How to choose a software development company in Afghanistan

Start with the work you want to improve. Describe who uses the system, where errors or delays occur, which tools it must connect to, and what a successful first release should let someone do. Give each company the same brief so you can compare the proposals.

Ask to see a comparable system and walk through a real task. For example, if you need retail software, ask how a sale, return, or stock correction is recorded and who can approve it. A demonstration of a similar workflow tells you more than a list of technologies.

Test for your operating conditions. If staff use Dari or Pashto, ask to see right-to-left screens and search, forms, and reports in those languages. Check the experience on the phones and connections staff will actually use. Ask how the system behaves when a connection drops during a transaction.

Compare proposals by deliverables and responsibilities. Look for a first release with clear acceptance criteria, time for user testing, and a plan for data migration. Ask who controls the hosting account, the repository, and backups, and how another team could take over if needed.

Agree on support before launch. Decide who trains staff, how incidents are reported, and what is included after the first release. For ERP and AI projects, ask how the vendor will test permissions, validate outputs, and record who approved important actions.
