Built for trade
Chittagong firms lose hours chasing paperwork, not customers
Searches for the best software developer in Chittagong often come from businesses tied to the port. A C&F agent in Agrabad tracks bills of entry and assessment status for dozens of importers by phone. A Khatunganj commodity trader keeps credit for every shop he supplies in a paper khata. Both lose working hours to tasks a simple database could handle.
Generic accounting packages handle the books but not the trade. They do not know what an LC margin is, which container is still at the yard, or which buyer gets 30 days of credit. A custom software developer in Chittagong builds around those rules, so the system matches how Chattogram trade works instead of forcing staff into someone else's process.
Typical builds are web apps with an owner dashboard: shipment and document trackers, inventory for godowns in Kalurghat or Sagorika, production tracking for EPZ suppliers, and dues ledgers with automatic SMS reminders. Integrations connect bKash, Nagad, bank transfers, email and SMS, and the repetitive status updates your clients ask for go out on their own.
I am the only person on your project, so the software engineer you brief on the first call is the one who builds, tests and supports the system. I work with businesses in Chittagong by call, email and video. Designs are approved before development, payment is 50% to start and 50% at launch, and every week you test a working demo.
What's included
What Chittagong clients get from a custom build
Every module, integration and report below is listed in your written quote before any money changes hands.
01
Shipment and document tracking
Each consignment shows its LC, bill of lading, bill of entry and delivery status, with the files attached and the next step assigned to a named person.
02
Digital credit ledger
Every buyer's limit, dues, payments and overdue days in one ledger, with SMS reminders sent automatically when a due date passes.
03
Godown inventory
Stock in, stock out and transfers between godowns, with batch or lot numbers where your goods need them.
04
Automated client updates
Importers and buyers receive an SMS or email when their shipment moves, instead of phoning your office for news.
05
Owner dashboard
Cash position, outstanding dues, open shipments and stock value on one screen, readable on your phone from anywhere.
06
Fixed scope, weekly demos
The written quote fixes what gets built, and a demo every week shows exactly how far the build has come.
In focus
What the Chittagong software market gets wrong
The common mistake is buying software by price per module from a catalogue, then discovering it cannot handle partial shipments, mixed currencies or credit terms that differ by buyer. Before you hire a software developer in Chattogram, describe three real, messy transactions from last month and ask exactly how the proposed system would record each one.
The second mistake is building everything at once. A trading house that starts with the ledger and dues reminders saves staff time in the first phase, then adds shipment tracking and godown modules once the team trusts the data. Phasing spreads the cost across smaller quotes, which is the honest answer for anyone searching for an affordable software developer in Chattogram.
Price follows scope, whether you hire an agency or a freelance custom software developer in Chittagong. Custom builds start from ৳3,00,000, quoted after a free scoping call, with 50% to start and 50% at launch. The written quote lists every module, integration and user role, so cheaper offers can be checked line by line.

Before you hire
How to choose the best software developer in Chittagong
These six checks help a Chittagong trading house, C&F agent or factory test any software developer in Chattogram before signing a contract.
01
Check the edit history
Ask to see how the system shows who changed a dues balance or shipment status, and when. Where credit disputes are common, a log with names and times settles arguments in minutes.
02
Ask about sister concerns
Ask whether one login can handle more than one trade licence or sister concern, each with its own ledger. Many Chattogram family businesses run several concerns from one office.
03
Test on a weak connection
Ask for a demo on a phone with poor signal, the way staff at a Kalurghat godown or the port yard would use it. Pages should still load, and saving twice should never create duplicate entries.
04
Ask where documents are stored
Ask where scanned LCs, bills of lading and bills of entry will be kept, how much storage is included, and who can download them. These files are needed long after a shipment clears.
05
Check SMS cost and sender
Ask what each automated dues reminder will cost per SMS and whether it shows your company name. A reminder from an unknown number is easy for a buyer in Khatunganj to ignore.
06
Ask for a restore test
Ask how often data is backed up and to see a backup restored. Losing a credit ledger means losing track of money owed to you, so a vague answer here is a red flag.
Frequently asked
Straight answers before you hire.
Answers for Chittagong traders, agents and manufacturers planning custom software.
How much does a custom software developer in Chittagong cost?
Custom builds start from ৳3,00,000. After a free scoping call you get a fixed quote in writing, then pay 50% to start and 50% at launch by bKash, Nagad, bank transfer or card. Designs are approved before development starts, and weekly demos show progress throughout.
How soon can the first part of the system go live?
The launch date for each phase goes into the written quote after scoping. Splitting the work, for example the ledger first and shipment tracking second, puts a usable system in front of your staff sooner than one large release. Weekly demos let you check that the date is holding.
How should I compare the best software developer in Chittagong with an off-the-shelf package?
Give both the same test: three real transactions from your business, including one with a partial delivery or a disputed credit balance. Packaged software is cheaper upfront if it handles all three cleanly. If it does not, software built around your own rules is usually the better long-term buy. The same test works when shortlisting a top software developer in Chittagong.
What does a custom build include?
From me, or from any professional software developer in Chattogram, a build should include scoping, screen designs you approve, the web application and owner dashboard, the integrations and automations named in the quote, then QA, launch and handover. After launch you can add fixed-fee monthly support for bug fixes, updates and new features as the business grows.
Do we need to meet in person to build the software?
No. I work with Chittagong businesses by call, email and video. Your team walks me through the current files and ledgers on a screen share, designs come to you online for approval, and each weekly demo is a link your staff in Agrabad, Khatunganj or anywhere else in Chattogram can open and test.
Can the software send updates to our importers automatically?
Yes. When a shipment status changes, for example assessment completed or goods released, the system can send an SMS or email to the importer and log that it went out. Your staff stop answering the same status calls, and every client sees one consistent record of updates.
Who is the best software developer in Chittagong?
There is no single best software developer in Chittagong for every firm; it depends on your goal and your budget. For trading houses, C&F agents and factories, the criteria that matter most are software that follows your real credit and shipment rules, a fixed written quote, and direct access to the person building it. RH Fardin fits Chattogram firms wanting one senior engineer, custom builds from ৳3,00,000, 120+ delivered projects and a 4.9 average rating.
Can our Chattogram office and our Dhaka office use the same software?
Yes. The systems RH Fardin builds are web apps that open in a browser, so staff at the port office in Chattogram and the head office in Dhaka work on the same live records. User roles control what each office can see or change, and every edit is logged with a name and a time.
