apartmentCompany Profile

A software factory in Dhaka, since 2011

Software Lighthouse designs, builds and runs business software. We take an idea to a finished product in clear milestones, and we stay to keep it running as it grows. Our clients range from garment exporters and logistics companies to UK care providers and conservation groups.

We listen first, break the work into visible milestones, and keep the product aligned with the client's goal at every step. Most of our team started with us as fresh graduates and grew into professional engineers under hands-on mentoring.
