Verdict
Choose custom when differentiation is operational — multi-branch inventory, subcontract WIP, van sales, or export documentation are daily realities.
Bangladesh operations often need VAT patterns, branch rollups, distributor credit, and integrations local SaaS suites handle poorly. Custom ERP encodes your workflow; off-the-shelf trades fit for speed.
| Factor | Without ERP | With ERP |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow fit | Generic templates | Your SOPs encoded |
| Integrations | Marketplace plugins | APIs you control |
| Bangladesh context | Often US-centric | VAT, branches, local payments |
| Ownership | Subscription lock-in | Your data model & roadmap |
