Managing Bangladesh’s vast agricultural landscape — spanning 14 regions, 64 districts, 495 upazilas, and 4,500+ union & block units — once meant mountains of paper, weeks of reporting delays, and farmers left waiting for critical advice. TechnoVista Limited changed that.
TechnoVista Limited designed, developed, and deployed the Quality Information System (QIS) — a nationwide web and mobile-based platform that automates real-time data collection for DAE, streamlining everything from grassroots reporting to secure national data compilation. The system went live on qis.dae.gov.bd in December 2025 and is now the national standard for agricultural data governance in Bangladesh.
The Challenge
Before QIS, DAE’s data cycle was paper-based and fragmented. Field information from remote unions and blocks took weeks — sometimes months — to reach central decision-makers. There was no real-time visibility into crop production, fertilizer stock, or seed demand. Farmers needing urgent advice on crop disease had to travel to distant offices and wait, often losing entire yields while doing so.

The Solution: Quality Information System (QIS)
TechnoVista architected QIS as an API-first, microservices-based platform — React on the web, React Native on mobile, PostgreSQL at the core — built to function even in connectivity-poor rural areas through offline-first mobile apps with auto-sync. The result is a unified ecosystem connecting block-level field officers to national headquarters, all in real time.
Core Modules
🌾 Crop Intelligence
Tracks seasonal planting, production targets, and yield — enabling national food security forecasting and import management.
🌱 Seed & Fertilizer Management
Automated variety-wise demand generation, dealer stock monitoring, and allocation tracking to prevent misuse of national resources.
💧 Irrigation Monitoring
Tracks equipment inventory and monthly fuel demand, ensuring resources reach farmers who need them most.
👨🌾 Farmers’ Prescription
Connects farmers with their local SAAO for instant digital advisory — pesticide, mineral, and fertilizer recommendations via audio and video.
🌦️ Weather Monitoring
Integrates BMD rainfall and temperature data to deliver union-level alerts directly to field offices and farmers before disasters strike.
📊 PMIS & Training MIS
Tracks DLI targets, procurement, training programs, and project progress in real time for full World Bank compliance.
🌳 Nursery Registration
Online registration and QR-based license verification bring transparency to nursery licensing and government services.
🔗 Interoperability
Integrated with DAM (market prices), BARI’s Khamari App (soil health), BAMIS/BMD (weather), and BBS (national statistics).
The “Digital Doctor” in Every Farmer’s Pocket
Citizen Impact Story
A farmer in rural Bangladesh facing crop disease used to travel miles to the upazila office, wait days for an officer’s availability, and receive generalized advice — all while watching crops fail. The result: yield loss, mounting costs, and eroded trust in extension services.
Today, through QIS, that same farmer connects instantly with their local Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officer (SAAO) via mobile. They receive a personalized digital prescription — specific pesticide dosage, mineral recommendations, treatment timing — without leaving their field. Early weather alerts let them prepare for floods and droughts before damage occurs. Fertilizer and seed availability is transparent and trackable, reducing black-market diversions.
QIS has turned every SAAO into a digital doctor on call for the farmers in their block.
Nationwide Rollout & Capacity Building
TechnoVista didn’t just deliver code — we delivered capacity. Following successful UAT sessions and field pilots in Bogura, the team conducted onsite training for over 1,000 agricultural officers across all 14 regions and 495 upazilas before the December 2025 go-live. Coverage extended from national headquarters officials down to union and block level — ensuring the system is not only deployed but actively used.
Over 8,000 SAAOs are already registered on the platform, with the full target of 14,000 officers onboarded as the system matures.
Impact & Outcomes
- Real-time decision-making capability enabled from the field to the national headquarters for the first time
- Reporting time reduced from weeks to near real-time, dramatically improving policy responsiveness
- Transparent, demand-driven fertilizer and seed allocation — reducing waste and black-market diversions
- Millions of farmers with instant access to expert advisory through 14,000+ connected SAAOs
- Improved national food security planning through accurate crop production forecasting
- Strengthened monitoring and accountability for World Bank DLI targets under the PARTNER Program
- Climate-resilient agriculture supported through integrated early-warning weather alerts
- A replicable model for digital agricultural transformation across the developing world
“TechnoVista Limited is a highly competent and qualified organization. Their team demonstrated sound technical expertise, consistently delivering well-tested, quality software. The system was designed, developed, and implemented within the stipulated timeline.”

A Blueprint for Smart Agriculture
QIS is no longer just a project — it is mainstreamed within DAE as the national standard for agricultural data governance. With continuous support, a live helpdesk, and a roadmap to integrate satellite imagery, IoT sensors, and AI-based yield prediction, Bangladesh is moving toward anticipatory governance where data drives every decision before problems arise.
This initiative stands as a scalable model for digital transformation in agriculture — not only in Bangladesh, but for any developing nation aiming to empower farmers, modernize extension services, and ensure national food security in the face of climate change.
