The Gulf's retail-tech sector has officially entered its "Intelligent Automation" phase with the landmark funding of Rewaa. On December 31, 2025, the Saudi-based cloud accounting and point-of-sale (POS) platform closed a $45 million Series B round, positioning it as one of the largest early-2026 milestones for Middle Eastern startups. Led by Wa’ed Ventures (the venture capital arm of Saudi Aramco), Idrisi Ventures, and Unity Partners, the round reflects a massive institutional bet on the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This capital injection follows a $27 million Series A in 2023 and will be used to transition Rewaa from a digitization tool into an AI-first operating system for merchants across Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf region.

The core of Rewaa’s 2026 expansion strategy is the integration of advanced AI-driven automation into its existing inventory and sales modules. By automating complex manual tasks—such as bookkeeping, stock reconciliation, and demand forecasting—Rewaa aims to reduce operational overhead for its 7,000+ active merchants. The new system is designed to provide real-time visibility into business performance, identifying trends and potential stock mismatches before they impact the bottom line. As Saudi Arabia pushes to diversify its economy under Vision 2030, Rewaa is positioning itself as the essential "digital plumbing" for modern retail, enabling local SMEs to compete with global e-commerce giants through a unified, intelligent platform that syncs physical and digital storefronts in real-time.
