Software Development
A custom software development company builds the software you cannot buy off the shelf. As a Dhaka-based company, we build it for international companies. We deliver web applications for your staff, products your customers pay for and enterprise systems that join finance, sales and operations. Engineers, a quality assurance (QA) lead and a project manager build, test and deploy it in your own cloud. Each step has a fixed price, and you see working software every two weeks, not slides.
Every step is a place to stop, with no lock-in. We begin with the workflow that costs you the most hours or errors today. We map its users, data and connected systems, define the smallest release that removes the pain, and cost every route to it in your own numbers.
You get a written verdict — a web application, a product build, an enterprise system, a modernization of what you have or nothing yet. When no build pays for itself, the verdict says so.

What is included in custom software development services?
Custom software development services cover six kinds of work. We build web applications with user experience (UX) design, products that start as a minimum viable product (MVP) and enterprise systems across departments. We also modernize existing code, integrate your customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and maintain everything we ship.
Web application development
Browser-based tools for your own staff: approvals, portals, dashboards and back-office workflows, built with UX, APIs, testing and deployment included.
Software product development
Products your customers pay for: discovery, MVP, accounts and billing, release process and the roadmap that follows the first paying users.
Enterprise application systems
Systems that join finance, sales and operations under one data model, with roles, audit trails and the integrations each department already depends on.
Legacy software modernization
The custom code you already run, refactored, migrated and connected in stages, so nothing stops while it improves.
Integration between systems
APIs and connectors between your CRM, ERP, payments and the software we build, with the data contracts written down and tested.
Maintenance and support
A monthly plan for fixes, small features, monitoring, security patches and dependency updates, run by a named engineer who knows your code.
Not included: Cloud, domain and third-party licence costs, bought in your name · native mobile apps, hardware and firmware · content, brand design and marketing sites · work outside the agreed scope, priced first as a change request.
Does custom software development include enterprise application systems?
Yes: enterprise application development is the part of custom software where several departments and four or more systems share one data model. Finance, sales, operations and human resources (HR) then read the same customer, order and employee records. We release it one department at a time, and each release is in use before the next starts.
ERP and finance systems
Orders, invoices, approvals and ledgers in one system, with roles, audit trails and the exports your accountants accept.
CRM and customer portals
Accounts, cases and contracts for your teams, plus a portal where customers see the same records you do.
Workflow and approval systems
Multi-step approvals with rules, deadlines and escalation, replacing the email chains and shared spreadsheets that hold them today.
Integration and reporting layers
Connectors to the systems you keep, one reporting model on top, so every department’s numbers come from one source.
What does a custom software pilot look like, step by step?
A custom software pilot is five logged steps. Every item in the log links to its user story, its commit and its test result. The example below is an internal approvals web app; a customer portal or a product MVP runs through the same five steps. Yellow marks user acceptance testing (UAT), where a person signs.
The glossary of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) states what traceability means: “Discernible association among two or more logical entities, such as requirements, system elements, verifications, or tasks.” The pilot log keeps that association for every story, commit and test result.

How do custom software development services work, from scope to Managed Ops?
Our custom software development services run in five steps. A free scoping call comes first, then a two-week diagnostic maps the workflow, data and systems and prices the pilot. A six-to-eight-week pilot ships one workflow end to end. Production follows in staged releases with integrations and training, then Managed Ops. You can stop after any written result.
The 40/20/40 rule in software engineering is a rule of thumb: about 40% of the effort goes to analysis and design, 20% to coding and 40% to testing. Our steps keep that weight at both ends. The diagnostic settles the design before any code, and every change runs through a continuous integration (CI) pipeline and tests until your users sign.

Managed Ops A named engineer handles fixes, small features, monitoring, security patches and dependency updates, with a review call each month. Stop any month and keep everything.
Who builds your software, and with what?
You meet the named team on the first call: engineers who write the code, a QA lead who owns testing and signs off each release, and a project manager for the demos.
Communication Fortnightly demos, one shared channel, a written change log
Delivery Git repositories, CI pipeline, staging and production environments
QA Automated tests, manual test rounds, UAT sign-off before release
Hosting Your own cloud, domains and credentials, never ours

