01 — Local economy
Business in Chattogram
Chittagong Port, at the mouth of the Karnaphuli River, carries most of Bangladesh's seaborne trade, and freight forwarders, clearing agents and container depots line the roads to it. North of the city the Sitakunda ship-breaking yards supply scrap to steel re-rollers such as BSRM and KSRM, garment factories run in the Chittagong and Karnaphuli export zones, and Khatunganj market trades edible oil, sugar, spices and pulses wholesale.
Also known as Chittagong and Chottogram.
Where software helps: Commodity importers in Khatunganj and steel re-rollers fed by Sitakunda scrap juggle LC margins, port demurrage and a landed cost per tonne that changes with every exchange-rate and freight move.
ERP and AI for logistics, textile and steel businesses in Chattogram
What we would build first for the industries Chattogram is known for.
Logistics & ports
ERP
Shipment and job costing, warehouse management with bin locations, customs and freight documentation, and billing that captures every accessorial charge.
AI agent
A document agent that reads bills of lading, commercial invoices and packing lists, extracts the data and pre-fills customs and booking forms for review.
Style, colour and size matrices; yarn-to-fabric-to-garment process tracking across job-workers; and order-wise costing that includes dyeing, printing and embroidery charges.
AI agent
An agent that reads buyer tech packs and purchase orders, builds the costing sheet and material requirement, and flags anything missing before sampling starts.
Stock by grade, size, thickness and warehouse; weight-based pricing with cutting and loading charges; part-load dispatch; and credit limits checked before an order is confirmed. This is the problem our own SteelERP product was built to solve.
AI agent
A quoting agent that reads enquiries from WhatsApp or email (“20 tonnes TMT 12 mm, delivery Thursday”), checks free stock and the day's rate, and drafts the quotation for a salesperson to send.

05 — FAQ
Custom software in Chattogram: common questions
Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Chattogram?
Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Chattogram; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.
How do time zones work between Chattogram and Jaipur?
Jaipur is 30 min behind Chattogram all year. A 09:00 start there is 08:30 in Jaipur. Standard 09:00–18:00 office days overlap by 8 h 30 min, which is enough for live calls, demos and same-day answers.
Can your AI agents talk to customers in Bengali, Chittagonian and English?
For Bengali and English, yes: current language models handle them well, including mixed-language messages. Support for Chittagonian is more limited, so we test with real customer messages before committing to it, and route anything the agent is unsure about to your team.
What would a first project look like for a logistics business?
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For logistics & ports that is often job & shipment costing and warehouse management (bins, put-away, picking). It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
