We have various... if you could kindly give your own introductions. I am saying, Rafiqul Islam Raju, if you could give your introduction.

In your introduction, if you mention which sector you work in and your expertise, that would be good. We will understand in which areas you can work with us.

Yes, Assalamu Alaikum. I am Rakibul Islam Raju. I am basically working here as a DBA. I have experience with databases like Oracle, Postgres, MySQL. And I have a decent knowledge of Linux and virtualization.

Okay. So you are... that means you... okay, understand. Rasel bhai, please, if you could give your introduction to everyone.

Assalamu Alaikum. I am Rasel Ibne Bashar. I have been with JMI Group for almost thirteen years. I am currently in charge of the IT department of JMI Group. I look after the entire IT department. I have a team for different locations. With everyone's help, I look after the department.

Okay. Thank you. Salauddin.

Okay, thank you. Assalamu Alaikum everyone. I am Salauddin Biplob. I am working at CRI with Dr. Shah Siddique. I am working as a manager. Besides that, I am working on visualization.

Okay. Zaker Khan.

Assalamu Alaikum. I am Zakir. I have been with CRI for a long time. I work under our Dr. Sir. So, I have also been made a team lead here. I have expertise in both front-end and back-end, in Python and Laravel, and in databases like MySQL and Postgres.

Thank you.

Okay. Sayeed bhai, if you could kindly give your introduction to everyone.

Yes, Assalamu Alaikum. I am Syed Ariful Islam. I am the CTO of Mononsoft, and I am working here as a core solution architect for a large-scale ERP development.

Thank you. Thank you. Sayeed bhai already mentioned about me. Thank you, Sayeed bhai. Let me give some more information about Sayeed bhai. Sayeed bhai has previously worked in many places, in big companies, and he has studied Mathematics at Dhaka University. So, his depth of knowledge is huge. And what is seen is that if I talk about myself, I work with this. I work with a multi-dimensional team. So, the people on my team have to do multi-dimensional work. Why? It's a current need. To work and make progress in different sectors, plus to increase one's own... what should I say... one's own know-how. So for that reason, whoever I work with, I take them a little bit out of their comfort zone, bring them outside their comfort zone and get them to... do something in another matter. So that, if you say, current technology, current space, social, cultural... all these things are in their thoughts. So what happens in that is that... you know, we talk about other senses, right? A person has various creative senses. These things, the more we know about them, the more new ideas will be generated about things. Right? For that reason, one has to come out of this comfort zone and do some work. So that new ideas are generated. And people don't become experts in a day. They become experts after working on something for a long time. For example, if you look at Sayeed bhai, from his start to the present, you'll see he has done various types of work, but he has grown expertise in each one. And if you look at mine as well, in a similar way, or the people on my team, if you look at theirs too, in a similar way, they have grown expertise in different tracks. So, when we work together, we will try to go out of our own comfort zones to see how much we know and understand about another thing. Because technology has become such that you might be working with databases now. Now, if you don't have knowledge about other matters, you won't be able to cope well with the interrelation that will happen. So for that reason, each of us has to do these things. We have to know or learn them. So, I will tell Sayeed bhai, I have finished speaking, if you could kindly give us an idea about your system. We have more team members, we haven't included them today, but gradually they will be engaged, or when we start working together, we'll start working together. But the initial overview, we want to know from Sayeed bhai, that the ERP you are working on now, or if we grow AI capabilities there, actually in which fields... although Sayeed bhai has told me personally when we talked, his wishlist. So we are now, what we are doing, is recording it institutionally, we will know, analyze, or our team members who are there, the more extended ones who are working with AI or who are working with the systematic system, we will sit with them and move in a direction. Sayeed bhai, if you could kindly... are you on the computer?

Yes, yes. Can you hear me? Yes, yes, yes. I... yes. I am sharing a presentation. I will give a brief on our current ERP. A very short brief. Yes. Okay sir.

Okay, while Sayeed bhai gets ready... Okay, Sayeed bhai has arrived. Please.

Yes, here it is. Okay. Probably we can see the presentation. Everyone. Yes. Okay. Our ERP, let me skip these things. Sayeed bhai, can you make it full screen, kindly please? The full view? I am doing it.

