A cooperative in Butwal was managing loan records on Microsoft Excel. Three staff members maintained separate spreadsheets that needed to be manually reconciled each week, interest calculations were done by hand, and member passbooks were printed and stamped at the counter while a queue waited. When an audit flagged three years of inconsistencies that no one could trace back to a source entry, the management realised what businesses across Nepal are realising at scale: there is a category of operational problem that Excel, WhatsApp groups, and desktop software cannot solve. That category is where web application development begins.



A web application is not a website. A website presents information - pages, text, images, contact forms. A web application processes data, enforces business rules, and enables multiple people to take coordinated action on shared information simultaneously, from any device, anywhere in the world. A school management system that handles admissions, attendance, fee collection, exam results, and teacher payroll is a web application. An inventory and billing platform that tracks stock across three warehouse locations and auto-generates purchase orders when thresholds are crossed is a web application. A hospital patient management system where reception, doctors, pharmacy, and billing all work on the same patient record in real time is a web application. These systems do not exist off a shelf for Nepal's specific regulatory, linguistic, and operational context - they are built.



WebApp Nepal builds custom web applications for businesses, institutions, cooperatives, and government bodies across Nepal. Our applications are built on robust technology stacks - primarily Laravel for backend systems and React or Vue.js for frontend interfaces - with Nepal-specific requirements engineered in from the start: Bikram Sambat calendar support, Devanagari and bilingual interfaces, eSewa and Khalti payment integration, NRB-compliant financial reporting formats, and the Nepali fiscal year (Shrawan to Ashadh). We build software that reflects how Nepal actually works, not how a generic SaaS platform assumes it works.




#### What Is Web Application Development?



Web application development is the process of designing, building, and deploying software that runs in a web browser and operates through a server backend connected to a database. Unlike desktop software installed on individual computers, web applications are accessed through a URL, require no installation, run on any device with a modern browser, and store data centrally so every user always sees current information.



Modern web applications use a client-server architecture: the frontend (user interface) runs in the browser using JavaScript frameworks like React or Vue.js, communicating with a backend API built in frameworks like Laravel, Node.js, or Django, which in turn reads and writes to a relational database (MySQL, PostgreSQL) or document store. This architecture enables real-time collaboration, role-based access control, audit logging, scheduled automation, and integrations with external services - capabilities that spreadsheets and desktop software fundamentally cannot provide.




#### Why Nepal Businesses Need Custom Web Applications




##### Generic SaaS Does Not Fit Nepal's Context



International SaaS platforms - accounting software, HR systems, school management tools - are built for Western regulatory environments, Gregorian calendar systems, USD currency, and Latin-script languages. Nepal businesses using these platforms face constant workarounds: manually converting BS dates to AD, maintaining shadow records for VAT and IRD filing requirements that do not map to international formats, losing Devanagari text to encoding issues, and paying USD subscription fees for features that 70 percent do not apply to Nepal operations. A custom web application built for Nepal eliminates every one of these workarounds from day one.




##### Operational Scale Breaks Manual Processes



When a business processes ten orders a day, a spreadsheet works. At a hundred orders, errors accumulate. At a thousand, the system collapses. Nepal's growing economy is pushing businesses past the thresholds where manual processes are viable. Cooperatives with thousands of members, schools with multiple campuses, trading companies with inventory across five districts, and hospitals managing hundreds of daily patient interactions all reach the point where custom software is not a luxury - it is the operational requirement for scale.




##### Multi-User Real-Time Coordination



When five people need to see and update the same data - stock levels, patient records, member loan balances, employee attendance - simultaneously from different devices and locations, a web application is the only appropriate tool. WhatsApp file sharing creates version conflicts. Shared Google Sheets hit edit conflicts and have no audit trail. A properly built web application handles concurrent users, records every change with timestamp and user identity, and enforces data integrity rules that prevent the kind of audit problems that catch up with manually managed Nepal businesses.




