The Establishment Locations Management Service is a comprehensive electronic solution provided by the Qiwa platform under Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. It enables business owners to add, update, and manage their company’s physical locations and branches flexibly and accurately.
The service allows registering the company’s main site and its branches, and assigning employees to each location, ensuring efficient organization of work.
Management is performed by logging into the company account on Qiwa and navigating to the “Manage Establishment Locations” section, where new sites can be added by entering the name, description, full address, and municipal license number if available. Locations can be added manually or linked to the municipality license. Users can also modify location status—activating or deactivating sites—and designate a primary branch that affects Saudization reports and regulations.
The service integrates with Saudization systems and establishment segment classification. Accurate location data and employee assignments are prerequisites to fully leveraging Qiwa services like issuing/renewing work permits, service transfers, and contract management. Detailed reports showing each location’s status and assigned workforce facilitate compliance monitoring and human resource management.