Thank you. Okay. Basically, the business domains of Mononsoft are data analysis, database development, software development, quality assurance. Besides that, we have various technical expertise, industry-level expertise, and we regularly provide customer support to our clients. We have various proficiencies. I am skipping these for a bit. We follow the V-model during development. This is our product, basically JMI ERP. This is our ERP product. The basic modules of this ERP product, you can surely see them. Yes. The basic modules are our Sales and Distribution, where all types of sales order processing, shipping, billing, and sales activities are monitored. Then there is production... material management, below you can see the material management module, where all kinds of procurement, inventory management, and material planning, everything is managed from this module. Then there is Production Planning, where our entire production sector is covered. It oversees production scheduling, planning, quality control, everything is covered there. Then Financial Accounting and Controlling, the FICO module, where all types of financial transactions are managed and this is all integrated. All financial transactions from production planning, sales distribution, or material management are automatically integrated into the FICO module as vouchers. Human Resource Management, where all our employee records, payroll, recruitment, performance management, and so on, all HR-related activities are controlled. Then there is Administration and Control, where as a system admin, the entire system is configured and controlled. There are some parts of user management, role management, navigation management, and many other such issues that are controlled from administration. Okay. The modules that our Sales and Distribution module covers are sales order management, pricing, discount, billing, invoicing, shipping and delivery, credit management. Then there is sales reporting analytics, various types of reporting are there. Return management is there, delivery plan management is there, sales force tour planning management is there. For example, our sales force goes to influencers or to doctors, that also has proper management. Then Market Research Team Management, we have a separate research team that does prescription research. So, there is a separate sub-module for this research team as well. Then Sales Target Management. The targets given to our sales team, product-wise and monthly targets, are managed. This is, more or less, the coverage of Sales and Distribution in a short description. Then we come to Material Management. In Material Management, we have procurement management, we do inventory management, material requirements planning (MRP). Then vendor management, stock transport orders, warehouse management, material master data management. This material has many types of master data, it also has a separate MDG, which is in SAP as MDG, Master Data Governance. And Purchase Info Record. In the purchase info record, these reports are done in various ways. PR-wise, PO-wise. We have reporting that allows seeing the full trail. Then we come to our Production Planning. In production, what production is happening, there material requirements planning is a big thing. Then there is the bill of materials, the thing we will produce, we have the opportunity to configure its bill of materials. Then when it goes to production, work in progress. When we take the necessary raw materials of this bill of materials together and go into the production pipeline, that is the work in progress. Many kinds of work happen here. I had shown you the manufacturing process, there is a lot in one. Then the production order. This is your scheduling, various types of production, an order is needed to start the process. Then capacity planning. What we will produce in the next one month, for that, what resources we have, what machines will be needed, which ones are free and which are not, planning this capacity and doing production planning with capacity planning. We can do production planning daily, weekly, or monthly. Then quality management. Quality management is of two types. One is in-process quality management and another is your normal QC. One does QC and for compliance, it's called IPQC. All of this is actually within quality management. Then there is the Batch Manufacturing Record. We have granular-level records of all batch-wise manufacturing. Even during testing, if I take 300 tablets from a particular batch as samples at different times, we have stored separate accounts for each tablet here. There is tablet-wise output, what the fragility of each and every tablet was, what its weight was, there are arrangements to keep all of this. Then Business Process Re-engineering. Here, some of our re-engineering... when re-engineering is needed, we do it with this module. Then Recipe Creation. This is a starting point for BOM, that a BOM is created with a certain recipe. So, for the management of all these, this production planning module is working smoothly and is live. Then there is Human Resources. In Human Resources, what is there? Employee data management, payroll, time and attendance, performance management, employee self-service, HR analytics, and reporting, and we are extending this further. Currently, these are available. And Financial and Accounting Control. I have presented very shortly that general ledger accounting, accounts receivable, accounts payable, asset accounting, bank accounting, cost center. This is a very big... responsibility-based accounting. The cost center-based accounting. And then profit center accounting, where my revenue comes, profits come, to identify them separately and work. And in Administration and Controlling, there's user authorization management, system monitoring and troubleshooting, backup recovery, system configuration, security management, system updates, database management, and audit and compliance. I mentioned audit separately, that the full audit is kept in a separate, very secure schema so that even if a user is hacked, it will be secure. The audit will be secure. And for these clients, the support we provide includes training workshops, ticketing system. We have a separate ticketing system. Whenever users face any problem, they seek help through this ticketing system. After that, we have... you have seen, the video tutorial. An on-screen video tutorial. Whichever screen the user is working on, there is a video link right on that screen so that the video for that screen comes up directly. Like this. And customization support is also there. And these are our valued customers. Currently, our ERP system is running in these places. Among them, our JMI ERP is running in these five. And in DNA Solutions and Bangladesh Eye Hospital, we have customized solutions. Bangladesh Eye Hospital is an eye-specialty hospital management system, which is specially built for the eye sector. And DNA Solutions, this is your pathology. Pathology is a kind of hub. It has mobile apps where phlebotomists collect bulk samples from the field through mobile. All invoicing, sticker generation, everything is there on mobile. These are our total three ERPs. Basically, our core product is our JMI ERP. And the other two were our, I mean, previous ones. We will gradually convert these to new technology as well. For now, they are running on Oracle APEX. That's all from my side.

