About Rekaz: Founded by Abdulrahman Al Omran (LinkedIn) and Abdulaziz Al Kharashi (LinkedIn) in 2023, Rekaz offers Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions for SMEs. The platform’s flagship product is an end-to-end booking and subscription management system that provides businesses with website-building tools, integrated online payment options, WhatsApp automation, and business performance reports.
