Business automation in Bangladesh: remove the re-typing between your tools

Most Bangladeshi companies already have software — Tally, a web shop, Google Sheets, a courier panel, WhatsApp. What they lack is the glue. Orders are copied from Daraz into Excel, bKash statements are matched by eye, approvals wait for a phone call, and the daily report is typed by hand at 9 pm. AutoProbaho automates these workflows with n8n, APIs and small custom services, so information moves on its own and your team handles exceptions, not routine.

The work between the systems is done by people

A growing business in Dhaka or Chattogram typically employs two or three people whose main job is moving data: copying orders from a marketplace into a sheet, forwarding purchase requests on WhatsApp for approval, typing courier tracking numbers into messages, and reconciling mobile-money receipts against invoices. None of this is skilled work, all of it is error-prone, and it stops the moment that person is absent.

Owners hear about “automation” but assume it means an expensive new system. In practice, most of the value comes from connecting what you already run — with reliable, monitored workflows that retry on failure and tell someone when something needs a human.

Who this is for

  • SMEs in Dhaka, Chattogram, Gazipur and Narayanganj that run on a mix of Excel, Tally, WhatsApp and web tools
  • E-commerce and F-commerce sellers handling orders from Daraz, Shopify, WooCommerce and Facebook
  • Distributors, agencies and service firms with approval chains and daily reporting
  • Operations managers who want fewer manual hand-offs without replacing every system

Current pain points

  • Copy-paste between tools

    Orders, receipts and stock figures are re-typed across sheets, accounting and messages every day.

  • Approvals stuck in chat

    Purchase and leave requests are approved on WhatsApp — untraceable and easy to miss.

  • Manual reconciliation

    bKash, Nagad and bank statements are matched to invoices by hand at month-end.

  • Customers chase for updates

    Order confirmations and delivery status are sent only when someone remembers.

  • Reports depend on one person

    The daily sales or stock summary exists only if a specific employee is at their desk.

Frequently asked questions

Usually not. Automation connects Tally, sheets, web shops and messaging tools you already use. We only recommend a new system when the current one cannot expose the data.
