Enterprise Power. Startup Speed.

Everything Enterprise Tools Offer. None of the Pain.

Enterprise construction software promises comprehensive capabilities—and delivers them buried under hidden pricing, 6-month implementations, and consultants who cost more than the software. Arkan gives you the features you need, live in 5 days.

The Problem

You Know the Story

Enterprise construction software has a pattern. Here's what you're signing up for.

You need a price quote. They need a "discovery call."

Enterprise software companies won't show you pricing until you've sat through demos, discovery calls, and "solution architecture" sessions. By the time you get a number, you've invested weeks—and they know you're unlikely to walk away.

Implementation takes longer than some of your projects.

Six months. Nine months. A year. Enterprise implementations stretch on while your projects can't wait. You're paying for software you can't use, training teams on systems that aren't ready.

The consulting fees cost more than the software.

The platform is just the start. Implementation partners. Annual "success" fees. The total cost of ownership is 3x what you budgeted—and they knew that from the start.

Per-seat pricing punishes collaboration.

You want to add your subcontractors to the system? That's 50 more seats. Your client wants visibility? More seats. Enterprise pricing models actively discourage the collaboration they claim to enable.

US-centric features don't fit Gulf workflows.

Templates built for American construction. Compliance frameworks you don't need. Support teams in US timezones who've never heard of FIDIC or OSHAD. You spend months customizing a system that should have worked out of the box.

Why Teams Made the Switch

"We were quoted a significant budget for Year 1 with an enterprise platform, plus 4 months to implement. Arkan cost us a fraction of that for the year, and we were live in a week. Same features. Different philosophy."

CFO
General Contractor, Abu Dhabi

"The enterprise sales process alone took 3 months. Discovery calls, demos, proposal reviews, contract negotiations. With Arkan, I signed up and had my team trained by Friday."
