Why a B2B ordering portal makes sense for Sarh
Sarh is a commercial centre in Chad where around 108,000 people live and shop, and one of the places where we build B2B and wholesale portals for local businesses.
Businesses here work in cotton, sugar, trade and agriculture; many are based around the Sarh market and the sugar-industry zone.
Logistics are supported by The Sarh–Moundou road and the Chari river, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Chad’s urban shoppers in N’Djamena are increasingly mobile-money users, and oil, livestock and trade companies need better systems to sell and track orders. Stores that handle local logistics gain trust.
That is why more companies in Sarh 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 Sarh project
A store that works in Sarh respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks Central African CFA franc: XAF amounts from product page to invoice, so Sarh buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
Content can be produced in French and Arabic, so a Sarh customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as Airtel Money and Moov Money (Tigo) and Chad Post sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .td where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +235 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Talent and partners nearby
With Local colleges close by, finding people to manage catalogues, content and support after launch is realistic in Sarh.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
Sarh businesses tell us what they sell and how they want to sell it; our engineers turn that into a custom B2B ordering portal, an admin system and a mobile app shaped around their operations.
In Sarh we typically work with wholesalers, FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers and electrical and hardware traders, and with sellers in categories such as livestock and food, phones and electronics, fashion and building materials that have strong online demand in Chad.
Before any commitment you get a free requirements meeting, a demo built on your use case and a proposal priced to your 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. Shipping rules can use Chad Post, DHL and Local couriers as well as your own delivery staff in Sarh.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Inventory can sit in Sarh, in a partner warehouse or across Chad, with click-and-collect where customers want it.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Reports show which products, customers and areas of Sarh drive revenue.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Pages, search filters and wording are tuned to how people in Sarh look for products, in French and Arabic if your audience needs it.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Sarh team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Checkout is configured for Airtel Money, Moov Money (Tigo) and cash on delivery.
Getting paid online in Sarh
A B2B ordering portal for Sarh must support the way people here actually pay: Airtel Money, Moov Money (Tigo), cash on delivery, bank transfer and Visa and Mastercard (limited).
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 Central African CFA franc (XAF).
For Sarh customers ordering from the Sarh market and the sugar-industry zone, cash-on-delivery and pay-on-pickup rules can be set per delivery zone.
- Airtel Money
- Visa and Mastercard (limited)
- Moov Money (Tigo)
- Bank transfer
- Cash on delivery
Delivery and fulfilment from Sarh
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Chad Post, DHL, Local couriers, Bus-line parcels and Cameroon-corridor freight, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Sarh.
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 — The Sarh–Moundou road and the Chari river — makes regional and national dispatch from Sarh practical.
Selling online legally in Chad
On tax: Chad charges 18% VAT, with a simplified regime for small businesses and CEMAC rules.
Customer data is handled with Law No. 007/PR/2015 on the protection of personal data, overseen by the ANSICE agency in mind, and the storefront follows the Consumer Protection Law and CEMAC rules.
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 Chad.
Marketplaces vs. your own B2B ordering portal in Sarh
Selling in Sarh through Facebook Marketplace, Jumia (regional) and WhatsApp shops gets you reach quickly, yet the buyer belongs to the platform, not to you.
NNT Mart gives you a channel you own: your domain, your customer list, your pricing and your brand. Where it helps, we connect product feeds and orders from marketplaces so stock stays in sync and your team works from one dashboard.
Who we build for in Sarh
Popular online categories in Chad include livestock and food, phones and electronics, fashion, building materials, oil-sector supplies and cosmetics. Local demand in Sarh is shaped by cotton, sugar, trade and agriculture, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Sarh, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for wholesalers in Sarh, connected to the systems you already use.
FMCG distributors
FMCG distributors get contract pricing plus quotes and approvals workflows tailored to their operations.
Industrial suppliers
We map how industrial suppliers sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Electrical and hardware traders
For electrical and hardware traders, we usually start with credit and payments, then add warehouse and inventory systems once orders are flowing.
Medical and institutional suppliers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for medical and institutional suppliers in Sarh, connected to the systems you already use.
Dealer networks
Dealer networks get sales-team tools plus contract pricing workflows tailored to their operations.
Take your Sarh store onto customers' phones
In Sarh, 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.
Order alerts, offers and abandoned-cart reminders go out on Sarh time (UTC+1), in French and Arabic if you want.
- CRM and lead management
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- Credit and payment gateways
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- Logistics and freight partners
- BI and reporting tools
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 Sarh
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a B2B ordering portal in Sarh:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for XAF, Airtel Money and Chad Post from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Sarh 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.
Working with our team from Sarh
Our team covers UTC+1 — 4h 30m behind India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Sarh client always reaches someone during the local working day.
Project communication is in English; storefront content can be produced in Arabic and French. You get a named lead, direct engineer access and an NDA if you ask.
Our head office is in Chhapi, Gujarat, with an office in Hyderabad and representation in Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia and Zambia; Sarh clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
