Custom software development in Chattogram, done by one senior operator who builds software around how your firm actually works — not a foreign template you spend a year bending to fit.
I am RH Fardin. I scope, design and write custom software for Chattogram firms that have outgrown spreadsheets and a wall of WhatsApp groups. Importers and C&F agents around Agrabad, trading houses off GEC, factories on the Kalurghat and DEPZ side, distributors moving stock across the port city — when your real process lives in Excel, email and people's heads, you do not need more software, you need software shaped to your process. I do the discovery, the database design, the screens, the code, the launch and the support myself, from 50,000 BDT, 50% advance and 50% on launch, with the full design approved before any code is written.

Here is the pattern. The business runs fine on Excel for a few years, then it does not. A trading house off GEC has so many sheets that two people are quietly keeping their own private copies because they no longer trust the master. A factory on the Kalurghat side is calculating production and raw-material stock by hand at month-end and finding the numbers never tie out.
A C&F agent near the port is tracking consignments across email, a register and three WhatsApp groups, and last month two of them slipped past the demurrage window because nobody owned the deadline. None of these owners woke up wanting software. They woke up because a deal slipped, stock went missing, or a customer was billed twice. That is the honest starting point for custom software development in Chattogram — not technology for its own sake, but a specific, expensive problem that the current setup keeps creating.
Before I quote anyone, I tell them the truth most vendors will not: a lot of firms do not need fully custom software at all. If a ready-made tool genuinely fits your workflow, I will say so and save you the money — there is no point paying to rebuild what already exists. Custom is worth it when your process is the thing that makes you money and no off-the-shelf product respects it.
In Chattogram that is constant, because so much of the economy runs on trade and manufacturing: an LC, a bill of entry, a delivery order, demurrage, bonded stock, a production batch, a distributor's credit cycle. Foreign SaaS and generic Bangladeshi ERPs have no concept of any of it, so firms end up running the most important parts of the business outside the system anyway. When that is your reality, custom software development in Chattogram BD is not a luxury — it is the only thing that will actually get used.
When you build with me, you are not handing your operation's core system to a software house where a salesman wins the contract and juniors you never meet write code against a spec they only half understood. I am the discovery call, the process mapping, the database design, the Figma screens, the code, the testing, the launch, and the person who answers on WhatsApp when a bug shows up at 9pm the night before a shipment clears.
One senior operator, around five years deep in building custom software and web systems for Bangladeshi firms, one thread from first message to launch. That single point of accountability is the whole reason this works at a price a Chattogram SME can justify — there is no layered team burning months building the wrong thing while a project manager emails you status updates.
Pricing is fixed and I will give you the koto-taka answer plainly on the first call. Focused tools — a single internal app, a stock-and-order tracker, a custom admin panel — start at 50,000 BDT. 90,000 BDT covers a more complete internal system with several modules and proper user roles. 1,50,000 BDT covers a fuller business system tying inventory, sales or operations together with real reporting.
Fully custom software — a genuine ERP, a C&F or logistics platform, a multi-warehouse or production system built from a blank canvas — starts from 3,00,000 BDT and is scoped honestly to what your operation needs, never padded to hit a number. Always 50% advance and 50% on launch, paid by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, and you approve the full design before a single line of code is written.
Six things a serious port-city firm gets when software is built around its real process instead of bolted onto a foreign template.
Before you spend a taka, I tell you whether a ready-made tool would do the job. You only pay for custom when your process genuinely needs it — never to rebuild something that already exists.
I map how your firm really runs — the bill of entry, the production batch, the delivery order, the credit cycle — and build around it. Your team stops bending the operation to fit foreign software.
Focused custom tools start at 50,000 BDT, with no software-house overhead loaded into the quote. The saving comes off the markup, never off the engineering that makes the software work.
Bangla labels where they help and a layout that works on the mid-range Android your warehouse keeper and field reps actually carry. Built for the person opening it daily, not just the owner who buys it.
No per-user dollar subscription quietly draining your account every month. Pay once to build it, own the software and the data, and grow it as the firm grows on your terms.
No code starts until you sign off the full screens and flows in Figma. If it does not match how your firm runs, we fix the design first — you never pay the second half for software you did not approve.
