Business problem

Bangladeshi schools, madrasahs, and coaching centres still run on paper registers, scattered Excel sheets, and late fee chasing. Attendance is slow and easy to game. Exam results take days to publish. Guardians only hear about absences or dues when someone remembers to call. Imported school software ignores bKash/Nagad, Bangla SMS, and local institutional structures - so offices stay stuck in manual work while money leaks through delayed collections.

What was at stake

• Every missed fee collection is cash that never reaches the institution

• Attendance fraud and late marksheets erode trust with guardians and boards

• Staff burn hours on register copying instead of teaching and counseling

• Generic foreign SaaS fails on local payments, language, and org shape

How I approached it

I treated this as a local-market operations product first, and a SaaS business second. The product had to win the school office on day one: biometric/ID attendance that parents actually hear about, fee flows that match how people pay in Bangladesh, exam workflows staff already understand, and multi-tenant isolation so each institution feels like its own system. Growth follows when the daily ops loop is faster and more trustworthy than paper.

System shape

• Multi-tenant school OS with per-institution data boundaries and branding

• Admissions, student records, classes, and academic year lifecycle

• Biometric / ID attendance with Bangla guardian SMS on absence

• Fee structures plus bKash / Nagad / Rocket collection paths

• Exams, marksheets, payroll, ID cards, and institution microsites

What it unlocks

OurCampusBD is a live multi-tenant school OS used day to day by institutions that previously lived in registers and Excel. Staff get speed and trust. Guardians get timely Bangla updates. Institutions get cashflow clarity instead of register chaos - and the product already produces recurring revenue instead of a one-off install fee.

• 22+ institutions running the system in daily operations

• Recurring revenue already past ৳1 lakh

• Fee collection and attendance loops that used to take hours now run continuously

• Guardians receive Bangla SMS when it matters - not when someone remembers to call

How I can help you

If you need an operations product for a local market - payments that people actually use, notifications in the right language, and workflows staff will adopt - I design and ship the full system, then grow it as a durable SaaS business.
