As organizations across MENA push to digitize operations, they often face a gap: global low-code tools are powerful, but they are not designed for Arabic, local regulations, or regional hosting needs. Cortex fills this gap as an Arabic-first, enterprise-grade low-code and automation platform built with the region in mind.
Why “Arabic-First” Matters
For many teams in the Middle East, adoption fails not because of technology, but because of user experience:
- Users struggle with English-only interfaces
- RTL layouts are poorly supported
- Local formats (dates, currencies, names) are not handled smoothly
By putting Arabic UI and RTL support at the center, Cortex:
- Makes workflows more intuitive for Arabic-speaking users
- Reduces training time and resistance to change
- Improves data quality by reducing input errors
Core Capabilities of Cortex
Visual Workflow & App Designer
Teams can design end-to-end workflows, forms, and pages using a drag-and-drop designer instead of hand-coding. This allows faster collaboration between business and IT.
Deep Integration with ERP and Core Systems
Cortex focuses on process automation plus ERP integration, making it ideal for organizations using:
- Odoo
- Microsoft Dynamics 365
- Custom ERPs and legacy systems
Through APIs and connectors, Cortex keeps data in sync across systems, so you don’t end up with siloed apps.
Flexible Deployment: Cloud and On-Prem
For many MENA organizations, data sovereignty and hosting location are non-negotiable. Cortex supports:
- Public cloud deployment
- Private cloud / on-premise deployment
- Hosting in GCC or Egypt for regulatory requirements
This flexibility gives IT and compliance teams more confidence compared to cloud-only, region-locked platforms. ToolJet
AI-Driven Automation with Cortex
Cortex includes AI Flow Builder capabilities that help teams:
- Describe workflows in English or Arabic
- Get suggested flow structures and rules
- Use analytics to spot bottlenecks and improvement opportunities
When combined with low-code, AI helps organizations move from manual, reactive processes to smart, proactive automation.
Governance, Security, and Compliance
Enterprise automation requires more than speed. Cortex is designed with:
- Role-based access control
- Audit logs for all key actions
- Configurable approval hierarchies
- Clear separation of environments (dev, test, production)
This ensures IT keeps control, even as business users participate in building and improving workflows.
When to Choose Cortex Over Global Tools
Cortex is especially strong when:
- You need Arabic-first experiences and full RTL support
- You require local hosting (on-prem, GCC, Egypt)
- You want deeper ERP integration rather than isolated apps
- Licensing per user in global tools becomes too expensive or restrictive
In many cases, organizations use Cortex as their primary low-code layer, while still integrating with tools like Microsoft Power Platform where it makes sense. Microsoft Learn+1
