Government — Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Beneficiary satisfaction evidence for Saudi government entities

The Digital Government Authority's Digital Experience Maturity Index assesses government digital platforms every year on four pillars: beneficiary satisfaction, user experience, complaints handling, and technologies and tools. Continuous feedback, closed complaints and in-Kingdom data are the evidence those pillars ask for.

Qmeter collects that evidence on digital and physical channels, hosted in Saudi Arabia or on the entity's own servers.

Qmeter runs visitor feedback for public cultural institutions in Abu Dhabi and customer feedback for banks and service networks across the Gulf and the Caucasus, in Arabic and English.

The index

Four pillars, and the evidence behind each

The Digital Government Authority launched the index in 2022; the 2026 edition covered 59 platforms with more than 805,500 survey participants. The public results name the pillars; the detailed scoring method is the Authority's own.

Beneficiary satisfaction

Measured through the Authority's "Evaluate Your Digital Experience" survey, with participation more than doubling between the 2025 and 2026 editions. An entity that asks its own beneficiaries after every transaction is not surprised by the national survey.

User experience and complaints handling

Two of the four pillars concern how the service feels and what happens when something goes wrong. Both need a record: who complained, who owned it, how long it took, whether the beneficiary confirmed the fix.

Data inside the Kingdom

The Personal Data Protection Law, supervised by SDAIA, restricts transfers of personal data outside the Kingdom to defined cases. Feedback that includes contact details is personal data; hosting it in Saudi Arabia removes the question.

The checklist

What an entity should be able to show, every quarter

Not a one-off survey before the assessment, but a running record, Arabic first and within the Personal Data Protection Law.

01

A rating after every transaction, on every channel

Portal, app, contact centre and service counter: one short question in Arabic and English right after the service, tagged with the service and the channel.

02

Complaints handled to closure, with proof

Every low rating or complaint opens a case with a named owner and a deadline; closing requires the cause and the action; the beneficiary is asked whether it was fixed.

03

Results by service, by channel, by month

A dashboard the service owner reads weekly and a report the leadership reads monthly, so the trend is known before the index is published.

Beneficiary satisfaction by service and channel

Portal and app widgets, SMS after a transaction, QR at the counter and kiosks in the service hall all write to one dashboard: satisfaction by service, by channel, by region and by day, in Arabic and English, with a scheduled report for the service owner.

  • Arabic right-to-left surveys and reports
  • Portal, app, SMS, QR, kiosk and post-call channels
  • Scheduled reports per service owner
  • Trend over the assessment year

Complaints handling with a record

A low rating opens a case automatically. The queue shows every open complaint with its service, owner, priority and how much of the deadline has elapsed. After closure the beneficiary is asked whether the problem was solved; the recovery rate is a tracked figure.

  • Named owner and deadline on every case
  • Escalation when a deadline slips
  • Beneficiary confirmation after closure
  • Audit trail for the quality unit

What IT, security and procurement will ask

Short answers; details in writing on a technical call.

Where is the data hosted?

On a Qmeter instance hosted in Saudi Arabia, or on the entity's own infrastructure with on-premise deployment. Personal data in feedback can stay inside the Kingdom.

PDPL and personal data

Ratings are anonymous by default; contact details are collected only when the beneficiary asks to be contacted, with PII masking, audited reveal and deletion workflows. See security.

Arabic first

Arabic interface for beneficiaries and staff, Arabic reports, English and further languages for residents. See multilingual surveys.

Integration

API and webhooks connect ratings and cases to the entity's portal, CRM or case system. See integrations.
