Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: The Saudi software platform Rekaz raised $5 million in a seed funding round, led by COTU Ventures, with participation from Impact46, Shorooq, Numrah Capital, and angel investors.

The investment vehicle will enable Rekaz to scale its products, enhance AI capabilities, and expand its presence across the GCC and wider markets, the company announced in a press release today.

Rekaz offers an end-to-end system for service-based businesses such as gyms, salons, and mobile providers, providing a wide range of services from scheduling and subscriptions to payments and client management.

Abdulrahman Alomran, CEO and co-founder of Rekaz, said: “Our mission is to do for service SMBs what Shopify did for e-commerce. Most service businesses are still operating through scattered tools, spreadsheets, and manual work. We’re building the infrastructure they’ve been missing.”

Rekaz replaces fragmented workflows and manual coordination with a streamlined, intelligent platform, allowing businesses to launch their own branded booking websites and mobile apps to grow online.

For his part, CTO and Co-founder Abdulaziz Alkharashi highlighted that Rekaz was designed to be flexible, intelligent, and deeply aligned with how service businesses actually work.

Rekaz combines a purpose-built internal system with AI-powered insights and personalized onboarding flows that adapt to each business type. This approach enables merchants to get started quickly and run more efficiently, with less friction and fewer moving parts.

Over 7,000 businesses used Rekaz to process more than 1 million appointments and subscriptions, showing strong traction among single-location operators and growing multi-branch businesses.
