FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Everything you need to know about working with Omavix, our services and careers.
General
What does Omavix do?
Omavix is a technology services company with teams in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and Islamabad, Pakistan, working with clients worldwide. We build websites, mobile apps and custom software, implement Odoo and build custom Odoo modules, set up IT infrastructure and networks, run cloud services, provide managed IT support and AI automation, and manage digital marketing and social media.
Where is Omavix based?
We have teams in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and Islamabad, Pakistan, and work with clients anywhere in the world — on-site in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and remotely everywhere else.
Do you work with clients outside Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Websites, Odoo modules, software, cloud, digital marketing and social media are delivered fully remotely for clients in any country, with calls scheduled in your time zone. On-site infrastructure work outside Saudi Arabia and Pakistan is arranged per project.
Do you work in Arabic and English?
Yes. Our team communicates, documents and builds products in both languages.
How do projects start?
With a free discovery call — book one online or send us a message — followed by a short proposal with scope, timeline and cost.
Process & pricing
How do you price projects?
Fixed price for well-defined scopes, or monthly retainers for ongoing work. Every quote is itemised.
Can we start with a small pilot?
Yes. Many clients start with a 2–6 week pilot that proves value before a larger commitment.
How do you keep us updated during a project?
A shared board, a weekly summary and a live demo every two weeks — you always know what is done and what is next.
Which services can be combined?
All of them. A typical engagement combines a new office network with Microsoft 365 and a support contract, or Odoo with a website and cloud hosting — one partner, one point of contact.
Support
Do you offer support after launch?
Yes. Every project includes a warranty period, and we offer monthly support plans and annual maintenance contracts (AMC) with agreed response times.
Careers
Can I apply if there is no open role for me?
Yes. Send your CV through the general application form and we will contact you when a matching role opens.
What does the hiring process look like?
A short screening call, a practical task or technical interview, and a final conversation with the team lead.
How is my application data used?
Only for recruitment. CVs are stored privately, scanned for malware and deleted after the retention period in our Privacy Policy.
Contact
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to every enquiry within one business day.
Can we meet in person?
Yes — in Jeddah or Islamabad, or by video call for clients anywhere else. Book a call at a time that suits your time zone.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We are happy to sign an NDA before discussing project details.
Software Development
How much does custom software development cost?
It depends on scope. Every project is quoted after a short discovery call that fixes the scope, timeline and cost — with an itemised proposal and no surprises.
How long does it take to build a web application?
A first usable version typically takes 6–12 weeks, followed by iterative improvements.
Who owns the source code?
You do. All code, designs and documentation are transferred to you on delivery.
Can you integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. We regularly integrate with ERPs, accounting tools, payment gateways and government platforms through their APIs.
Mobile App Development
Do you build for both iOS and Android?
Yes. Most apps are built once with Flutter or React Native and released on both stores.
How long does an app take?
A first version usually takes 8–16 weeks, depending on features and integrations.
Will you publish the app to the stores?
Yes. We handle App Store and Google Play submission under your own developer accounts, so you own the app.
Can the app connect to Odoo or our website?
Yes. We connect apps to Odoo, your website and other systems so orders and data sync automatically.
AI & Automation
Is my data used to train public AI models?
No. We use enterprise APIs and settings that exclude your data from model training, and we can host models privately when needed.
Do your chatbots support Arabic?
Yes. Our assistants understand and reply in Modern Standard Arabic and common Gulf dialect phrasing, as well as English.
How accurate is invoice OCR?
Typically above 95% on clear documents. Low-confidence fields are flagged for human review before they reach your ERP.
How quickly can we see results?
Most pilots are live within 3–6 weeks and measured against a clear baseline.
Web & Digital
How long does a new website take?
A typical business website takes 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch.
Can we update the website ourselves?
Yes. Every site includes a CMS and a short training session for your team.
Do you build online stores?
Yes — on Shopify, WooCommerce or fully custom, integrated with local payment and shipping providers.
Is SEO included?
Technical SEO, structured data and performance optimisation are included in every project.
Do you host and maintain the website?
Yes. We can host your site, manage the domain and SSL, and keep it updated, backed up and secure under a monthly care plan — or hand everything over to your team.
Odoo & Business Systems
Is Odoo ZATCA compliant?
Yes, with the right localisation and configuration Odoo supports ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing. We handle the integration and testing.
Odoo Community or Enterprise?
It depends on the modules you need. We compare both against your requirements and licence budget before you decide.
Can you migrate data from our old system?
Yes. We migrate customers, products, opening balances and history from spreadsheets or legacy systems.
Which Odoo versions do you work with?
Current and recent versions of Odoo Community and Enterprise. We also upgrade older versions and migrate custom modules to the new one.
Can you build a single custom module for us?
Yes. Send us the requirement and your Odoo version; we quote a fixed price, build it with tests and deliver it ready to install.
How long does an Odoo implementation take?
Between 6 and 16 weeks depending on the number of modules, customisations and integrations.
Cloud Services
AWS or Azure — which should we choose?
Both are excellent. We recommend based on your existing tools, team skills, regional availability and pricing.
Can you reduce our cloud costs?
Most environments we review save 20–40% through rightsizing, scheduling and commitment plans.
Will migration cause downtime?
We plan migrations with replication and cut-over windows so downtime is minimal or zero.
Do you offer managed services?
Yes — monitoring, patching, backups and incident response under a monthly plan.
IT Infrastructure & Networking
Do you supply the hardware too?
Yes. We recommend vendor-neutral equipment, supply it with the installation and handle warranty registration — or install hardware you already own.
Can you work outside office hours?
Yes. Cut-overs and installations can be scheduled for evenings or weekends to avoid disrupting your team.
Do you work outside Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Design, configuration and support are delivered remotely anywhere; on-site work outside the Kingdom is arranged per project.
Who supports the network after installation?
We do, under a monthly IT support plan or an annual maintenance contract (AMC) — or we train your team to manage it.
Managed IT Support & AMC
What is an AMC?
An annual maintenance contract: a yearly agreement that covers preventive maintenance visits, support requests and agreed response times for a fixed fee.
How is the monthly fee calculated?
Mainly by the number of users, devices and servers, and whether on-site visits are included. You get a fixed quote after a free assessment.
How fast do you respond?
Response times are agreed in your SLA by priority — critical issues are handled first, and most requests are solved remotely the same day.
Can you support only part of our IT?
Yes. We can support your whole environment, or work alongside your in-house IT person on specific systems.
Digital Marketing
Which platforms do you advertise on?
Google, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), LinkedIn, TikTok, Snapchat and X — chosen by where your customers are.
How soon will we see results?
Paid ads can bring leads within days; SEO usually takes three to six months to build.
Is the ad budget included in your fee?
No. You pay the platforms directly and stay the owner of every ad account; our fee covers planning, management and reporting.
How do you report results?
A monthly report and call covering leads, sales, cost per lead and what we will do next.
