Platform Overview

What is Tawridy?

Tawridy is a purpose-built procurement and trading platform designed for GCC-based trading companies, distributors, and contractors. It digitizes the entire trading cycle -- from receiving a customer inquiry to delivering goods and reconciling invoices. Built with the unique requirements of Middle Eastern commerce in mind, Tawridy supports multi-currency transactions, bilingual (Arabic/English) document generation, VAT compliance, and trade finance workflows that are standard across the Gulf region. Whether you are a small trading house sourcing industrial equipment or a large contractor managing multi-million riyal projects, Tawridy gives your team a single platform to manage sales, procurement, operations, and finance.
