The case for a B2B ordering portal in Portoviejo
Portoviejo is a commercial centre in Ecuador where around 244,000 people live and shop, and one of the places where we build B2B and wholesale portals for local businesses.
Manabí provincial capital — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Ecuador is dollarised, which removes currency risk for foreign brands. Guayaquil and Quito together hold most online buyers.
That is why more companies in Portoviejo 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.
Localised for Portoviejo, not translated into it
A store that works in Portoviejo 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 US dollar (USD), formatted the way Portoviejo customers read them.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Spanish, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
Badges for Visa and Mastercard and Payphone, Servientrega Ecuador delivery and clear return terms reassure first-time buyers in Portoviejo.
Domain, phone and contact
A .ec domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +593 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
A B2B ordering portal built around your Portoviejo business
Every NNT Mart B2B ordering portal in Portoviejo 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 Ecuador — electronics, fashion, home and beauty — 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 Portoviejo clients
Nothing here is fixed: modules are switched on, reshaped or built from scratch around how your Portoviejo business sells.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Dashboards break sales down by product, customer and neighbourhood of Portoviejo, so you see what to promote.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Content and design can follow how customers in Portoviejo search and buy, including Spanish where you need it.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Portoviejo team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Checkout is configured for Visa and Mastercard, Payphone and DeUna.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Delivery can be booked through Servientrega Ecuador, Tramaco Express and Laar Courier or dispatched by your own riders around Portoviejo.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Inventory can sit in Portoviejo, in a partner warehouse or across Ecuador, with click-and-collect where customers want it.
Getting paid online in Portoviejo
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In Ecuador, customers expect to pay with Visa and Mastercard, Payphone and DeUna, and many also look for bank transfer, Datafast and Kushki gateways and cash on delivery.
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 USD — card details stay with the provider.
- Bank transfer
- Payphone
- Datafast and Kushki gateways
- DeUna
- Cash on delivery

Shipping, couriers and local delivery in Portoviejo
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Servientrega Ecuador, Tramaco Express, Laar Courier, Correos del Ecuador and DHL, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Portoviejo.
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.
Compliance built into your B2B ordering portal
On tax: Ecuadorian IVA is 15% (since April 2024), and SRI electronic invoicing is mandatory.
Customer data is handled with the Organic Law on Personal Data Protection (LOPDP) 2021 in mind, and the storefront follows the Organic Law on Consumer Defence and the Electronic Commerce Law.
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 Ecuador.
Portoviejo sellers: marketplace plus your own store
Selling in Portoviejo through Mercado Libre, De Prati and Comandato 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.
Industries in Portoviejo we work with
Popular online categories in Ecuador include electronics, fashion, home, beauty, groceries and sports. Manabí provincial capital — which shapes what local businesses need online. In Portoviejo, 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 Portoviejo, 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.
Android and iOS apps for your Portoviejo business
Phones carry most traffic in Ecuador. 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.
Apps are published under your own developer accounts and share the same backend as your B2B ordering portal, so offers, stock and orders are always consistent between web and mobile.
Order alerts, offers and abandoned-cart reminders go out on Portoviejo time (UTC−5), in Spanish if you want.
- CRM and lead management
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Logistics and freight partners
- BI and reporting tools
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- Credit and payment gateways
- 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 Portoviejo
Value first, depth later. For a B2B ordering portal serving Portoviejo, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for USD, Visa and Mastercard and Servientrega Ecuador from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Portoviejo 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.
