Why Dhaka companies invest in software
With banks, MFS providers and garment buyers, businesses in Dhaka face growing pressure to digitise operations, serve customers online and integrate with partners.

Because Dhaka draws talent from University of Dhaka and BUET, many companies here run lean in-house teams and use NNT Software to add product engineering, QA, DevOps or AI skills on demand — with delivery scheduled around BST (UTC+6) working hours.

What Dhaka businesses need from software

Businesses here typically need secure onboarding, ledgers that reconcile to the cent, real-time payments and audit-ready reporting, and measure progress on onboarding completion rate, time to approve an application and fraud loss rate.
Garments in Dhaka
Garments companies typically need production planning, quality traceability, machine data and supplier collaboration, and measure progress on overall equipment effectiveness, scrap rate and order lead time.
Mobile financial services in Dhaka

Digital Wallet & E-Wallet App for Dhaka
A digital wallet app stores money or payment credentials so users can pay, transfer and top up from their phone. For Dhaka clients we usually begin with ledger & reconciliation (double-entry wallet ledger with audit trail) and kyc tiers, then add p2p & qr payments and top-ups & cash-out. Pricing is set as per your requirements and budget.
Remittance & Money Transfer App for Dhaka
A remittance app lets users send money abroad to bank accounts, mobile wallets or cash-pickup points. For Dhaka clients we usually begin with corridor engine (fees, FX margins and limits per corridor) and payout integrations, then add agent portal and aml & screening. Typical first release: 14–22 weeks.
Custom CRM & HRMS Software for Dhaka
Custom CRM and HRMS software fits your sales process and people operations exactly instead of paying per seat for generic tools. For Dhaka clients we usually begin with attendance & payroll (geo-attendance, leave and payroll exports) and performance, then add sales pipeline and automation. Typical first release: 8–14 weeks.
Remote DBA & Database Support Plans for Dhaka
Remote DBA support plans give you an expert database team on a monthly retainer. For Dhaka clients we usually begin with tuning (query and index optimisation) and backups, then add high availability and upgrades. Typical first release: Onboarding in 1–2 weeks.
