Your afternoon covered, four days a week
Offshore software, web, marketing and back-office teams for businesses in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is expanding its technology and services base quickly, and demand for delivery capacity is running ahead of what can be hired locally. The practical points to settle up front are the working week and where data is allowed to sit.
Working hours
We work 09:00โ17:00 UTC, which is 12:00โ20:00 in Riyadh all year โ about five hours across your afternoon. Note the working weeks differ: yours runs Sunday to Thursday and ours Monday to Friday, so four days are shared.
Why Saudi businesses work with an offshore team
- โVision 2030 programmes have pushed demand for software, web and digital work well beyond the available local supply, and salary expectations have risen accordingly.
- โVisa and relocation costs for technical staff are significant for work that does not require someone in the Kingdom.
- โOur afternoon overlap covers your afternoon, and a short direct flight makes on-site sessions practical when a project warrants them.

Questions from Saudi clients
How do the different working weeks affect us?
Your week runs Sunday to Thursday and ours Monday to Friday, so four days overlap. For ongoing engagements we can cover Sundays so your full week is served โ we would rather set that out now than have it surface later.
How much daily overlap is there?
About five hours. Our day is 12:00โ20:00 Riyadh time and neither country observes daylight saving, so it never shifts.
Does the PDPL allow processing outside the Kingdom?
Yes, subject to its transfer conditions and appropriate safeguards. We sign a data processing agreement reflecting them before any personal data changes hands.
Data protection in Saudi Arabia is governed by the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), regulated by SDAIA. We are a technology supplier, not legal or tax advisers โ confirm your own obligations with your adviser.