##### Automation and Scheduled Operations



Nepal businesses have significant repetitive computational work: monthly interest calculation on cooperative member savings and loans, automatic attendance report generation for schools, stock reorder alerts when warehouse levels fall below thresholds, automated SMS or email notifications to customers for payment due dates, IRD tax report generation at fiscal year end. Custom web applications automate all of this through scheduled tasks and event-driven triggers - work that currently consumes hours of staff time every day.




#### Web Application Development Services We Offer




##### Cooperative and Microfinance Management Systems



Nepal has thousands of registered cooperatives - savings and credit (SACCOS), agricultural, consumer, and multipurpose. Most are still managed on accounting software that lacks member-facing features, does not generate NRB-format reports, and requires manual BS date handling. WebApp Nepal builds cooperative management systems with full member lifecycle management (registration, KYC, shares), savings and loan account management with interest calculation on BS calendar, NRB-compliant reporting exports, member passbook generation, teller transaction processing, and role-based access for management, tellers, and auditors.




##### School and College Management Systems



Nepal's education institutions need management platforms that handle admission processing with BS-calendar academic year tracking, student attendance marking per class/subject, exam result entry and marksheet generation (including letter grades per NEB format), fee collection with eSewa and Khalti payment options, teacher payroll with PF contribution calculation, library management, and a parent-facing portal for fee payment and result viewing. WebApp Nepal builds these systems for schools from Kathmandu to remote hill districts, including multilingual Nepali/English interfaces.




##### Hospital and Clinic Management Systems



Healthcare web applications for Nepal require patient registration with unique ID generation, OPD/IPD queue management, doctor appointment booking, prescription and diagnosis records per patient visit, pharmacy inventory with expiry tracking, laboratory result entry linked to patient records, billing with itemised receipt generation, and reporting for hospital administration. WebApp Nepal builds HMS solutions for hospitals in Kathmandu Valley and provincial cities with the operational workflows that match how Nepal healthcare facilities actually run.




##### Inventory and Billing Systems



Trading companies, distributors, and manufacturers in Nepal need inventory management that tracks stock across multiple warehouse locations, manages purchase orders and goods receipt, handles item-level expiry and batch tracking for pharmaceuticals and FMCG goods, generates sales invoices with VAT calculation in IRD-compliant format, and provides real-time stock level dashboards for management. Integration with eSewa and Khalti for digital payment collection and bank transfer verification via ConnectIPS is built in where required.




##### HR and Payroll Management Systems



Nepal's HR systems need Nepali payroll calculation: basic salary, allowances, CIT (Citizen Investment Trust) deduction, Employee Provident Fund contribution (EPF - employee 10%, employer 10%), health insurance deduction, income tax calculation on the Nepal Government slab rates, and generation of salary slips and monthly payroll reports. Attendance integration from biometric devices via API, leave management with Nepali government holidays and festival leave entitlements (Dashain, Tihar), and probation tracking are standard features in our HR web applications.




##### ERP Systems for Nepal Businesses



Larger Nepal enterprises - manufacturing units, multi-branch trading houses, construction companies - need integrated ERP platforms where accounting, inventory, HR, procurement, and sales modules share a single database and operate in real-time coordination. WebApp Nepal builds modular ERP systems with Laravel backends, allowing phased deployment: start with inventory and billing, add HR and payroll in phase two, integrate accounts in phase three - without any data migration between systems because the architecture anticipates the full scope from the beginning.




##### Booking and Reservation Systems



Trekking agencies, hotels, vehicle rental companies, medical appointment platforms, and event management businesses in Nepal need web-based booking systems with real-time availability, calendar management, customer-facing booking flows optimised for mobile, payment collection via eSewa/Khalti, automated confirmation SMS/email, and an admin dashboard for booking management and reporting. WebApp Nepal builds booking systems that account for the specific Nepal operational context: multi-day trek itinerary scheduling, BS-calendar event planning, and group booking with per-person pricing logic.




##### Multi-Tenant SaaS Platforms



If you are building a software product to sell to multiple Nepal businesses - a cloud accounting platform, a multi-school management SaaS, a cooperative software subscription service - WebApp Nepal builds the multi-tenant architecture that isolates each customer's data within a shared infrastructure. Laravel's multi-tenancy patterns (separate databases per tenant or row-level tenant isolation), subdomain routing, centralised billing with eSewa/Khalti subscription collection, and tenant onboarding automation are all within our development scope.