Which custom software do you need: a web application, a product, an enterprise system or a modernization?
Not every custom software need is the same build. One or two workflows for your own staff make a web application. Something customers pay for is a product. Several departments on one data model make an enterprise system, and old custom code that still runs the business calls for a modernization, not a rewrite. Five questions show which one fits.
1. What are you building?
2. Who will use it?
3. Does it exist today?
4. How many systems must it connect to?
5. When must the first release be live?
Which one do you need? Answer five questions.
A web application, piloted first
One or two workflows for your own staff, replacing spreadsheets or an off-the-shelf tool: a pilot ships the first workflow end to end in six to eight weeks.
A first estimate; the diagnostic confirms it.
How the verdict is decided
Old custom code exists → modernize what you have
Customers pay for it → a software product build
Several departments, or four or more systems → an enterprise application system
Everything else → a web application, piloted first
Why choose us as your custom software development company?
A custom software development company is measured by software its clients still run two years on, not by headcount. Buying licences is the default; owning the workflow is the alternative. We ship bespoke software in staged releases, priced in writing and run in your cloud. Personal data is handled under Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Without a staged process
!!!!!
- One big demo at the end, first seen when the invoice lands
- A team of 250 you never meet, a lead who rotates off
- Hourly bills that climb as the scope outgrows the proposal
- Your code in a vendor repository, locked once the contract ends

Is it safe to outsource custom software development?
Outsourcing custom software development offshore is safe when ownership, access and data handling are agreed in writing first. As a Bangladesh-based company, we put a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and a data processing agreement (DPA) in place before any data is shared. The intellectual property (IP) is assigned to you, and credentials return at handover. Reviewed By Eicra.com team
The NIST Secure Software Development Framework states: “Few software development life cycle (SDLC) models explicitly address software security in detail”. That is why reviews and tests sit inside every step here, not in one check before release.
Which custom software agreements are signed, and when?
NDA — mutual, and in place before we see one requirement, credential or line of code.
DPA — Article 28(3) GDPR processor terms, or your national equivalent, covering personal data in test and production.
Data transfers — the standard contractual clauses, or whichever transfer tool your law requires, signed before any personal data leaves.
Access — only the privilege each role needs, granted in your repositories and cloud; production secrets remain in your vault.
Certifications — we list a certification only once it is held, and this page claims none.
What custom software controls, IP and rework terms apply?
Your accounts From day one, the code, pipelines, environments and domains sit under your accounts; we host nothing ourselves.
Code ownership The contract assigns you all intellectual property; every third-party licence is listed, and no copyleft code enters without your approval.
Reviews No change reaches staging without a pull request, a passing automated test run and a review by a second engineer.
Personal data Test environments use masked or synthetic data; production data is touched only through your access controls and logged.
Rework No charge when a release fails the acceptance tests we agreed; anything new is quoted first as a change request.
What proof do you get before you pay for custom software development?
Before you pay for custom software development, you see it working. Three commitments are measured below, and a pilot must ship one working workflow before production is quoted. The scoping call is free and takes 30 minutes. Named client results will appear here once clients approve them.

What do buyers ask about custom software development?
Buyers ask a custom software development company five questions before they commit: the cost, what such a company does, how to choose one, custom versus off-the-shelf, and how long the build takes. Each answer below matches the price cards, steps and terms set out above.
How much do custom software development services cost?
Custom software development with us is priced per outcome, not per hour. Every price is on the cards at the top: a two-week diagnostic, half credited to the pilot, then a fixed-price pilot, then production quoted in writing after the pilot.
What does a custom software development company do?
A custom software development company builds the software a business cannot buy ready-made. It maps the workflow and nearby systems, designs screens and a data model, writes and tests the code, deploys it to your cloud and keeps it running.
How do you choose a custom software development company?
Ask each firm to show one system it built that is still in daily use. Then ask how often you will see working software, who owns the code and cloud accounts, and what happens if the lead engineer leaves. Choose the firm that answers in writing.
Custom software or off-the-shelf: which one do we need?
Buy off the shelf when a product already does 80% of the job and your process can bend to it. Build custom when the workflow is what makes you money or per-user licences cost more than owning it. Tools that only need joining up suit workflow automation.
How long does custom software development take?
A first release takes eight to ten weeks: a two-week diagnostic, then a six-to-eight-week pilot. Production adds eight to sixteen weeks, depending on how many workflows and integrations you need, and ships in stages people use before the last one is built.
