Which May Fit Your Team Better?

Arkan may fit better if

  • Your site and office teams need a full Arabic interface
  • Your payments run from a BOQ, with retention and advance payment recovery
  • You want setup, data import and training from a team in the UAE

Procore may fit better if

  • Your company already uses Procore as its standard across countries
  • You need interface languages beyond English and Arabic, such as French, German, Spanish or Japanese
  • You prefer pricing based on annual construction volume with unlimited users
  • You rely on a large catalogue of third-party integrations from Procore's App Marketplace
  • You prefer a long-established global vendor; Arkan is a newer, regional platform
