The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has launched its online-based membership management system to make registration procedures easy, faster and more convenient for factories.
The online-based system will also help the existing members of the apex apparel makers' body to easily manage their membership information online, says a statement.
It said BGMEA President Faruque Hassan inaugurated the digital "BGMEA Membership Management System" (MSS) at a programme at its headquarters in the city's Uttara on Tuesday.
From now on, anyone can apply for BGMEA membership online at http://bgmeamember.com/ and submit required documents and make online payments.
Besides, existing registered member factories will be able to update their membership information online, make payment and generate e-certificate of their membership, added the statement.
Speaking at the event, Mr Hassan said the world is experiencing a digital revolution and there is no alternative to evolving with the available technologies to keep pace with the changes and remain competitive in the global market.
He said BGMEA has taken several initiatives to digitise services for its members, including workers' biometric database and UD automation to ensure quick, efficient and smooth services to all member factories which bring billions of dollars for Bangladesh as export earnings.
He also said the digital repository can be utilised to design significant interventions and to formulate policies for the workers' well-being.
