To support the modernization of border operations, Swisscontact sought a comprehensive baseline assessment to understand existing procedures, identify bottlenecks, and evaluate the readiness of stakeholders for digital transformation and e-payment adoption. Inspira&#8217;s Approach Inspira Advisory &amp; Consulting Ltd. conducted a comprehensive baseline study of border management procedures at Bhomra Land Port as part of the Bangladesh Trade Facilitation Project (BTFP). The study combined business process analysis, stakeholder mapping, time-cost assessments, workflow diagnostics, and digital readiness evaluation to generate a detailed understanding of operational challenges and opportunities for digitization.

Mapped end-to-end trade and border management procedures across multiple stakeholder groups. Identified key inefficiencies affecting traders, C&amp;F agents, transport operators, importers, exporters, and SMEs. Evaluated multiple e-payment models and digital transaction options to support service modernization. Generated actionable recommendations for digital service design, institutional coordination, and capacity development. Provided stakeholders with a roadmap for transitioning from manual processes to more efficient, technology-enabled border operations.
