RESOURCE HUB - 2018 < < GEO CHEM READY TO LAUNCH SERVICES IN BANGLADESH < < STAGE ERP SETS UP OFFICE IN BANGLADESH MARKET April 2018 With the Bangladesh industry growing by leaps and bounds, scope for the service industry to support this growth in tune with global norms is also growing. Many international brands in the Testing, Inspection & Certification (TIC) business have already found success in the country, but the gap in terms of industry need is still wide. Realising this as an opportunity, Geo Chem Consumer Product Services is gearing up to enter the market with a complete package of solutions and services that will provide a unique customer experience to the industry. The package of services will also include audits, waste management and safety solutions. April 2018 The upfront approach to business that companies in Bangladesh have, is driving many technology providers to offer solutions that not only add value to the production processes but also to the running of the factories more effectively, and with better real time control. One such company that is aggressively targeting the country with its customised ERP solutions, is Ecotech Software, owner of the hugely popular STAGE ERP. The company has been working in Bangladesh for sometime now and sensing the huge opportunities that exist as more and more factories are exploring options, an office is being set up in Dhaka to better service the customers. The company is in the final stages of implementing an end-to-end solution for knit composite at Arabi Fashion, a part of the Bengal Hurricane Group. << APS Velu Director – Business Development, Ecotech Software Manish Kumar Global Executive Vice President, Geo Chem “We are a company that is from South Asia and the basic temperament of people in these countries is very similar. So while the West- ern companies may not empathise with local concerns, Geo Chem understands and makes effort to find solutions that are in synergy with the mindset of the region… Our vision is clear and we are ready for all challenges…” 48 Apparel Online Bangladesh | January 2019 | www.apparelresources.com “The project will be our flagship for the country as we have done a lot of customisation and in the process have understood the very specific needs of the Bangladesh industry, which are different from other countries… One of the biggest reasons for our success has been our ability to work closely with the customers to give them an ERP system that meets every op- erational and busi- ness need.”
