The best custom software development company in Dhaka is usually the one that listens longer than it codes.
I am RH Fardin, a senior solo developer for Dhaka businesses. I scope, design, build and ship custom software for Bangladeshi companies. There's no project manager in the middle and no junior team. You explain the problem once, and I deliver the software that solves it. Starting from 50,000 BDT.
Senior solo operator | About 5 years building for BD clients | bKash/Nagad-ready | 50% advance, 50% on launch | Design approval before code
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.
Trusted by teams I've built websites for
Every week, a Dhaka business owner tells me the same story. They hired what they thought was the best custom software development company in Dhaka, an agency in Gulshan or Banani. They paid 4 to 5 lakh BDT and waited eight months. They ended up with a half-finished product that doesn't match what they asked for.
The reason is almost never the developers. It's the handoff chain. The salesperson hears one thing, and the project manager writes another. The junior coder builds a third. By the time it reaches testing, nobody remembers what the client first needed. With me, that chain is one link long.
I am RH Fardin, a senior developer with about 5 years of building custom software, web apps and ecommerce systems for businesses across Bangladesh. I don't run an office in Banani with twenty desks. I run a focused practice. I scope the requirements and design the user flow myself. I write the code, set up the hosting and connect the payment gateways. I stay on call after launch too.
When you message me on WhatsApp at 11pm because something broke, you reach the person who built it.
"Best" is a matter of opinion, so let me be honest about what I do best. I build small to mid-size custom software for BD businesses. These systems need 1 to 5 user roles, a clean admin panel and bKash or Nagad payments. They also need SMS alerts, role-based permissions and reporting dashboards.
Inventory systems, school management, HR and payroll, and clinic appointment systems are my zone. So are distributor order management, restaurant POS and real-estate CRMs. If you need a 200-screen ERP for a 5,000-employee garments factory, I'll be the first to refer you to a larger team.
Pricing is simple and quoted in BDT, not USD. Custom software starts from 3,00,000 BDT for a real product with a database, admin panel and user roles. Smaller utility tools and light web apps can sometimes fit my 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT website tiers, if the scope allows. The smallest projects start at 50,000 BDT. Payment is always 50% advance by bank transfer or bKash, and 50% on launch. There's no hidden "maintenance retainer" you didn't ask for.
The label "best" should mean something specific. Here is what I deliver that most Dhaka software shops do not.
Your requirements never pass between five people. I take the brief and ask the hard questions. The same person who agreed to the scope writes the code.
Payment links for bKash Merchant, Nagad, SSLCommerz and AamarPay come built in. I have done the OTP flows, the IPN callbacks and the refund cases before.
Bangla input, BDT in lakh and crore format and NID-based KYC fields are built in. So are checks for 11-digit BD mobile numbers and division, district and upazila pickers. They are default features, not afterthoughts.
You see and approve the full screens in Figma before I write the first line of backend code. If the screens don't match how your team works, we fix it on paper, not in the live system.
Your accounts manager, shop floor supervisor and data entry staff all need to read it easily. So I make it clear and Bangla-friendly. No raw data dumps, no developer-only dashboards.
On launch you get the source code, the database, the server access and the documentation. If you ever want to move to another developer, nothing is held hostage.
Who is the best custom software developer in Dhaka? Honestly, it's the one who won't start coding until they fully understand your business process. Most Dhaka agencies quote within 24 hours of a vague request. Their sales target is to close the deal before you talk to a second vendor. I do the opposite.
Before I quote, I ask for a 30 to 60 minute call. You walk me through how the work happens now and who does what. You show me where the spreadsheets and printed registers live, and what exactly breaks. From that talk I write a one-page scope document. You sign it, and it becomes the contract. If we find new needs mid-build, we discuss them openly, not through inflated change requests at the end.
The other half of "best" is life after launch. Custom software is never truly finished. It just reaches version one. Your staff will use it for two weeks and come back with twelve small change requests. Half are bugs and half are "can we also do this" ideas.
I include 30 days of free fixes for real bugs after launch. New features come at clear hourly rates, and you keep full ownership of the code. Maybe a year later you want an in-house developer to take over. Hand them the repository and the documentation and walk away. That is how custom software should work in Dhaka, and that is the standard I hold myself to.

Real questions from real Dhaka business owners who messaged me about custom software in the last few months.
Real custom software with a database, admin panel, user roles and at least one payment link starts from 3,00,000 BDT with me. Smaller utility tools or single-purpose web apps sometimes fit my 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT tiers. The smallest project is 50,000 BDT. The exact number depends on the user roles and integrations, like bKash, Nagad, SMS or accounting. It also depends on whether you need iOS or Android apps. I quote a fixed price after one scoping call, not by guessing.
Trust should come from what you see, not office size. Ask any Dhaka software company to show you the developer who will write your code. Most can't. By the time the project starts, the senior who pitched it is on another sale. With me, the person who quotes is the person who builds. You can check my work at rhfardin.com and look at my Google profile. We also sign a proper contract with milestones.
Yes, this is standard work for me. I have set up bKash Tokenized Checkout, Nagad Merchant, SSLCommerz, AamarPay and ShurjoPay in past projects. You apply for the merchant accounts yourself, with KYC, TIN and bank documents. I handle the technical side: OTP flows, IPN callbacks, refunds and reconciliation reports.
A typical custom system takes 6 to 12 weeks from contract to live launch. That covers things like inventory, school management, clinic appointments or distributor orders. Weeks 1 to 2 are for gathering needs and Figma designs. Weeks 3 to 8 are development. In weeks 9 to 10, your team tests on a staging server. Weeks 11 to 12 cover bug fixes, training and go-live. Anyone promising real custom software in 3 weeks is reskinning a template or cutting corners you'll pay for later.
Yes, 100%. On launch day I hand over the full source code, uploaded to your GitHub or Bitbucket account. You also get the database backup, server logins, deployment steps and basic technical documentation. I don't hold code hostage or lock you into a forced maintenance contract. If you want to hire your own developer next year and stop working with me, they'll have everything they need on day one.
Yes. After launch I run 2 to 4 training sessions on Google Meet for your admin users and end users. I also record screen-share videos in a Bangla-English mix that your staff can rewatch. I write a short user manual covering the most common tasks too. Most "this software is too complex" problems in BD come from zero training, not bad software.
