Trusted by workspace and business-setup operators across the GCC
One operator. Five businesses. A dozen browser tabs.
In the GCC, a workspace is never just desks. You run virtual offices, company formation, PRO and visa work, and a member community. Then you stitch it together on WhatsApp chats, Excel sheets, and software built for WeWork-style desk rental. Renewals slip. VAT gets messy. Clients wait.
Renewals tracked in spreadsheets
Trade licenses, visas, and virtual-office contracts expire on dates nobody is watching.
Client updates lost in WhatsApp
Status requests pile up in personal chats with no record, no SLA, and no handover.
VAT done by hand
5 percent in the UAE, 15 percent in Saudi, Arabic invoices, ZATCA. Easy to get wrong, costly to fix.
Western tools that stop at the desk
Booking software has no idea what a PRO service or a MISA license even is.
Revenue you cannot see
Formation and PRO fees live outside the system, so you never see what each line really earns.
A team switching apps all day
Reception, PRO agents, and setup consultants each work in a different tool.
One platform for everything you actually do
Maktaby unifies the five businesses GCC operators run, with UAE and Saudi compliance built in, not bolted on. One login, one bill, one source of truth.

Workspace that runs itself
Bookings, desks, meeting rooms, QR check-in, credits, and recurring reservations. Members book and pay from their own portal, so your front desk stops being a booking clerk.

Questions operators ask us
Do I need separate tools for company formation and PRO services?+
No. Maktaby runs your lead pipeline, license catalog, proposals, and visa and PRO tasks alongside your workspace, so one team works from one system.
Is it compliant with UAE VAT and Saudi ZATCA?+
Yes. Invoices split subtotal, VAT, and total automatically at 5 percent for the UAE and 15 percent for Saudi, with Arabic tax invoices and ZATCA e-invoicing for Saudi operators.
Can members and clients use WhatsApp instead of email?+
Yes. WhatsApp is native. Booking confirmations, renewal reminders, visitor alerts, and two-way support all run on WhatsApp, with email as the backup.
Does it work for a single space or only multi-site operators?+
Both. Start with one location on Starter, then add locations, franchise mode, and per-location reporting as you grow.
Can I move over from Nexudus, OfficeRnD, or spreadsheets?+
Yes. Import your members, plans, and resources, and we help you map your current setup during onboarding.
How fast can we go live?+
Most operators run their first real booking and invoice within a day. The formation and PRO modules switch on whenever you are ready for them.
