Where Jeddah projects tend to lose money
The daily report writes itself, the same evening.
Jeddah Tower was adding a floor every three to four days in 2026, so daily progress and cycle-time records matter.
How it worksBudget, committed and actual, per site, every day.
A SR7.2 billion tower contract restarted after seven years and a SAR 12 billion destination programme both carry large cost-control exposure.
How it worksAttendance locked on submit. Bills computed from it.
Regional competition for skilled labour affects crew availability and subcontractor billing.
How it worksFigures in the screens above are sample data.

Questions from Jeddah
- Can contractors in Jeddah use ERP Infra?
- Yes. ERP Infra is web-based: office staff use it in a browser and site staff in a phone browser, so it can be used on projects in Jeddah. Demos and onboarding are done online by the Flip Retail team.
- Does ERP Infra have an office in Jeddah?
- No. ERP Infra is made by Flip Retail, based in Jaipur, India. Work with companies in Jeddah is done remotely, starting with a one-month pilot on one project.
- What should a construction company in Jeddah check before choosing an ERP?
- Check that it is organised by project and site, that site staff can use it on a phone, and that it can show the same evening what a site cost and whether material used matched the work done. Then ask for a pilot on one of your own projects before committing.
