Bridging Gaps in NGO HR Systems with Smart Automation

Social Upliftment Society (SUS)

The Social Upliftment Society (SUS), established in 1999, is a leading NGO in Bangladesh dedicated to driving social progress and reducing socio-economic disparities. Through microcredit programs, social development projects, and investment initiatives, SUS empowers low-income communities, fosters financial independence, and promotes sustainable economic growth. With its ongoing commitment to social transformation, the organization continues to make a meaningful and lasting impact on Bangladesh’s socio-economic landscape.

Project Requirements:

The client requires a custom HRM software featuring a centralized employee database, attendance and shift management, leave and overtime tracking, and automated payroll with bank/MFS integration. Essential modules include recruitment, onboarding, performance evaluation, and training support. A mobile app enables employees to apply for leave, view pay slips, and receive notifications. The system must support fingerprint/face recognition, GPS attendance, dashboards, customizable workflows, secure data, role-based access, multi-location support, and deliver a fast, reliable, and user-friendly experience.

Core business objective?

The core objective of SUS is to transform Bangladesh’s NGO sector by creating meaningful social impact. With poverty and unemployment being two of the greatest challenges of the 21st century, SUS is committed to empowering communities through microcredit, social enterprises, and sustainable development initiatives. Their mission is to work toward a future with zero poverty in Bangladesh, fostering economic self-reliance and improving the quality of life for marginalized populations nationwide.