Great. Thank you Arif bhai. It was a very good presentation. And we saw the in-depth of the application. So, I will now request our Zakir, Zakir Khan, if you have any questions? Since you will understand the whole thing and discuss it with our team. Do you have any questions for Arif bhai? If you need, we will talk one-on-one. Later.

No. Now I have a question, it seems the HR part has not been added... in this. The HR part, how is it being given?

Thank you, Zakir bhai. In the HRM part, the modules I have shown, there is much more in HRM. Which is in our plan. We have presented with what we have actually taken live. We are currently live with the very minimum HR features. But the HR module is under development, still under development for us. Maybe by the end of December, meaning early January 2026, we will be able to launch the full HR module, hopefully. Because we are on that plan.

Okay, okay. That's what I wanted to know. Thank you.

Okay. Do your other team members have any questions? For me? Is there anything to ask?

Actually, regarding queries, we are very new to the world of AI, you could say we are babies. Especially people in Bangladesh haven't yet passed the childhood stage of the AI sector. Yes, yes, yes. Yes, that's right. So, in some places, we don't even understand what questions to ask. Those who are at the baby level...

For example, if I say it in layman's terms, let's say one of our characteristics is that I am a human. Now, let's say I eat rice in the morning, rice at noon, and rice at night. Now I have a disease, I have diabetes. Now, what will this do for me? If I now decide to take help from AI. To check my eating habits. So what will AI do? It will tell me that AI is data, without data, AI is nothing. So, if these data, for example, after eating, my glucose level goes up, my heartbeat increases, my weight increases, BMI and many other things are being affected by this sugar level. What the AI will do is it will tell me to change my eating habits. Do this thing, do that thing. This very thing is basically the job of AI. To give you the right information from historic data. Right? So, it's nothing else. When we work together, you will understand that it is actually an easy matter. People intentionally make it critical. But this is a very easy ongoing thing. Anyone can learn and implement. Okay, Rasel bhai, you've raised your hand, do you want to ask something?

Yes, actually I also had a basic question, what is our intention? The JARV we are already using, to introduce AI here, or something like that, I wanted to know our future plan, what do we want to do with it? Our... I mean, since I wasn't in the basic conversation, I don't really know what we want.

Okay. If I may enlighten Rasel bhai a little. At the beginning of our ERP development, we had said that after completing the basic modules, we would work on the MIS. If you can recall, I had kept the entire schedule for MIS at the end, so that after completing these four modules, I could work on the MIS. So what happens is, in the middle of MIS, a part is needed called DSS, Decision Support System. The MIS dashboard is created from this Decision Support System. So, the reports that are in the Decision Support System, to do these reports normally, the amount of effort we need, with much less effort, if we use AI-based facilities, we can get these DSS very quickly. With such an intention, I actually talked with Neser bhai and the Chairman Sir. The Chairman Sir pointed me to Neser bhai. I also shared this matter with Neser bhai, and Neser bhai has given me a positive indication that it is possible. Please, Neser bhai, if you would say something.

Thank you, Sayeed bhai. So, we actually call your Chairman Sir, Jabed bhai. So, I had initial talks with him. After that, I spoke with Arif bhai. So, basically, our target is your ERP, that's already there. That is our first priority. But we will have other priorities here. We will gradually inform you about that. Sayeed bhai and I are talking about this, and our team members, my partner Ross, we will talk with him next week. So what we want is to grow together. By growing together, I mean we won't be limited to just the ERP. We will go beyond that. We will go beyond. We will work together. We are now talking about various plans with Sayeed bhai. You will gradually know these things. But our main focus now will be on your decision-making. At the individual user level, from the lowest level to the very top boss level, so that they get an output and based on that, they can make decisions. And that means making decisions from historic data, making predictions, relying on knowledge, and deciding what to do in the future. So we will gradually work on these things, lay them out. For everyone's benefit. Now, those of you who are network engineers or those who are looking after the network, or those who are looking after the system or developing software, we will work with each of you. Individually or together. At different times, we will work with different people. But our main job will be to take the entire infrastructure to an international level. So that in Bangladesh, we will work, of course, internationally we are working now, we will work internationally so that we can stand as an active institution. But it will take time. So, that's it. Do you have any more questions?

