What Kolkata teams need

Many Kolkata businesses are family-run and generational, with processes that have been refined over decades. Digitisation projects here succeed when they respect those processes and the people who run them, rather than trying to replace both at once.

More about the Kolkata market

Its port system, one of the oldest in the country, still drives a large logistics and trading economy. The city is home to long-established FMCG, engineering and banking institutions, remains central to India's tea trade, and hosts a growing IT workforce in Salt Lake Sector V and New Town.

Technologies we use

Technologies behind our custom software.

Business software has to be dependable for years, so we favour proven, well-supported technology: TypeScript or Python services, PostgreSQL, message queues for anything that must not be lost, and web front ends that run on any office machine. Integrations with the ERP, accounting and identity systems you already use are designed in from the start, not added later.

For Kolkata projects we typically host on AWS Mumbai or Hyderabad, with CDN edges in eastern India for user-facing pages, and integrate with UPI and Razorpay; Tally and GST e-way bills; Customs and ICEGATE documentation; and WhatsApp Business API.

Our development process

Turning ideas into custom software that work.

A structured, agile process that keeps your software development project on time, on budget and visible at every stage.

01

Process Discovery

We sit with the people doing the work and map how it actually happens, including the informal steps that never made it into the SOP.

Deliverables: Process maps, requirement specification, integration inventory

02

Solution Design

Data model, roles, workflows and integrations designed and reviewed with you, with a phased rollout plan so one department goes live first.

Deliverables: Architecture document, data model, UI prototypes, phase plan

03

Iterative Development

Built in sprints with demos to the people who will use it, so feedback arrives while it is still cheap to act on.

Deliverables: Sprint releases on staging, user feedback log

04

Integration & Data Migration

Connections to ERP, accounting and identity systems, plus migration of historical data with reconciliation reports that prove nothing was lost.

Deliverables: Integration tests, migration and reconciliation reports

05

Training & Rollout

Role-based training, a supported parallel-running period and a go-live checklist, one department or site at a time.

Deliverables: Training material, user guides, go-live sign-off

06

Support & Enhancement

Monitoring, fixes, upgrades and new modules on an agreed plan, with documentation kept current so you are never dependent on one person.

Deliverables: SLA-backed support, release notes, updated documentation

Success stories

Products our team has shipped.

Real products, live today, built end to end by the same engineers who would work on your Kolkata project.

Working together

Working with Kolkata clients.

Hours and overlap

Same timezone, so there are no overnight hand-offs, and we are about two hours away by air when an in-person session is worth it.

Meetings and workshops

Remote for daily work, with visits to Kolkata for process mapping at warehouses, offices and estates when the project calls for it.

Regulation and data

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act applies to personal data, so we build consent capture, purpose limits and deletion paths in from the start. Logistics and trade clients also need GST e-way bills, e-invoicing and customs documentation handled correctly.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

About software development in Kolkata, and about working with Drema.

Do you have a team in Kolkata?

We work with Kolkata clients through one named lead who is your point of contact from kickoff to handover, backed by the same engineering team on every project.

Can custom software work with the systems Kolkata businesses already run?

That is usually the point of building it. We integrate with the ERP, accounting and CRM you already use rather than replacing them, and connect to local rails such as UPI and Razorpay; Tally and GST e-way bills; and Customs and ICEGATE documentation. We also design for the local rules from day one: India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act applies to personal data, so we build consent capture, purpose limits and deletion paths in from the start. Logistics and trade clients also need GST e-way bills, e-invoicing and customs documentation handled correctly.

How long does software development take for a Kolkata business?

We do not start with a two-year programme. The first department or process is usually live in ten to fourteen weeks, running on real data, and further modules follow on a rolling plan. Integrations and data migration are the parts that most affect timeline, so we assess them in discovery.

Which Kolkata industries do you build custom software for?

Most often Logistics & Supply Chain, Retail, Banking and Agriculture, because that is where Kolkata's economy is concentrated. We are not limited to those sectors — the engineering transfers — but that is where we can bring the most relevant experience to a first conversation.

Which local systems can you integrate with?

Most Kolkata projects touch UPI and Razorpay; Tally and GST e-way bills; Customs and ICEGATE documentation; and WhatsApp Business API. We integrate with what your customers and staff already use, and we check API access and commercial terms for each before committing to a timeline.

Should we build custom software or buy a product?

Buy where your process is genuinely standard — accounting, payroll, email. Build where the process is a source of competitive advantage or where no product fits without workarounds that cost more than the licence. We will tell you when buying is the better answer, including when it means we do less work.

How do you handle integration with our existing systems?

Through whatever interface the system exposes — API, database replica, file exchange or message queue — with an integration layer that isolates your new system from their quirks. We assess the integration surface during scoping because it is a common source of overrun.

Can you meet our security and compliance requirements?

We build with SSO, role-based access, encryption, audit logging and least-privilege as standard, and we work with your security team's requirements directly. Tell us the framework you are held to and we will design against it.

What about the users who resist the change?

Involving them early is the only approach that works. When people who do the job daily shape the design, adoption stops being enforcement. Phased rollout with parallel running also removes the fear of a hard cutover.

How long does an enterprise project take?

First department live in three to five months is a realistic target for a well-scoped process. We deliberately avoid the pattern where nothing is usable for two years, because requirements drift faster than that.

Who owns the code?

You do, entirely, in your repositories. We also document the system and train your team so continuing without us is a genuine option rather than a theoretical one.