##### API Development and System Integration



Many Nepal businesses need to connect their existing systems with third-party services: eSewa and Khalti payment APIs, SMS gateway integration (Sparrow SMS, Aakash SMS) for OTP and notification delivery, NTC and Ncell bulk SMS, IRD e-billing system integration, NRB exchange rate API, and custom REST API development for mobile app backends. WebApp Nepal builds RESTful and GraphQL APIs with Laravel Sanctum or Passport authentication, rate limiting, and comprehensive API documentation.




#### Nepal-Specific Technical Requirements We Handle




##### Bikram Sambat Calendar Integration



Nepal's official calendar is the Bikram Sambat (BS) system, which runs approximately 56 years and 8 months ahead of the Gregorian calendar. All government documents, school academic years, fiscal years, and cooperative accounting periods use BS dates. WebApp Nepal integrates BS/AD date conversion libraries throughout every Nepal-facing application - date pickers show BS calendars, database storage can be configured per client preference, reports generate with BS dates, and the Nepali fiscal year (1 Shrawan to 31 Ashadh) is the default accounting period.




##### Devanagari and Bilingual Interface Support



Many Nepal users - especially in government, education, and cooperative sectors - work more comfortably in Nepali. WebApp Nepal builds applications with bilingual interfaces that allow switching between Nepali (Devanagari) and English, or complete Nepali-first interfaces where the user base is predominantly non-English. This requires UTF-8 database encoding throughout, Noto Sans Devanagari or Mukta font integration, RTL/LTR layout awareness where mixed script content appears, and PDF report generation with Devanagari-capable PDF libraries.




##### eSewa, Khalti, and ConnectIPS Integration



Any Nepal web application handling financial transactions needs production-grade payment gateway integration. eSewa's production API uses HMAC-SHA256 signature validation with secret key management. Khalti uses OAuth2-based payment initiation with webhook verification for payment confirmation. ConnectIPS handles bank transfer payments for higher-value B2B transactions. WebApp Nepal has integrated all three in production environments, including the webhook handling that confirms payments after the redirect flow - the part most frequently implemented incorrectly.




##### IRD VAT and Tax Compliance



Nepal's Inland Revenue Department (IRD) requires VAT-registered businesses to maintain billing records in IRD-compatible formats and file returns electronically. Web applications handling invoicing need to calculate 13% VAT correctly, generate bills in IRD-compliant format with correct PAN/VAT number display, support real-time billing sync for businesses required to use the IRD's billing system, and generate purchase and sales registers for monthly VAT filing.




##### SMS Integration for Nepal Networks



OTP delivery, payment confirmation, appointment reminders, and staff attendance notifications in Nepal rely on SMS through gateways compatible with Ncell and NTC networks. WebApp Nepal integrates with Sparrow SMS, Aakash SMS, and other Nepal-certified SMS gateways, implementing OTP generation with time-based expiry, bulk notification queuing through Laravel Queue with retry logic for failed deliveries, and delivery report tracking.




#### Industries We Build Web Applications For




##### Financial Services and Cooperatives



Savings and credit cooperatives, microfinance institutions, remittance companies, and insurance agents across Nepal - from Kathmandu to Dhading to Illam - use web applications built by WebApp Nepal to manage member accounts, process transactions, generate NRB-format reports, and provide management dashboards. NRB regulatory reporting requirements are built into these systems, not retrofitted.




##### Education



From Montessori schools in Lalitpur to engineering colleges in Chitwan, education institutions use WebApp Nepal-built platforms for the full student lifecycle: admission, attendance, examination, results, fee management, and certificate generation. SEE and NEB grading format support is built into examination modules.




##### Healthcare



Hospitals, diagnostic centres, dental clinics, and pharmacy chains across Nepal use custom HMS and pharmacy management systems built by WebApp Nepal to coordinate patient care, manage inventory with expiry tracking, process billing, and generate Ministry of Health-format reports.




