The Cox’s Bazar Chamber of Commerce and Industries (CBCCI), established in 1985, is one of Bangladesh’s most prominent trade bodies, representing a diverse network of businesses and entrepreneurs from one of the country’s fastest-growing coastal regions. As an ‘A’-class member of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI), CBCCI holds significant influence at the national level, advocating for business-friendly policies and supporting the interests of its members. Beyond advocacy, the Chamber serves as a central platform for networking, trade facilitation, and enterprise development, reinforcing Cox’s Bazar’s position as a vital hub for commerce and investment.

Prior to partnering with Elsecode, CBCCI encountered several operational barriers:

• Membership applications, renewals, and certificate generation were handled manually, creating delays and administrative inefficiencies.
• The Chamber lacked a modern online presence to share news, events, and services effectively with its members.
• Members did not have access to mobile-friendly solutions, limiting real-time engagement and communication.
• There was no structured job portal to connect employers with job seekers, resulting in missed opportunities for employment facilitation.

To address these challenges, CBCCI signed a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Elsecode LLC, appointing the company as its official technology partner. With a clear objective of driving digital transformation through advanced web platforms, mobile applications, and employment facilitation systems, Elsecode developed a comprehensive digital ecosystem that not only addressed CBCCI’s immediate priorities but also established a strong foundation for sustainable long-term growth.

1. Website Development & Management

• Responsive, modern website with automated membership application and renewal system.
• Digital and printable membership certificate generation.
• Integrated news, events, and updates portal.

2. Mobile Application (Android & iOS)

• Synchronized with the website for seamless experience.
• Push notifications and real-time updates.
• Scalable design to accommodate future feature expansions.

3. Job Portal for Employment Facilitation

• End-to-end recruitment platform enabling job seekers and employers to connect.
• Features included role-based registration, CV uploads, advanced job filtering, and application tracking.
• Employer dashboards with applicant management and hiring workflows.

4. Continuous Innovation & Support

• Ongoing consultancy for digital process automation.
• Integration of emerging technologies to strengthen member services.
• Dedicated maintenance, bug fixes, and regular security updates.
• Training for CBCCI staff to ensure long-term sustainability.

Through this five-year partnership, CBCCI is positioned to achieve several transformative outcomes:

• Enhanced digital presence — A responsive website and synchronized mobile application will expand CBCCI’s visibility and make services more accessible to members.
• Streamlined member services — Automated systems for applications, renewals, and certificates will reduce administrative workload and improve efficiency.
• Employment facilitation — A dedicated job portal will create a structured platform for employers and job seekers, supporting local talent and business growth.
• Sustainable digital growth — Continuous consultancy, support, and feature development will equip CBCCI to adapt to evolving member needs in a digital-first economy.

Through its strategic partnership with CBCCI, Elsecode is set to deliver a transformational digital ecosystem that goes beyond technology adoption — it will empower an entire business community.

By combining web, mobile, and employment facilitation platforms under one umbrella, CBCCI will be better equipped to serve its members, attract talent, and strengthen its role in Bangladesh’s digital economy.

Elsecode is proud to be CBCCI’s trusted technology partner for the next five years, driving innovation and sustainable digital growth.
