Introduction: The Challenge That Sparked a Transformation

Thirty days ago, Brain Station 23 sat down with the leadership of Omera Petroleum Limited, Omera Cylinders Limited, and Omera Gas One Limited. Their challenge was urgent and clear: “We need to automate payroll and tax processing for over 1,000 employees—fast. And it must comply with Bangladeshi tax laws, unique salary structures, and internal HR policies.” This wasn’t just a technology project. It was a mission-critical transformation on a tight deadline.

Strategic Foundations Before Development

Rather than jumping into development, we prioritized the areas most teams overlook:

• Architecture.
• Clarity.
• Alignment.

We spent time listening to stakeholders, mapping workflows, and pushing for clarity. The shared goal became simple yet powerful:

Build a system that works today, scales tomorrow, and adapts when policies or laws change in the future.

What We Delivered in Just 30 Day

Brain Station 23 successfully implemented a robust payroll system across three different companies in just one month. Here’s what was delivered and is now fully operational:

Payroll Automation Across All Three Companies

A consolidated system tailored to each company’s unique salary policies, internal rules, and taxation structure.

One-Click Advance Income Tax (AIT) Calculation

The system automates AIT in line with Bangladesh’s complex tax laws, minimizing compliance risks and manual errors.

Custom Salary Structures

Each organization had distinct structures. We configured those complexities into flexible salary schemes that could be easily updated.

Automated Bonus Disbursement

We enabled automatic bonus calculations and payments based on company-specific policies and employee tiers.

Employee Record & Contract Management

Digitized employee records and contract workflows for full HR visibility and process control.

Fully Configurable Tax Engine

HR teams can now make real-time updates to tax parameters without developer support, increasing agility and independence.

Optimized Batch Payslip Processing

Over 1,000 payslips can now be generated and distributed within minutes, enabling rapid monthly closure for payroll cycles.

Together, we delivered not just a project, but a transformation.
