Case Study
How JoulesLabs Built BNRP, The Bangladesh Navy Resettlement Platform
Supporting Navy veterans with digital tools for career transition and lifelong connection
The Bangladesh Navy Resettlement Project (BNRP) was initiated to support Navy personnel transitioning from active service to civilian life. For decades, veterans faced challenges in finding relevant jobs, accessing training programs, and staying connected with the Navy community.
JoulesLabs collaborated with the Bangladesh Navy through NKFTCL to design and build a secure digital resettlement platform, helping veterans access jobs, training, and information through one unified mobile and web system.
Challenges & Solutions
Problem Statement
Before BNRP, post-service transition for Navy personnel was fragmented and inefficient. Job postings and training updates were distributed manually, and retired officers had limited visibility into civilian opportunities.
The key challenges included:
- No centralized job or training platform for veterans
- Difficulty translating military experience to civilian job requirements
- Lack of real-time communication between the Navy and its retired personnel
- Security and data sensitivity within a military context
The goal was to build a verified, military-grade system connecting retired personnel to career, training, and community updates while maintaining strict data protection standards.
Approach & Solution
JoulesLabs built BNRP as a mobile-first, military-grade application focused on security, usability, and accessibility.
Core Features
- Job Circulars and Training Programs: Dedicated sections for viewing and applying to verified veteran-friendly opportunities.
- Instant Notifications: Real-time alerts for job openings, training sessions, and official announcements.
- Community Updates: News and gallery modules to help veterans stay connected with the Navy family.
- Admin Control Panel: A custom Django admin system enabling Navy officials to manage users, verify IDs, and publish updates directly.
Security and Verification
BNRP was built and hosted within military infrastructure, validated through two third-party VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) reports. Only verified Navy personnel can access the system via official ID validation and OTP authentication.
Collaboration with the Navy
The JoulesLabs team worked closely with Navy leadership and NKFTCL, ensuring every feature reflected operational realities and institutional workflows.
Impact
BNRP became Bangladesh’s first digital resettlement platform for military veterans, setting a new standard for institutional digital transformation.
