Why a B2B ordering portal makes sense for Chattogram
Chattogram is a second-largest city in bangladesh, home to about 3.2 million people, and one of the markets in Bangladesh where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
The local economy is driven by main seaport and export processing zones, and commercial activity concentrates around Agrabad and the EPZ.
Logistics are supported by Chattogram port, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Bangladesh has a huge young population and a fast-growing Facebook-led commerce culture moving to proper stores. bKash and Nagad wallets plus COD are essential.
That is why more companies in Chattogram are moving from phone, WhatsApp and spreadsheet orders to a proper B2B ordering portal — one place where products, prices, payments, orders and customers are managed together.
Local details we build into every Chattogram project
A store that works in Chattogram respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
Everything a Chattogram shopper sees — price, tax, delivery fee, refund — is in BDT, written the local way.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Bengali and English, so a Chattogram customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as bKash and Nagad and Pathao Courier sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
A .bd domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +880 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Talent and partners nearby
Chattogram draws on University of Chittagong, which means plenty of local staff, interns and technology partners to run the store after launch.
A B2B ordering portal built around your Chattogram business
Every NNT Mart B2B ordering portal in Chattogram is engineered to the client's own brief — the web platform, the admin panel and, when you need one, a mobile application built for your workflow.
Typical clients include FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers, electrical and hardware traders and medical and institutional suppliers. Categories that sell especially well online in Bangladesh — fashion and garments, electronics and mobiles, groceries and books — get catalogue structures and filters designed for them.
Before any commitment you get a free requirements meeting, a demo built on your use case and a proposal priced to your budget.
Features of your B2B ordering portal in Chattogram
These are the building blocks of a B2B ordering portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Chattogram operation needs.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Catalogues come in from spreadsheets, ERP exports or supplier feeds, so your Chattogram team keeps its current way of working.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Customers in Chattogram can pay with bKash, Nagad and Rocket, with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Shipping rules can use Pathao Courier, RedX and Steadfast as well as your own delivery staff in Chattogram.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Inventory can sit in Chattogram, in a partner warehouse or across Bangladesh, with click-and-collect where customers want it.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Reports show which products, customers and areas of Chattogram drive revenue.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Content and design can follow how customers in Chattogram search and buy, including Bengali and English where you need it.
Getting paid online in Chattogram
Shoppers in Chattogram rarely abandon a cart over price alone — they leave when their usual method is missing. Here that means bKash, Nagad and Rocket, then cash on delivery, Visa and Mastercard and SSLCommerz gateway.
Gateway selection depends on your category and merchant approval; we connect the provider, reconcile payments, automate retries and refunds, and never store raw card data. Prices, taxes and refunds appear in Bangladeshi taka (BDT).
Business buyers around Agrabad often want invoices or bank transfer, while consumers lean on bKash. We support both flows.
- Visa and Mastercard
- Rocket
- BKash
- Nagad
- SSLCommerz gateway
- Cash on delivery
Delivery and fulfilment from Chattogram
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Pathao Courier, RedX, Steadfast, Paperfly, Sundarban Courier and Bangladesh Post, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Chattogram.
Delivery rules can price by distance, weight, postcode or zone, offer same-day slots in dense areas, and switch on pickup points or click-and-collect where customers prefer them.
Connectivity in the area — Chattogram port — makes regional and national dispatch from Chattogram practical.
Compliance built into your B2B ordering portal
Bangladesh VAT is 15% standard with reduced rates on some goods, administered by the National Board of Revenue.
On privacy we design around the Personal Data Protection Ordinance 2025 together with the Cyber Security Ordinance; on consumer rights the store reflects the Consumer Rights Protection Act 2009 and the National Digital Commerce Guidelines, which govern advance payments and delivery times.
We build the technical controls — tax-inclusive pricing, compliant invoices, consent banners, terms and return pages, data-access roles and audit logs. We are not a law firm, so final legal and tax positions should be confirmed with your own adviser in Bangladesh.
Marketplaces vs. your own B2B ordering portal in Chattogram
Selling in Chattogram through Daraz, Chaldal and Rokomari gets you reach quickly, yet the buyer belongs to the platform, not to you.
With your own B2B ordering portal you keep the customer data, set the offers and the packaging, and still push stock to marketplaces from a single admin.
Who we build for in Chattogram
Popular online categories in Bangladesh include fashion and garments, electronics and mobiles, groceries, books, beauty and home. Local demand in Chattogram is shaped by main seaport and export processing zones, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Chattogram, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
We map how wholesalers sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
FMCG distributors
For FMCG distributors, we usually start with quick and bulk ordering, then add accounting and e-invoicing once orders are flowing.
Industrial suppliers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for industrial suppliers in Chattogram, connected to the systems you already use.
Electrical and hardware traders
Electrical and hardware traders get quotes and approvals plus sales-team tools workflows tailored to their operations.
Medical and institutional suppliers
We map how medical and institutional suppliers sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Dealer networks
For dealer networks, we usually start with business accounts, then add logistics and freight partners once orders are flowing.
Add a mobile app for Chattogram customers
In Chattogram, shoppers browse on phones first. A dealer and sales-representative app lets buyers re-order in seconds, scan products, check statements and receive scheme announcements, while reps take orders at the counter even with patchy connectivity.
One backend serves the website and the apps, and the apps ship under your own Google Play and App Store accounts — so what you change once appears everywhere.
Push notifications can be timed to UTC+6 so offers reach Chattogram customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Bengali and English.
- BI and reporting tools
- Logistics and freight partners
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- Credit and payment gateways
- CRM and lead management
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
Launch roadmap and success metrics
Value first, depth later. For a B2B ordering portal serving Chattogram, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for BDT, bKash and Pathao Courier from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Chattogram customers actually buy. |
Success is measured on order-entry time, share of orders placed online, order accuracy, days sales outstanding, repeat-order frequency and sales-rep productivity — tracked on a dashboard you can see from launch day.
