Why a B2B ordering portal makes sense for Zadar
Zadar is a commercial centre in Croatia with a population of roughly 71,000, and one of the places where we build B2B and wholesale portals for local businesses.
The local economy is driven by tourism, shipping, food processing and retail, and commercial activity concentrates around the old town, Bili Brig and the Zadar port.
Logistics are supported by Zadar Airport and Gaženica port, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Croatia has SMEs make up 99% of all businesses in the European Union (European Commission). Croatia’s tourism economy brings millions of visitors who buy local products online after their trip, and eurozone membership removes currency friction for EU buyers. Seasonal peaks reward stores that scale delivery in summer.
For a business in Zadar, the opportunity is to own the customer relationship: your own B2B ordering portal keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.
Local details we build into every Zadar project
A store that works in Zadar respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
Everything a Zadar shopper sees — price, tax, delivery fee, refund — is in EUR, written the local way.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Croatian, English and German, so a Zadar customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
Badges for Visa and Mastercard and bank transfer, Hrvatska pošta delivery and clear return terms reassure first-time buyers in Zadar.
Domain, phone and contact
A .hr domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +385, so a customer in Zadar taps once to call or message.
Talent and partners nearby
Zadar draws on University of Zadar, which means plenty of local staff, interns and technology partners to run the store after launch.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
Whatever your business sells in Zadar, N&T Software designs and develops the B2B ordering portal and the matching mobile app exactly to your requirements — your catalogue, your prices, your payment and delivery rules.
Typical clients include FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers, electrical and hardware traders and medical and institutional suppliers. Categories that sell especially well online in Croatia — tourism products and souvenirs, fashion, electronics and food and wine — 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 Zadar
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. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Zadar team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Payment steps are built around Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer and cash on delivery, the options shoppers here already trust.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Shipping rules can use Hrvatska pošta, GLS Croatia and DPD Croatia as well as your own delivery staff in Zadar.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Inventory can sit in Zadar, in a partner warehouse or across Croatia, 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. Dashboards break sales down by product, customer and neighbourhood of Zadar, so you see what to promote.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Storefront language, imagery and navigation are set up for Zadar shoppers and available in Croatian and English.
Industries in Zadar we work with
Popular online categories in Croatia include tourism products and souvenirs, fashion, electronics, food and wine, sporting goods and home. Local demand in Zadar is shaped by tourism, shipping, food processing and retail, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Zadar, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
Wholesalers get business accounts plus quick and bulk ordering workflows tailored to their operations.
FMCG distributors
We map how FMCG distributors sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Industrial suppliers
For industrial suppliers, we usually start with quotes and approvals, then add CRM and lead management once orders are flowing.
Electrical and hardware traders
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for electrical and hardware traders in Zadar, connected to the systems you already use.
Medical and institutional suppliers
Medical and institutional suppliers get credit and payments plus business accounts workflows tailored to their operations.
Dealer networks
We map how dealer networks sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
How Zadar customers pay online
Shoppers in Zadar rarely abandon a cart over price alone — they leave when their usual method is missing. Here that means Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer and cash on delivery, then PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay and Revolut.
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 euro (EUR).
For Zadar customers ordering from the old town, Bili Brig and the Zadar port, cash-on-delivery and pay-on-pickup rules can be set per delivery zone.
- Revolut
- Visa and Mastercard
- Cash on delivery
- Bank transfer
- PayPal
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
Delivery and fulfilment from Zadar
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Hrvatska pošta, GLS Croatia, DPD Croatia, Overseas Express, Box Now lockers and HP Express, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Zadar.
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 — Zadar Airport and Gaženica port — makes regional and national dispatch from Zadar practical.
Zadar sellers: marketplace plus your own store
Selling in Zadar through Njuškalo, Konzum online and eKupi 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.
Compliance built into your B2B ordering portal
Croatia charges 25% VAT, with 13% and 5% reduced rates, and uses the EU One-Stop Shop for B2C distance sales; it adopted the euro in 2023.
Two frameworks shape the build: the GDPR, enforced by the Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency (AZOP), and the Consumer Protection Act and the Electronic Commerce Act, with 14-day withdrawal rights and Croatian-language pre-contract information.
Our job is the engineering: price display with tax, invoice numbering, cookie and marketing consent, return and terms pages, role-based access and logs. Legal and tax conclusions stay with your own adviser in Croatia.
Add a mobile app for Zadar customers
Phones carry most traffic in Croatia. 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 Zadar time (UTC+2), in Croatian and English if you want.
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- BI and reporting tools
- Credit and payment gateways
- CRM and lead management
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Logistics and freight partners
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 Zadar
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a B2B ordering portal in Zadar:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for EUR, Visa and Mastercard and Hrvatska pošta from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Zadar 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.
How Zadar clients work with us
Our team covers UTC+2 — 3h 30m behind India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Zadar client always reaches someone during the local working day.
Project communication is in English; storefront content can be produced in Croatian. 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; Zadar clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
