You do not hire a custom software development expert in Chittagong just to build an app. You hire one to stop running your business on a spreadsheet that breaks every month-end.
I am RH Fardin, a senior solo expert building custom software for Chattogram firms that outgrew Excel, WhatsApp groups and a register book. Think C&F firms tracking shipments by hand and Agrabad importers matching LCs in spreadsheets. Think GEC retailers losing stock counts, and clinics where one person holds it all in their head. I plan, design, build and ship it myself, with no agency or junior. Prices start at 50,000 BDT: 50% in advance, 50% on launch. You approve the plan and screens before any code is written.

Most Chattogram owners who message a custom software development expert in Chittagong did not wake up wanting software. They woke up because something broke. A C&F firm near the port lost a container's paper trail. It was spread across four WhatsApp groups and an Excel file that three people edited at once.
An importer near Agrabad spent two days matching an LC. The figures lived in one accountant's head and a workbook only she understood. A GEC retailer found that the shop's stock count and the real shelf had not matched for a month. That is the real starting point. You do not need "an app." You need the daily mess to stop costing you money and sleep.
Custom software development in Chittagong, done right, starts with me learning how your business really runs. It does not start with a feature list.
Here is what makes Chattogram different. Most work in this city is trade and logistics. That means import, export, freight forwarding, C&F, indenting, bonded warehousing, commodity supply and light manufacturing that feeds the port. These processes are real and specific. They rarely fit any ready-made foreign SaaS.
Your shipment steps and your LC and duty stages are your own. So is the way your delivery men confirm a drop on a cheap Android over patchy 4G near the port gate. None of that comes in a box from abroad. Local BD products are often generic accounting or POS tools. They force you to bend your business to their forms.
Custom means the software bends to you. It is built around your stages, your terms and your bKash and Nagad matching. It even builds the report your owner actually reads on Friday.
When you hire me, you are not hiring an agency. There, a salesman wins the work and a junior you never meet writes the code. With me, I do it all. I handle discovery, workflow mapping, database design, Figma screens, backend, front-end and testing. I am also the one who answers WhatsApp at 8pm when a delivery man says the confirm button is broken. One senior expert, about five years of building for Bangladeshi businesses, one chat thread for the whole project.
My prices are honest and fixed up front, the same for Chattogram or Chittagong. 50,000 BDT buys a focused tool for one workflow, like an inventory tracker or a job and quote system. 90,000 BDT buys a multi-module system with users, roles and reports. 1,50,000 BDT links several workflows with dashboards and bKash or Nagad matching. Fully custom platforms start from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is always 50% in advance and 50% on launch. You approve the plan and screens first, so the invoice never doubles.
Here are six things a Chattogram business needs from custom software. I include all six from the 50,000 BDT tier. They are not features dangled to push you into a bigger contract.
First, I map how your firm really moves a shipment, an order or an invoice. Only then do I design a screen. The software fits your steps. You never rebuild your business around someone else's tool.
Your staff and delivery men use low-end phones on patchy 4G near the port, not office fibre. I build screens that stay fast and easy there. So the system gets used instead of dropped.
The person who maps your workflow is the same person who writes the billing logic. He also fixes the bug at month-end. No salesman-to-junior handoff that loses how your business truly works.
Payments and matching are built around how Chattogram really collects money. That means mobile wallets, cash on delivery and bank transfer. Your numbers match reality, instead of fighting a foreign template.
At handover you get the full source code and your data. It is not a locked black box that holds you hostage on a monthly fee. The system is yours to keep, move or extend whenever you choose.
No code starts until you sign off the plan and screens in Figma. If it does not match how your business runs, we fix the design first. You never pay the second half for a build you did not approve.
Most Chattogram owners I talk to are stuck between three bad options. Off-the-shelf software is cheap to start. But it forces your trade or logistics business into someone else's forms. Then your real workflow stops fitting. Maybe it is an LC stage, a part-shipment, a duty change or a bKash match. Soon you are back to a spreadsheet bolted on the side.
A Dhaka software house will quote you several lakh and put a junior on the build. They will not give a senior to a Bangladesh-price job. And the spreadsheet you limp along on works until the one person who knows it goes on leave. Or a formula breaks quietly, and you only notice when the stock count or LC figure is wrong. None of these is clearly right. That is why owners freeze and keep limping for another year.
Here is my honest rule, even when it loses me the job. If a clean off-the-shelf tool truly fits your workflow, buy it. I will tell you so for free. You only need custom software when your process is what makes you money and no boxed product respects it. That could be a shipment tracker built on your stages, or a billing and inventory system that speaks your terms and matches your wallets. Or an internal tool that gets the business out of one person's head and the WhatsApp groups.
That is the lane I work in. I am one senior expert who has shipped this kind of system before. I map your workflow before I quote and lock the price, from 50,000 BDT for a focused tool. I write nothing until you approve the screens. You get software that fits, source code you own, and one person who answers when it matters. Custom software development in Chittagong should mean exactly that. Not a black box and a junior you never meet.

Straight answers to what Chattogram owners ask me in their first WhatsApp message about custom software.
It depends on the workflow, but here are real starting prices. 50,000 BDT buys a focused tool for one workflow, like an inventory tracker or a job and quote system. 90,000 BDT buys a multi-module system with users, roles and reports. 1,50,000 BDT links several workflows with dashboards and bKash or Nagad matching. Fully custom platforms start from 3,00,000 BDT. You always pay 50% in advance and 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. I give a fixed quote after mapping your workflow.
If an off-the-shelf tool truly fits how you work, buy it. I will tell you that for free and not sell you custom you do not need. The problem in Chattogram is that most boxed products are generic accounting or POS tools. They do not respect a real trade or logistics workflow. Once your LC stage, part-shipment, duty step or bKash match does not fit their forms, a spreadsheet creeps back in. Custom is worth it when your process makes you money and no product respects it.
You can. But for a Chattogram business it is usually too pricey for the scope you need. A Dhaka house will not put a senior on a Bangladesh-price job. They show you a senior at the pitch, then a junior does the work. So the person who finally learns your shipment workflow is gone when a billing rule fails. With me, one senior owns the scope, screens and code. You get my WhatsApp number from day one, with no agency overhead on your bill.
Yes. That is a design rule from day one, not an afterthought. Your staff, your shop counter and your delivery men around the port and GEC use low-end Androids and patchy 4G, not office fibre. I build screens to stay fast and easy in exactly those conditions. If your team finds software slow or fiddly, they drop it and go back to the register book. The goal is a system people use every day, not a demo that only runs well in your office.
You own it. At handover you get the full source code and all your data. There is no locked black box and no required monthly fee to keep your own system running. I do not hold a Chattogram firm hostage on a retainer for software it already paid for. If you want me on call later for changes and new modules, that is your choice. It is never a trap in the contract. The system is yours to keep, move or extend whenever you like.
Yes, and for most Chattogram businesses I recommend it. I build the software around how you really collect money: bKash, Nagad, cash on delivery and bank transfer. It matches payments, so your reported numbers equal what really came in. A foreign template that assumes card payments cannot do that. If you already use an accounting tool or another system, the new software can export to it or connect through its API. Then you stop typing the same figures in two places.
