Why a B2B ordering portal makes sense for Manaus
Manaus is a capital and largest city of amazonas, brazil, where around 2.3 million people live and shop, and one of the markets in Brazil where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
Key sectors include electronics manufacturing, with business districts such as the Manaus Free Trade Zone (Zona Franca).
Logistics are supported by Manaus Airport and river port, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Brazil has more than 20 million active companies, including millions of MEI micro-entrepreneurs (Mapa de Empresas). Brazil is Latin America's largest e-commerce market, and Pix has become the most used online payment method in just a few years. Portuguese UX, instalments and NF-e integration are non-negotiable.
That is why more companies in Manaus 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.
What makes a Manaus store feel local
A store that works in Manaus respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
Prices, taxes, shipping and refunds are shown in Brazilian real (BRL), formatted the way Manaus customers read them.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Portuguese, so a Manaus customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Manaus recognise: Pix and credit cards with parcelamento (instalments) and delivery through Correios.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .br where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Contact buttons are pre-set with +55, so a customer in Manaus taps once to call or message.
Talent and partners nearby
With Federal University of Amazonas close by, finding people to manage catalogues, content and support after launch is realistic in Manaus.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
If you run a business in Manaus and want to sell online, we build an e-commerce platform and mobile application to your exact requirements, from the first product page to the last delivery update.
In Manaus we typically work with wholesalers, FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers and electrical and hardware traders, and with sellers in categories such as electronics, fashion, beauty and home and furniture that have strong online demand in Brazil.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
What your B2B ordering portal includes
Each module below is configured — or custom-developed — to your requirements. You choose what launches first and what follows in later phases.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Customers in Manaus can pay with Pix, credit cards with parcelamento (instalments) and boleto bancário, with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Delivery can be booked through Correios, Jadlog and Total Express or dispatched by your own riders around Manaus.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Multiple stock points in Brazil are supported, so a Manaus order ships from the nearest one.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Reports show which products, customers and areas of Manaus drive revenue.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Content and design can follow how customers in Manaus search and buy, including Portuguese where you need it.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Catalogues come in from spreadsheets, ERP exports or supplier feeds, so your Manaus team keeps its current way of working.
Who we build for in Manaus
Popular online categories in Brazil include electronics, fashion, beauty, home and furniture, health and pharmacy and pet products. Local demand in Manaus is shaped by electronics manufacturing, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Manaus, 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 Manaus, 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.
Payments customers in Manaus expect
A store that serves Manaus should let customers pay the way they do offline: Pix, credit cards with parcelamento (instalments), boleto bancário and Mercado Pago.
We integrate suitable gateways and providers for your business category and merchant eligibility, handle payment status, failed-payment retries and refunds, and keep sensitive card data with the provider rather than on your servers. All amounts are shown in Brazilian real (BRL).
Business buyers around the Manaus Free Trade Zone (Zona Franca) often want invoices or bank transfer, while consumers lean on Pix. We support both flows.
- Pix
- PicPay
- Apple Pay
- Credit cards with parcelamento (instalments)
- Boleto bancário
- Mercado Pago
Shipping, couriers and local delivery in Manaus
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Correios, Jadlog, Total Express, Loggi, Mercado Envios and Azul Cargo, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Manaus.
We set up shipping zones, cut-off times, free-shipping thresholds, cash-collection rules and returns so the promise on the product page matches what your team can deliver.
Connectivity in the area — Manaus Airport and river port — makes regional and national dispatch from Manaus practical.
Your own store alongside Mercado Livre and Amazon.com.br
For a Manaus business, Mercado Livre, Amazon.com.br, Magazine Luiza and Americanas are useful shop windows — but fees, ranking changes and shared customer data limit how far you can grow on them alone.
Your B2B ordering portal becomes the hub: marketplaces and social shops become extra outlets fed from one catalogue, while repeat customers buy directly from you at better margins.
Tax, invoicing and compliance in Brazil
Brazil levies ICMS (state), IPI, PIS and COFINS on goods, with the 2023 tax reform phasing in the dual VAT (CBS and IBS) from 2026 to 2033; NF-e electronic invoices are mandatory.
On privacy we design around the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), enforced by the ANPD; on consumer rights the store reflects the Código de Defesa do Consumidor (CDC) and the e-commerce decree 7.962/2013, including a 7-day right of withdrawal.
Controls we implement include compliant invoices, consent capture, policy pages, restricted staff access and audit trails. Please confirm the final legal and tax position with a local adviser in Manaus.
Android and iOS apps for your Manaus business
In Manaus, 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−3 so offers reach Manaus customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Portuguese.
- BI and reporting tools
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Logistics and freight partners
- Credit and payment gateways
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- CRM and lead management
- Warehouse and inventory systems
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
From first demo to growth in Manaus
Value first, depth later. For a B2B ordering portal serving Manaus, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for BRL, Pix and Correios from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Manaus customers actually buy. |
We track order-entry time, share of orders placed online, order accuracy, days sales outstanding, repeat-order frequency and sales-rep productivity on a live dashboard from day one, so Manaus results are visible, not promised.
Support hours and communication for Manaus
Our team covers UTC−3 — 8h 30m behind India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Manaus client always reaches someone during the local working day.
We work in English and can deliver storefront content in Portuguese. NDAs are signed on request, and you get a named project lead plus direct access to the engineers building your B2B ordering portal.
Our head office is in Chhapi, Gujarat, with an office in Hyderabad and representation in Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia and Zambia; Manaus clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
