The case for a B2B ordering portal in Olomouc
Olomouc is a commercial centre in Czech Republic where around 103,000 people live and shop, and one of the places where we build B2B and wholesale portals for local businesses.
Businesses here work in universities and healthcare; many are based around the city centre and Science Park.
Logistics are supported by Rail links, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
The Czech Republic has SMEs make up 99% of all businesses in the European Union (European Commission). Czechia has one of Europe's highest numbers of online shops per capita and very price-aware buyers who compare on Heureka. Packeta pickup points and cash on delivery are still popular.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Olomouc already compare options on their phones; a B2B ordering portal that loads fast, shows accurate stock and accepts Visa and Mastercard turns that research into orders.
Localised for Olomouc, not translated into it
A store that works in Olomouc respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks Czech koruna: CZK amounts from product page to invoice, so Olomouc buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
We localise pages, emails and notifications into Czech where your audience needs it.
Local trust signals
Badges for Visa and Mastercard and instant bank transfers (GoPay, ComGate), Česká pošta delivery and clear return terms reassure first-time buyers in Olomouc.
Domain, phone and contact
A .cz domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +420 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Talent and partners nearby
With Palacký University close by, finding people to manage catalogues, content and support after launch is realistic in Olomouc.
Custom-built for how you sell in Olomouc
We do not hand Olomouc businesses a ready-made theme: we study how you sell, then build the online platform and Android/iOS app your customers and staff actually need.
Typical clients include FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers, electrical and hardware traders and medical and institutional suppliers. Categories that sell especially well online in the Czech Republic — electronics, groceries, cosmetics and fashion — 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.
Core modules we build for Olomouc clients
These are the building blocks of a B2B ordering portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Olomouc operation needs.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Content and design can follow how customers in Olomouc search and buy, including Czech where you need it.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Olomouc teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Payment steps are built around Visa and Mastercard, instant bank transfers (GoPay, ComGate) and cash on delivery (dobírka), the options shoppers here already trust.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Delivery can be booked through Česká pošta, Zásilkovna (Packeta) and PPL or dispatched by your own riders around Olomouc.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Inventory can sit in Olomouc, in a partner warehouse or across Czech Republic, with click-and-collect where customers want it.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Olomouc guide stock and marketing decisions.
Payments customers in Olomouc expect
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In the Czech Republic, customers expect to pay with Visa and Mastercard, instant bank transfers (GoPay, ComGate) and cash on delivery (dobírka), and many also look for Apple Pay and Twisto/Skip Pay.
Provider approval, settlement time and fees differ by business type, so we shortlist gateways with you, then wire up status updates, refunds and reconciliation in CZK — card details stay with the provider.
Zone-based payment rules let you offer different options for the city centre than for outer parts of Olomouc.
- Cash on delivery (dobírka)
- Twisto/Skip Pay
- Apple Pay
- Visa and Mastercard
- Instant bank transfers (GoPay, ComGate)
Fulfilment options for Olomouc orders
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Česká pošta, Zásilkovna (Packeta), PPL, DPD and GLS, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Olomouc.
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 — Rail links — makes regional and national dispatch from Olomouc practical.
Selling online legally in the Czech Republic
On tax: Czech VAT (DPH) is 21% standard and 12% reduced.
On privacy we design around the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules on cookies and marketing consent, enforced by ÚOOÚ; on consumer rights the store reflects the EU Consumer Rights Directive (14-day withdrawal right), the Digital Services Act and, from June 2025, the European Accessibility Act for online shops and the Czech Civil Code consumer provisions.
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 Olomouc.
Marketplaces vs. your own B2B ordering portal in Olomouc
For a Olomouc business, Alza.cz, Mall.cz, Heureka and Rohlik 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.
Industries in Olomouc we work with
Popular online categories in the Czech Republic include electronics, groceries, cosmetics, fashion, home and sports. Local demand in Olomouc is shaped by universities and healthcare, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Olomouc, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
For wholesalers, we usually start with contract pricing, then add ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho) once orders are flowing.
FMCG distributors
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for FMCG distributors in Olomouc, connected to the systems you already use.
Industrial suppliers
Industrial suppliers get quick and bulk ordering plus credit and payments workflows tailored to their operations.
Electrical and hardware traders
We map how electrical and hardware traders sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Medical and institutional suppliers
For medical and institutional suppliers, we usually start with sales-team tools, then add credit and payment gateways once orders are flowing.
Dealer networks
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for dealer networks in Olomouc, connected to the systems you already use.
Add a mobile app for Olomouc customers
Phones carry most traffic in the Czech Republic. 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+2 so offers reach Olomouc customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Czech.
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- Logistics and freight partners
- BI and reporting tools
- Credit and payment gateways
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- 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.
A phased launch plan for Olomouc
Value first, depth later. For a B2B ordering portal serving Olomouc, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for CZK, Visa and Mastercard and Česká pošta from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Olomouc 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.
Time zones, language and support
Olomouc runs on UTC+2, which is 3h 30m behind India (IST). With three 8-hour shifts we are available 24×7, so meetings, demos and urgent fixes happen in your working hours.
Project communication is in English; storefront content can be produced in Czech. 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; Olomouc clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
