E-Commerce Challenges in Bangladesh & Odoo Solutions

What are the challenges faced by eCommerce businesses in Bangladesh, and how can Odoo provide effective solutions to address these challenges


E-commerce in Bangladesh has been growing rapidly, but it still faces several key challenges. Below is a summary of the major e-commerce challenges in Bangladesh, and how Odoo — an all-in-one business management software — can offer solutions to these problems:

 

Key E-commerce Challenges in Bangladesh

1. Poor Logistics and Delivery Infrastructure

  • Problem: Lack of efficient last-mile delivery systems, especially in rural areas.
  • Impact: Delays, increased costs, and unsatisfied customers.

2. Lack of Trust & Online Payment Adoption

  • Problem: Many consumers still prefer Cash on Delivery (COD) due to fraud concerns.
  • Impact: Slower growth in digital transactions and risk of revenue leakage.

3. Weak Integration Among Business Operations

  • Problem: Disconnected inventory, accounting, CRM, and sales systems.
  • Impact: Inefficiency, data duplication, and difficulty in scaling operations.

4. Regulatory & Taxation Issues

  • Problem: Ambiguous and changing e-commerce regulations and import duties.
  • Impact: Difficulty in compliance and financial unpredictability.

5. Limited Technical Knowledge and Skilled Workforce

  • Problem: SMEs often lack in-house tech expertise.
  • Impact: Poor website maintenance, lack of scalability, and bad user experience.