##### Government and Municipalities



Municipal offices, government departments, and public institutions in Nepal need citizen service portals, document management systems, complaint tracking systems, and internal workflow automation. WebApp Nepal has built systems for ward-level service delivery, property tax management, and public notice boards for local government units.




##### Manufacturing and Supply Chain



Manufacturers and distributors in Nepal's emerging industrial corridors - Simara, Bhairahawa, Hetauda - need production tracking, raw material inventory, distribution channel management, and dealer reporting portals. WebApp Nepal builds these operational systems with the batch tracking and lot management Nepal's pharmaceutical and food processing sectors require.




#### Our Web Application Development Process




##### Step 1 - Discovery and Requirements Analysis



We spend the first one to two weeks understanding your operation in depth: current workflows, pain points, data that needs to be tracked, who needs access to what, what reports are needed for management and compliance, and what integrations with external systems are required. For Nepal-specific systems, this includes understanding IRD compliance requirements, NRB reporting obligations, and whether BS-calendar or Gregorian date handling is primary.




##### Step 2 - System Architecture and Database Design



Database schema design is the most consequential decision in a web application project - it is very expensive to change later. We design relational database schemas that correctly model your business entities and relationships, with appropriate indexing for performance at scale. The system architecture document defines API structure, module breakdown, user roles and permissions, and third-party integration points before development begins.




##### Step 3 - UI/UX Design and Prototype



For complex web applications, we design key interfaces - dashboards, data entry forms, report views - before coding begins. Nepal business application users range from highly computer-literate finance staff to counter staff who have never used a keyboard-heavy application. We design for the actual user base: large touch targets for counter staff on tablets, data-dense dashboard views for management, and minimal-click workflows for high-frequency operations like teller transactions or student attendance marking.




##### Step 4 - Phased Development with Sprint Reviews



Development is organised into two-week sprints with a working demonstration at the end of each sprint. This keeps you informed of progress, surfaces requirement misunderstandings early (before they compound into expensive rework), and allows priority adjustments as the system takes shape. Core modules - authentication, master data management, primary transaction flows - are built in early sprints so end-to-end testing begins early rather than at project end.




##### Step 5 - Security Implementation



Web application security is not a final-stage addition. Authentication uses bcrypt password hashing, session management with CSRF protection, and optional two-factor authentication via OTP. Role-based access control (RBAC) enforces that each user role can only access the screens and actions their role permits. All database queries use parameterised statements to prevent SQL injection. File upload handlers validate MIME types and scan for malicious content. HTTPS is enforced throughout.




##### Step 6 - Testing: Unit, Integration, and User Acceptance



Automated unit tests cover business logic calculations (interest computation, tax calculation, inventory valuation). Integration tests verify that API endpoints, payment gateway flows, and SMS delivery work correctly. User acceptance testing (UAT) is conducted with your actual staff on representative data before go-live - the people who will use the system daily are the most reliable testers for workflow correctness.




##### Step 7 - Deployment, Training, and Handover



We deploy to production servers with staging environments, configure automated daily database backups, set up error monitoring (Sentry or equivalent), and document the system for future maintenance. Staff training is conducted in Nepali where required. We provide a handover package including system documentation, database schema, and deployment runbook so your system does not depend on WebApp Nepal for routine operations - though support and maintenance packages are available for ongoing development and technical assistance.




#### Web Application Development Pricing in Nepal



Web application projects are scoped individually because complexity varies enormously. A basic inventory and billing system for a small trading company might be scoped at NPR 1,50,000&ndash;2,50,000. A mid-complexity school management system with fee collection, exam management, and parent portal runs NPR 3,00,000&ndash;6,00,000. A full cooperative management system with NRB-format reporting, loan management, and member portal is typically NPR 5,00,000&ndash;12,00,000 depending on feature scope. Enterprise ERP systems for multi-branch businesses are scoped on detailed requirements but typically range from NPR 10,00,000 upward. All projects receive a detailed proposal with itemised feature scope and fixed-price or milestone-based payment terms after the initial discovery call.




