Egyptian cloud-based inspection management software beXel has raised a six-figure US dollar round of funding to expand to Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries.

The startup helps service providers in digitally transforming their entire end-to-end process, going paperless, practicing social distancing and dropping their team inspection time to more than 60 per cent, and has been widely used in 14 different countries. It is now planning concerted expansion to Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries after raising a six-figure US dollar rounds of funding, led by JH Investments and featuring follow-on funding from Flat6Labs, UI Investments and Saudi angel investors.

Tarek Roushdy, managing partner of UI Investments, said he was glad to be a part of the beXel story.
“Joining beXel’s journey was an easy decision to take considering its strong team, the traction it made so far, its global exposure, its huge growth potential and finally being a startup that brings digitalisation to the oil & gas sector, which I belonged to,” he said.
beXel graduated from the Flat6Labs Egypt accelerator back in 2019, and managing partner Marie Therese Fam said her company had been a “true believer” in beXel’s team and product from day one.
“The solution beXel is offering to multiple global industries is unique and offers scalability and efficiency metrics not previously attainable.
