Lamar Holding
Industry: Facility Management
Sector: Multisector Operations (Energy, Medical, Healthcare, Catering, Services)
Lamar Holding, headquartered in Saudi Arabia, is known as the “partner of choice for high-potential opportunities in Saudi Arabia and the GCC.” With a 15-year track record, the company develops, builds, and operates large-scale projects across Saudi Arabia’s energy infrastructure network and has a significant presence in the medical, healthcare, catering, facility management, and services industries.
Operating in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Bahrain with over 200 employees, Lamar Holding faced significant challenges managing its financial operations due to reliance on a basic financial system that required extensive manual work. The company needed an integrated system compatible with new Saudi regulations to provide accurate financial insights and reduce operational overhead.

This included a sales module to manage quotations and customer contracts, an e-invoicing system supporting regional accounting standards ZATCA and tax reporting, and an inventory management system to streamline the supply chain. Additionally, the HR module was customized to comply with Saudi and Bahrain regulations, handling employee management, leaves, attendance, and payroll.

This integration ensured efficient and compliant operations across all business areas, enabling Lamar Holding to streamline processes, gain accurate financial insights, and reduce operational overhead.
