Why Ataam
From opportunity to collection — your whole deal cycle on one platform
Posting a project and receiving offers is only the start of a deal. Ataam takes you the rest of the way: award, purchase order, delivery and transport, e-invoice, collection and a performance profile — in one deal file between private-sector companies.
- The Basic plan is free for buying
- Your deal data is visible to its parties only

Frequently asked questions
How is Ataam different from project-posting platforms?
Posting a project and receiving offers is the start of a deal. Ataam continues after it: offer comparison and award, purchase order, delivery and transport, the e-invoice through Ataam ERP, collections and statements, and a verified performance profile — in one deal file between private-sector companies.
Does Ataam finance me?
No. Financing, instalments and insurance are provided by licensed, accredited companies. Ataam is an intermediary platform that only presents the offers — it does not lend, does not make the financing decision and does not collect instalments.
Where does my money go?
In company deals on Ataam (B2B), deal amounts are transferred directly between the parties, and Ataam does not hold them. Payments that go through a payment gateway — such as subscriptions, add-ons and home-services orders — are processed by a licensed payment gateway.
Is everything on this page live?
Stages and features marked «Available now» work in the dashboard today, some depending on the plan as noted. Anything marked «Coming soon» is being launched.
Is registration free?
Yes. Registering your company and buying are free on the Basic plan, which is free until 1 January 2027.