Okay, Neser bhai. I had one thing. For example, we have a module called MRP, Material Requisition Planning. We haven't been able to take this MRP live yet. The reason is, in the backing of this MRP, there are thousands of attributes. For example, for a particular tenure, say January to June 2006, what raw materials I will need. For planning that, what orders do I have, what is my current stock like, what is my sales projection, and then many other things like my institutional requirements, after calculating everything, then for the next six months, what kind of raw materials I will need has to be figured out. Can AI help me here? Number one. Number two is, let's say my production will run for the next six months. The capacity management, here, what machines I have, what kind of machines are there, and how I will plan which machine to use when for the production in the next six months. Because it's one after another, there's a sequential thread that it will go from this machine to that machine, from that machine to this machine. So, and various kinds of production are running on those machines. In between each production, there's a cleaning gap time. Combining everything, for planning these things, what advantage can AI give me, or how can we proceed to get these advantages from it?

Thank you, Arif bhai. Both of these things are possible. We have done some work on this. For example, in your backend or frontend or database, if you share with us the database schemas or the kind of structure you will use for the database or have used, what we can do is, for example, a machine has a lifespan, right? A machine can produce, say, 1000 metric tons of things. After producing this 1000 metric tons, it will either run out, or it will go for repair, or something will happen, or it will break. Right? These things, these lifecycle things, if we specifically trace them out from point A to point D, then from there we can specifically tell you that in this machine or in this production, 1000 metric tons or half or five metric tons, various types of production are happening. That means how much your production is being delayed and how much production you will make in the next six months, we can predict or analyze and give that. It won't be complicated. The prediction will depend on previous data.

Yes Zakir, please. Yes, the prediction will depend on previous data. Because it depends on what happened previously, what was done in which month, then the last six years, eight years, it will depend on such previous data. Then how it will predict for the future, how much raw material will be needed, what is there, all of that will depend a lot on previous data.

Hmm hmm. So, if we get the data, if we work together, Inshallah, if you have any target time, we can complete it together within that timeframe. There will be no problem, Inshallah.

Okay. And this kind of... this thing, if you... for... sorry, Zakir bhai. Yes. Yes, sorry, I interrupted. This thing is actually about... predicting something. It can't predict on its own, it takes data from something or from something previous, and then gives a prediction result. That's it, if there is any previous data of raw materials, we can predict from that data and do the next planning.

Okay. And another thing is, for example, in our... there are various devices. Among them, one device is, say, an attendance device. Another device is my CCTV camera. Like this, these things, for example, a CCTV camera. The CCTV cameras I have in various places, can I get any AI-based facilities from there? For example, I have a CCTV camera on a production floor, there my movement... let's say in the warehouse, the warehouse on the production floor, to identify movement in it, face recognition. Is it possible to do these things from AI?

Yes, yes, Sayeed bhai, that is totally possible. There is no problem. We can... we call it abnormality detection. For example, you have a system loss somewhere. System loss means, for example, you can have equipment system loss, raw material system loss, and system loss of anything else. So what we do with these things is we enable AI to abnormally detect from where which things are happening and bring it directly to your, I mean, ERP. That yes, your... for example, you have 10 or 15 or 20 warehouses. Now, in this warehouse, you specifically want to know how many goods are coming in, how many goods are going out. On this basis, we can give predictions, plus, from which aisle... for example, each of you has an aisle, that this aisle has this product, these materials are kept there. From which aisle how many materials are coming out. What quantity is coming out, all of this we can predict... sorry, all of this we can analyze and tell you. Plus, whether the employees are working, how long they are working, how long their movement is... I mean, everything is possible.

Thank you. Does Raju have any machine-related queries?

No. Yes, okay, the system we have now, it's actually on the traditional servers we have. These don't have GPUs. Will we need any GPU-based machines for these AI-related tasks?

Okay. We will analyze this, and with... I mean, I have already talked about this with Arif bhai. What we'll do is, with your current database server, I will sit with Arif bhai and look at your nodes, how much load your machines can take. How they are taking it. Now, if we specifically create a server for AI, we will definitely enable GPU in it. Why? Because your user level, with 3000-4000 users making entries at the same time, or in the future, you... we have a plan to sell this ERP outside of JMI. So, to enable those things, we will need a GPU-based server. In the future. But how much will be needed, what will be needed, where it will be needed, how we will set up the entire networking infrastructure, we will gradually do that after sitting with those of you who are working, working with Raju bhai, and then we will lay out our next short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals accordingly.

For me too, mainly for the employee motion... motion prediction, whatever it's called, to implement that, we will need... GPU will definitely be needed. Because many models will be hit here.