#### Why Choose WebApp Nepal for Web Application Development





- Nepal-native engineering: BS calendar, Devanagari interfaces, eSewa/Khalti production integration, IRD VAT compliance, NRB reporting formats, and EPF/CIT payroll calculations are not add-ons we research after you ask - they are part of our standard development knowledge because we have built these features across dozens of Nepal projects.

- Laravel expertise for Nepal enterprise systems: Laravel's Eloquent ORM, Gate and Policy RBAC system, Task Scheduler for automated processes, Queue system for background jobs, and Sanctum/Passport for API authentication make it the most appropriate PHP framework for Nepal's complex business application requirements. Our team builds production Laravel applications, not tutorial-grade code.

- Phased delivery with working software at each milestone: You see running software every two weeks, not a big-bang delivery six months later that does not match what you asked for. Requirements change during any complex project - our sprint model accommodates this without derailing timelines.

- Security as a deliverable: Every application we deliver has passed a security review: OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities checked, RBAC verified against role specifications, payment webhook validation confirmed, and SQL injection prevention validated. We provide a security checklist sign-off with every handover.

- Post-launch support options: Web applications need ongoing development as your business evolves. WebApp Nepal offers monthly retainer agreements covering bug fixes, minor feature additions, server monitoring, and dependency updates so your system remains secure and functional for the long term.



The businesses that will define Nepal's next decade of economic growth are the ones building operational capacity now - systems that let them scale without scaling headcount proportionally, serve customers faster, and make decisions based on real data rather than end-of-month Excel reconciliations. WebApp Nepal builds that operational capacity. Reach out with your project idea or operational challenge, and we will scope a solution built specifically for how your Nepal business works.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is web application development and how is it different from a website?

A website presents information - pages, text, images. A web application processes data, enforces business rules, and allows multiple users to take coordinated action on shared information in real time. Examples in Nepal include cooperative management systems, school management platforms, hospital HMS, inventory and billing systems, and HR/payroll software. Web applications require login, have user roles, store and retrieve live data, and automate business processes - capabilities a standard website does not provide.

### How much does web application development cost in Nepal?

Web application costs in Nepal vary by complexity. A basic inventory and billing system costs NPR 1,50,000–2,50,000. A school management system with fee collection and exam management runs NPR 3,00,000–6,00,000. A cooperative management system with NRB reporting and loan management is NPR 5,00,000–12,00,000. Enterprise ERP systems for multi-branch businesses start from NPR 10,00,000. All projects receive a detailed proposal with fixed-price or milestone-based payment terms after a discovery call.

### Do you build web applications with Bikram Sambat (BS) calendar support?

Yes. BS calendar support is a standard feature in all Nepal-facing web applications we build. This includes BS-format date pickers, automatic BS/AD date conversion throughout the application, fiscal year logic based on Shrawan–Ashadh (Nepali fiscal year), and report generation with BS dates. Cooperative accounting, school academic year management, and government-facing systems all use BS calendar as the primary date system.

### Can you integrate eSewa and Khalti payment into a web application?

Yes. WebApp Nepal has production-grade experience integrating eSewa (HMAC-SHA256 signature validation) and Khalti (OAuth2 payment initiation with webhook confirmation) into web applications for e-commerce, school fee collection, cooperative member payments, and booking systems. We also integrate ConnectIPS for bank transfer payments in higher-value B2B transactions. The critical post-payment webhook handling - which confirms payment completion after the redirect - is specifically tested in all our integrations.

### What technology stack does WebApp Nepal use for web applications?

WebApp Nepal primarily builds web application backends with Laravel (PHP) and frontends with React, Vue.js, or Laravel Blade/Livewire depending on project requirements. Databases are MySQL or PostgreSQL. For real-time features (live dashboards, chat), we use Laravel Broadcasting with WebSockets. Queue management uses Laravel Horizon with Redis. APIs are built with Laravel Sanctum (session-based) or Passport (OAuth2). This stack is proven for Nepal's cooperative, education, and enterprise application requirements.

