Custom web software for Dhaka businesses: inventory, orders, dashboards and automations that replace spreadsheets and manual data entry.
Whether you run three outlets across Mirpur and Uttara or a buying house in Gulshan, the problem is usually the same: data lives in five places and someone retypes it every day. I build one system that holds it, and you test it in a demo every week until launch.

Companies searching for the best software developer in Dhaka are usually well past the spreadsheet stage without admitting it. A pharmacy chain tracks stock in a separate Excel file per branch, a buying house in Banani follows sample approvals in a WhatsApp group, and an accounts officer spends every Saturday matching bKash statements to invoices. Each of those is a custom software job.
Large ERP packages promise to fix this, and plenty of Dhaka firms buy one, use a small part of it, and quietly keep the old spreadsheet running beside it. Custom software works the other way round. It starts from the exact steps your team already follows and removes the retyping, phone approvals and end-of-day counting, one workflow at a time.
The usual build from a professional software developer in Dhaka is a web app your staff open in a browser on any office PC or phone, with a dashboard for the owner. Typical modules are inventory and order systems, approval flows and automated reports, plus integrations with bKash, Nagad, SMS gateways, courier services or Google Sheets, so data moves between systems without anyone copying it.
I am the only software engineer on every project: no account managers, no juniors and no outsourcing. Dhaka clients work with me entirely by call, email and video. You approve the screens before development begins, pay 50% to start and 50% at launch, and see working software in a demo every week instead of a progress report.
Each of these is scoped and priced in writing before the first payment, so there are no surprise invoices.
Stock, purchase orders and sales orders for every branch or warehouse in one system, with low-stock alerts instead of a monthly manual count.
Sales, dues, stock value and staff activity on one screen, updated as work happens and readable on your phone between meetings.
Daily reports, invoice generation, SMS payment reminders and data entry between systems run on their own, on a schedule you set.
Connections to bKash, Nagad, card gateways, SMS providers, courier services and your accounting sheets, so each number is entered once.
Owners, managers, accounts and floor staff each see only what they need, and every change is logged with a name and a time.
The price agreed in writing after scoping is the price you pay, and you test real software every week as it is built.
Hiring an in-house software engineer means a salary, equipment and weeks of recruiting before the first line of code, and the system then depends on one employee staying. For a defined project such as an inventory system or an approval workflow, a fixed-price build from a custom software developer in Dhaka is usually cheaper and easier to hand over.
Agencies in Tejgaon or Gulshan offer bigger teams, so ask who writes the code and who answers when it breaks. The best freelance software developer in Dhaka may quote less, so ask whether they will still be reachable in a year. I sit between the two: one senior person, a written quote, and an optional fixed monthly support fee after launch.
Whichever route you choose, even with a top software developer in Dhaka, judge the quote rather than the pitch. It should list every screen, report, integration and user role, plus what support costs once the system is live. My custom builds start from ৳3,00,000 and every line is written down before you pay.
Custom builds are quoted after a free scoping call. You get one fixed price in writing, paid 50% to start and 50% on launch.

Use these six tests on any software developer in Dhaka before you sign, whether the project is inventory, approvals or automated reports.
Hand over one spreadsheet your team uses every day and ask how the software would replace it. A strong developer asks about exceptions, such as returns or branch transfers, before suggesting any screens.
Make sure every record can be exported to Excel or CSV at any time. If your stock and sales history can only be read inside the developer's system, switching later becomes expensive.
Ask to use a previous system as two different users, such as an owner and a floor staff member. Each should see only its own screens, and every edit should show who made it.
Ask what happens to a half-entered order when power or internet drops in a Dhaka office. Data should either save fully or fail cleanly, never leaving a broken record behind.
Ask how often the database is backed up and when a restore was last tested. A developer who cannot answer both in plain words has not run a live business system.
Ask what server, domain, SMS and payment gateway fees will cost each month after launch. Get these figures in writing before you approve any quote, so the total cost is clear.
What Dhaka owners and managers ask before commissioning custom software.
Custom builds start from ৳3,00,000, quoted in writing after a free scoping call. Payment is split 50% to start and 50% at launch, and bKash, Nagad, bank transfer or card all work. Designs are approved before development starts, and you see a working demo every week.
The timeline is fixed in the written quote after scoping, because it depends on how many workflows, user roles and integrations you need. Larger projects are split into phases, so your team starts using the first module, often inventory or orders, while the next is being built. Each phase shows up in the weekly demos.
Ask three questions: who writes the code, what exactly is in the quote, and what happens after launch. My answers: I write it myself, every line is in writing, and support is a fixed monthly fee. Across 50+ clients and teams, the work holds a 4.9 average rating. The best custom software developer in Dhaka for you is the one whose quote you can check line by line.
Process mapping on the scoping call, screen designs you approve before development, the web app and admin dashboard, the integrations and automations named in your quote, then launch, QA and handover. Monthly support for fixes, updates and new features is optional and priced as a fixed fee.
Yes, every step runs over call, email and video. Your staff show me the current process on a screen share, I turn it into designs for approval, and every week you get a link to test the latest version from your own desk in Motijheel, Tejgaon or wherever your team sits.
Usually, yes, and this is where an affordable software developer in Dhaka saves you the most. Repeated tasks like copying orders into sheets, building the daily sales report, matching bKash and Nagad payments to invoices or sending dues reminders can run automatically. Bring the spreadsheet your team dislikes most to the free 15-minute call, and I will tell you which parts can be automated.
The best software developer in Dhaka depends on the problem you need solved and the budget you have for it. The criteria that matter most are a quote you can check line by line, clear answers about who writes and supports the code, and working software shown before launch. RH Fardin fits Dhaka firms that want one senior engineer, a fixed written price from ৳3,00,000 and weekly demos, backed by 120+ projects and a 4.9 average rating.
Yes, and for a business with several outlets it is the safer route. The first phase can go live at one branch, for example in Mirpur, while the others keep their current process until the numbers match. RH Fardin writes each phase and its launch date into the quote, and you watch progress in a demo every week before any branch switches over.