Hmm hmm. So, that... we... we... I mean, it's case by case. The infrastructure we will set up, we won't set it up all at once. We will set it up as a cloud architecture. Whenever we need something or need additional... capacity, we will gradually grow the stacks. But initially, your existing setup, we will try to maintain that and see what additional things can be added to fulfill our short-term goal for now. Because we don't need everything at once. We will grow gradually. Income will be generated, and gradually we will extend it.

Perfect. If this happens, then it's possible to rise, to grow.

Yes, yes, Sayeed bhai.

Okay. Does anyone else have any questions?

Not for now, Inshallah. When we work, many questions will arise, ideas will be generated, and we will handle them day by day, Inshallah.

Yes. Sayeed bhai, what I need from you is, I think I need to sit with you, face to face. So, will you come to my office? Then with my developers or the team, we can have a discussion. About how we are actually laying out the thing. Because based on this layout, we will have a meeting with my partner, Ross. Because we will plan the entire infrastructure or architecture first. After planning, we will set our short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals, and then we will proceed. So that we are within project, within budget, within everything, and everyone feels that they are in good hands and we have a mission to complete.

Sure. This is one of our threads, what plan we have for AI implementation in the ERP, we will definitely do it, and for that, physically, I am planning to come to your office next. I will come, maybe with one or two from my team. Whatever, I will come, maybe this week. Whether it's possible this week, I will fix it after talking to you one-on-one after the meeting. Okay. Okay. And like this, online, we can have a meeting weekly, for at least half an hour, to get the latest, so that everyone is on the same page. If we have a hi-hello once a week in a meeting room, then we all stay together. Let's keep together, everybody.

There is a small barrier here, let me discuss that first. I am in Bangladesh until the 15th. After the 15th, I am going to the UK. I will be there for two-three months and then come back to Bangladesh. So after the 15th, maybe your time, my morning 8 AM or office time starts, while it's afternoon here for you. So if we select the time that way, maybe we can fix a time for always. Sure, no problem, Inshallah. No problem. Okay. Then there's no problem. If we set the UK time to 9 AM, 9 plus six hours. What time is that? That means 3 PM here. Yes. If we always keep the meeting around 3 or 4 PM, then, for example, if we have a meeting with you or with my partner Ross, if the three of us meet together, then this time is suitable. From 8 AM... from our 8 AM to 10 or 11 AM, then it will be within your office hours too.

Okay, okay. And another thing is, our another thread is creating resources through AI training. For that, if you could enlighten us on how to do it... this too, if you can arrange an online class once a week for our team, where they will get a week's worth of... food for thought, they will... every week under your guidance, some AI-based resources can be created here.

Okay, so I can do that, no problem. So let's... let's just talk about this one-on-one, how we'll do it. Yes, yes. After laying it out, we'll share it with everyone. I think that would be the best.

Sure, sure. Arif bhai. Yes, Rasel bhai. I had a requirement, our JMI's entire network is maintained or monitored, entirely developed by Milton bhai. To attach this Milton bhai to this group. He... he can add good value.

Of course, of course. Actually, since you were here, I didn't... You add Milton bhai from the next meeting. Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, so what I will request from you is, for all of you, I don't know if you are on LinkedIn. I am connected with Arif bhai. If you could kindly provide your LinkedIn profile in this message, the advantage would be that I can connect with everyone. And if you don't have LinkedIn, if you kindly create one and then share, that would also work. And if you share your mobile numbers with me, I will create a WhatsApp group. So that we can always stay updated if there is a meeting or anything, and you'll have to provide your email so that I can email you the scheduled time for our weekly meeting.

Yes, sure. Neser bhai, I am sharing your LinkedIn profile with everyone. Everyone in this team, I am sharing it with all the members. Everyone will add you.

Okay. That would be, that would be great. And Sayeed bhai, I have your number. I am creating a group, so if there... okay, I am getting everyone's number. So, I will add everyone and create a group and invite everyone, Inshallah.

Sure, sure, sure.

So, does anyone else have any questions or anything?

From our side, it seems there are none for now.

Okay. None from me.

Then, for today, thank you very much everyone. For talking with us, and we, Inshallah, will solve problems together, be it our own problems or people's problems, whatever it is. And by working together, we will try to make this initiative grow, no matter what.

Okay. In this team, I will add another one or two managers. Rasel bhai's team, Milton bhai will be added. My team, another one or two managers who are directly connected with these data. Then they too can contribute more and they will also be enlightened.

Yes, yes. Of course. Of course.

Okay. Okay, then thank you. Sayeed bhai, I am... on WhatsApp. Then we will discuss. I... yes, I am calling you on WhatsApp. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Assalamu Alaikum. Assalamu Alaikum. Thank you, everyone.