There are three signs I look for on a first call, and most firms have at least two. One: the numbers no longer agree. Different people quote different stock counts, sales figures or outstanding dues because the data lives in several Excel files that drifted apart, and month-end has become a reconciliation fight instead of a report.
Two: the important part of the work happens outside any system — the C&F desk tracks real consignments in WhatsApp, the factory floor records production on paper, the sales team carries credit balances in their heads — because the software you have has no idea what those things are. Three: growth has stalled on people, not demand.
You cannot add a warehouse, a route or a product line without adding the manual chaos that comes with it, because every new bit of volume means more sheets, more chasing, more things that quietly fall through. When those signs show up, no amount of better spreadsheet discipline fixes it. The problem is structural, and custom software development in Chattogram is about removing the structure that keeps creating the mess.
What I build replaces the silos with one system the whole firm trusts — and I build with restraint, because a tool the floor actually opens beats a tool with fifty features nobody touches. For a trading house that is one source of truth for stock, sales and dues, with reports that answer the questions you actually ask: what is my real stock right now, who owes me, which deal is exposed.
For a C&F or logistics firm it is consignment and document tracking with demurrage and deadline alerts, so nothing slips past the window again. For a factory it is production, raw-material and inventory tracking that finally ties out at month-end. I scope it honestly, design it on Figma before writing a line of code, lock the price — focused builds from 50,000 BDT, full custom systems from 3,00,000 BDT — and keep it 50% on signing, 50% on launch with no monthly retainer trap dressed up as support.

Straight answers to what Chattogram business owners ask me on the first WhatsApp message about getting software built.
It depends entirely on what the software has to do, and I will give you a real figure on the first call. Focused custom tools — a single internal app, a stock-and-order tracker, a custom admin panel — start at 50,000 BDT. 90,000 BDT covers a more complete internal system with several modules and user roles. 1,50,000 BDT covers a fuller business system tying inventory, sales or operations together with proper reporting. A fully custom ERP, a C&F or logistics platform, or a multi-warehouse or production system built from scratch starts from 3,00,000 BDT, scoped honestly to your operation. Payment is always 50% advance and 50% on launch — bKash, Nagad or bank transfer.
That is the first thing I work out with you, and I will tell you straight even when the answer costs me the job. If your workflow is ordinary enough that an existing product fits, buy that and save your money — there is no sense paying to rebuild it. You need custom when the process that makes you money is the part no off-the-shelf tool understands: clearing and forwarding, production batches, a bonded warehouse, a distributor credit cycle. In Chattogram that is common, because trade and manufacturing run on workflows foreign software has never heard of. If a ready-made tool fits, I will point you to it.
Yes — this is one of the most common briefs I get from Chattogram. I can build consignment and clearing trackers, multi-warehouse inventory, delivery-order and document workflows, demurrage and deadline alerts, and credit and collection tracking for distributors. I start by mapping your exact clearing or logistics workflow at the port, then design software around it. The goal is to replace the dozen WhatsApp groups and the master Excel sheet with one system your clearing desk and warehouse team genuinely trust.
That is exactly what I design for, and it is where most software quietly fails. It ships with Bangla labels where they help, a layout built for the mid-range Android your warehouse keeper and field reps carry, and screens stripped to the few things each role needs — not a manager's dashboard forced onto a junior at the clearing desk. Software gets abandoned when it is built for the buyer instead of the user. I build for the person opening it every morning, which is why it stays in use instead of everyone drifting back to spreadsheets within a month.
Often, yes — and that is usually cheaper than a full rebuild, so I will look at it honestly before quoting. Sometimes the right move is a custom module or admin panel that sits alongside your existing tool and handles the part it gets wrong, from 50,000 BDT. Sometimes the existing system is so far from your workflow that patching it costs more than replacing it, and I will say so plainly. Either way I scope it around what you already have, not around selling you the biggest possible project.
A focused tool from 50,000 BDT is usually a few weeks; a fuller business system or a custom ERP from 3,00,000 BDT is scoped properly once I understand your workflow, and you get an honest timeline before paying anything. For projects from 90,000 BDT I am happy to come to your office in Agrabad, GEC, Khulshi, Nasirabad or the port area for the discovery session and the final sign-off. For everything in between, WhatsApp and Google Meet save us both a day in Chattogram traffic — and one senior operator does not need weekly status meetings to know exactly where your project stands.
