AutoProbaho

Solution · Custom ERP for Bangladesh

Custom ERP in Bangladesh, built by a development partner who knows your floor

You have decided a packaged system will not fit. Now the question is who builds your ERP — and how to make sure it does not become another half-finished project. AutoProbaho develops custom ERP systems in Bangladesh module by module: we sit with your store-keepers, accountants and supervisors, design screens in Bengali and English, and deliver working software in short increments you test with real data.

Custom ERP projects in Bangladesh fail for predictable reasons

The pattern is well known: a developer promises “full ERP” at a fixed price, collects a large advance, and delivers a system that looks like the demo but does not handle style-wise costing, godown transfers, dealer credit or Mushak forms. Requirements were gathered from the owner alone; the people who actually key in data were never asked. Six months in, staff have quietly returned to Excel and WhatsApp.

The other failure is the opposite: an endless build with no releases, growing scope and no one accountable for a go-live date. Both are avoidable with the right partner, a phased plan and a habit of shipping the first module early.

Who this is for

  • Factories, garments and textile mills, distributors and trading houses in Dhaka, Gazipur, Narayanganj, Chattogram and beyond
  • Owners who have outgrown Excel and Tally, or who abandoned a packaged ERP that did not fit
  • Companies with unusual processes — sub-contracting, bonded warehouses, dealer credit networks, multi-unit groups
  • Management teams that want to own the system and data instead of paying per user every year

Current pain points

  • Requirements gathered from the top only

    The owner describes the process; the store-keeper works differently. The system fits neither.

  • Big-bang delivery

    Nothing usable for months, then a rushed go-live with untested data and untrained staff.

  • No local integrations

    bKash receipts, Tally ledgers, attendance devices and Daraz orders still need manual bridging.

  • Screens built for a desktop nobody has

    Floor and depot staff have a phone and intermittent power, not a workstation.

  • The developer disappears

    No documentation, no source access, no support contract — every change depends on one person.

What AutoProbaho builds

  1. A phased custom ERP

    First module live in weeks, not months; inventory, purchasing, sales, production, finance and HR added in the order that matters to you.

  2. Screens designed with your staff

  4. Local integrations from day one

    bKash, Nagad, SSLCommerz, Tally, attendance devices, WhatsApp Business, Daraz and Google Workspace via APIs and n8n.

  5. Ownership and continuity

    Process audit

    We map how work actually flows in your factory, godown and office — with the people who do it — and agree the first module.

    Design & prototype

    Clickable Bengali/English screens and a data model you review before code is written.

  3. 03

    Build in phases

    Two-week increments; you test each module with real data as it lands.

  4. 04

    Migrate & train

    Excel, Tally and paper registers are cleaned and imported; every role is trained hands-on in their language.

  5. 05

    Go-live & support

    Staged rollout, hypercare, then ongoing support and enhancement from a team in Dhaka.

Expected business outcomes

  • A system that matches the floor

    Because it was designed with the people who use it, not only for the people who bought it.

  • Early value

    The first module pays for itself while later modules are still being built.

  • One source of truth

    Stock, orders, collections and VAT come from the same records, entered once.

  • Predictable cost

    Fixed quote per phase, no per-user licences, no surprise upgrade fees.

Security & ownership

  • You own the code and the data

    Source access, documented architecture and infrastructure in your own cloud account or on your own server.

  • Access control

    Role- and field-level permissions, maker–checker approvals, 2FA for administrators, audit logs on every record.

  • Backups & continuity

    Automated encrypted backups, tested restores and a written runbook.

Frequently asked questions

A first module — usually inventory or sales — is typically live within 8–12 weeks. A full multi-module ERP is delivered in phases over several months, so you see value early instead of waiting for a big-bang launch.