### Can you build a cooperative management system that generates NRB reports?

Yes. WebApp Nepal has built cooperative management systems for savings and credit cooperatives (SACCOS) in Nepal with NRB-format report generation. This includes member savings account management, loan account management with interest calculation on BS calendar, share capital management, trial balance and balance sheet generation in NRB format, and audit trail logging for examiner review. We understand NRB's cooperative regulatory reporting requirements and build them into the system architecture from the start.

### How long does it take to build a web application in Nepal?

Timeline depends on scope. A basic billing and inventory system takes 6–10 weeks. A school management system takes 3–5 months. A full cooperative management system or hospital HMS takes 4–8 months. Enterprise ERP systems take 6–12 months depending on module scope. WebApp Nepal delivers in two-week sprints with working software demos at each sprint review, so you have visibility into progress throughout - not a big-bang delivery at project end.

### Do you build school management systems for Nepal schools?

Yes. WebApp Nepal builds school management systems handling: student admissions with BS academic year tracking, class-wise attendance, exam result entry with NEB-format grade calculation, marksheet generation, fee collection with eSewa/Khalti payment options, teacher payroll with PF deductions, library management, and parent portals for fee payment and result viewing. Systems are available in bilingual Nepali/English interfaces and are used by schools from Kathmandu to hill districts.

### What is role-based access control (RBAC) and why does it matter for Nepal web applications?

Role-based access control (RBAC) means each user of the application can only see and perform the actions their assigned role permits. In a cooperative management system, a teller can process deposits and withdrawals but cannot approve loans or generate NRB reports. A loan officer can process loan applications but cannot access the management dashboard. An auditor has read-only access to transaction records. Proper RBAC prevents internal data breaches, reduces human error, and is required for financial application audits in Nepal.

### Can you build web applications for Nepal municipal and government offices?

Yes. WebApp Nepal has built web applications for municipal-level government units including citizen service portals, property tax management systems, public complaint tracking, document management systems, and ward-level service delivery platforms. Government applications require Nepali language interfaces, BS calendar throughout, government document format compliance, and multi-level approval workflows. We are familiar with the procurement and deployment requirements of Nepal's local government digital initiatives.

### Do you build hospital management systems (HMS) for Nepal?

Yes. WebApp Nepal builds HMS for hospitals and clinics covering patient registration with unique ID, OPD/IPD queue management, doctor appointment scheduling, prescription and diagnosis record per visit, pharmacy inventory with expiry tracking, laboratory result linking to patient records, itemised billing with VAT, and management reporting. Systems handle the Nepali-context workflows - multiple OPD shifts, mixed consultation fee structures, and pharmacy billing integrated with prescription records.

### What is the difference between a web application and a mobile app for Nepal businesses?

A web application runs in a browser (Chrome, Firefox) on any device - phone, tablet, laptop - with no installation required. A mobile app is installed from Google Play or the App Store and runs natively on the device. Web applications are typically faster and less expensive to build (one codebase, any device), easier to update centrally, and accessible to users without app installation. Mobile apps offer deeper device integration (camera, offline, push notifications). Most Nepal businesses start with a responsive web application; a mobile app is added later if specific native device features justify the additional cost.

### Can you migrate our existing Excel-based system to a web application?

Yes. This is one of the most common projects we undertake for Nepal businesses. The process includes: auditing your existing Excel files and workflows to understand the data model, designing a database schema that correctly represents the data and relationships, importing historical data into the new system, building the web application interface matching your current workflows, and training staff on the new system. Excel migration projects are scoped after reviewing your actual spreadsheets to assess data quality and complexity.

### Do Nepal web applications need to handle VAT and IRD compliance?

Yes, if the business is VAT-registered. Web applications handling invoicing need to calculate 13% VAT correctly, display the business's PAN/VAT number on invoices, generate sales and purchase registers in formats compatible with IRD e-filing, and support IRD's real-time billing system integration for businesses required to use it. WebApp Nepal builds IRD-compliant billing into inventory, ERP, and e-commerce applications as a standard feature for Nepal businesses.

### How is data secured in a web application built by WebApp Nepal?

Security measures in every WebApp Nepal application include: bcrypt password hashing (no plain text storage), CSRF token protection on all forms, HTTPS enforced site-wide, parameterised database queries preventing SQL injection, role-based access control verified against role specifications, file upload MIME type validation, rate limiting on login and OTP endpoints to prevent brute force attacks, and optional two-factor authentication via SMS OTP. We provide a security checklist sign-off at handover. Applications handling financial data receive additional audit logging for every transaction.

### Can you integrate SMS notifications into a Nepal web application?

Yes. WebApp Nepal integrates with Nepal-certified SMS gateways - Sparrow SMS, Aakash SMS - for OTP delivery, payment confirmation, appointment reminders, and automated staff notifications. SMS integration uses Laravel Queue for background sending with retry logic for failed deliveries, delivery report tracking for critical OTPs, and template management for different notification types. SMS works on both Ncell and NTC networks through these gateways.

### What is a multi-tenant SaaS web application and can you build one for Nepal?

A multi-tenant SaaS application is software where multiple independent businesses (tenants) use the same application but each sees only their own data. If you are building a school management software product to sell to multiple schools, or a cooperative SaaS for multiple cooperatives, multi-tenant architecture means you maintain one codebase while each customer's data is isolated. WebApp Nepal builds multi-tenant Laravel applications with subdomain routing, tenant-isolated databases, centralised billing with eSewa/Khalti subscription collection, and tenant onboarding automation.

### Do you build HR and payroll systems for Nepal companies?

Yes. Nepal payroll requires specific calculations: basic salary, allowances, EPF deduction (employee 10%, employer 10%), CIT deduction, health insurance deduction, income tax on Nepal Government salary tax slabs, and net pay computation. WebApp Nepal's HR systems handle attendance integration from biometric devices via API, leave management with Nepal government holidays and festival leave entitlements (Dashain, Tihar bonus), payroll processing with tax computation, salary slip generation, and monthly payroll summary reports for management and IRD compliance.

### Can a web application work offline or in areas with poor internet in Nepal?

Standard web applications require an internet connection. However, Progressive Web App (PWA) technology can enable offline functionality for specific features - data entry that syncs when connectivity is restored. For field operations in rural Nepal with unreliable connectivity, we assess which parts of the application are critical offline (data collection, viewing recent records) and implement service worker caching for those features specifically. Full offline ERP functionality requires a different architecture - local server installation - which we also scope for organisations with connectivity constraints.

### What post-launch support does WebApp Nepal provide for web applications?

WebApp Nepal offers monthly retainer agreements covering: bug fixes within agreed SLA timeframes, minor feature additions (up to agreed hours per month), security updates for framework and dependency versions, server monitoring and uptime alerting, database backup verification, and technical consultation. We also provide on-demand development for larger feature additions billed at project rates. Post-launch support ensures your system remains secure, functional, and aligned with your evolving business requirements - critical for financial and operational systems where downtime has direct business impact.

### How do I start a web application development project with WebApp Nepal?

Contact WebApp Nepal with a description of the problem you are solving or the operational process you want to digitise. We start with a discovery call - typically one to two hours - where we ask detailed questions about your current workflows, data requirements, user types, compliance obligations, and integration needs. From this we produce a scoped proposal with feature breakdown, timeline, and NPR pricing. For complex systems we recommend a paid discovery phase producing detailed requirements documentation before committing to full development scope.

### Can WebApp Nepal build inventory management software for a Nepal trading company?

Yes. Inventory management systems for Nepal trading companies include: multi-warehouse stock tracking, purchase order management and goods receipt, item-level batch and expiry tracking (for pharmaceuticals, FMCG), sales order processing and delivery note generation, VAT-compliant invoice generation, automatic reorder alerts when stock falls below defined thresholds, supplier and customer ledger management, and management dashboards showing stock valuation, fast/slow-moving items, and outstanding receivables. Integration with barcode scanners and eSewa/Khalti payment collection is available.
