Why Szombathely businesses are investing in B2B and wholesale portals
Szombathely is a city with county rights in western transdanubia, hungary, home to about 76,000 people, and one of the markets in Hungary where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
Western Hungary city near the Austrian border — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Hungary has SMEs make up 99% of all businesses in the European Union (European Commission). Hungary has a lively online market with strong use of pickup lockers such as Foxpost. Real-time NAV invoice reporting must be built into order processing.
For a business in Szombathely, 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.
What makes a Szombathely store feel local
Conversion in Szombathely depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
Prices, taxes, shipping and refunds are shown in Hungarian forint (HUF), formatted the way Szombathely customers read them.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Hungarian, so a Szombathely customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as Visa and Mastercard and SimplePay and Magyar Posta sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
A .hu domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +36, so a customer in Szombathely taps once to call or message.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
Whatever your business sells in Szombathely, 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 Hungary — electronics, fashion, home and garden and beauty — get catalogue structures and filters designed for them.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
Core modules we build for Szombathely clients
These are the building blocks of a B2B ordering portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Szombathely operation needs.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Stock can be held in Szombathely or anywhere in Hungary, with pickup and local-delivery options where they make sense.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Dashboards break sales down by product, customer and neighbourhood of Szombathely, so you see what to promote.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Storefront language, imagery and navigation are set up for Szombathely shoppers and available in Hungarian.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Szombathely teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Payment steps are built around Visa and Mastercard, SimplePay and cash on delivery (utánvét), the options shoppers here already trust.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Shipping rules can use Magyar Posta, GLS Hungary and Foxpost as well as your own delivery staff in Szombathely.

How Szombathely customers pay online
A store that serves Szombathely should let customers pay the way they do offline: Visa and Mastercard, SimplePay, cash on delivery (utánvét) and Google Pay and Apple Pay.
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 Hungarian forint (HUF).
- Bank transfer
- SimplePay
- Visa and Mastercard
- Google Pay and Apple Pay
- Cash on delivery (utánvét)
Shipping, couriers and local delivery in Szombathely
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Magyar Posta, GLS Hungary, Foxpost, Packeta, DPD and Express One, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Szombathely.
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.
Marketplaces vs. your own B2B ordering portal in Szombathely
Many Szombathely sellers already list on eMAG.hu, Árukereső, Jófogás, Media Markt, Alza.hu and Temu. Those channels bring traffic, but they also take commission, control the customer relationship and change rules without notice.
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.
Selling online legally in Hungary
On tax: Hungarian VAT (ÁFA) is 27% standard, one of the highest in the EU, with 18% and 5% reduced rates; real-time invoice reporting to NAV is required.
On privacy we design around the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules on cookies and marketing consent, enforced by NAIH; 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 Government Decree 45/2014 on consumer contracts.
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 Hungary.
Take your Szombathely store onto customers' phones
Phones carry most traffic in Hungary. 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 Szombathely time (UTC+2), in Hungarian if you want.
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- CRM and lead management
- Credit and payment gateways
- Logistics and freight partners
- BI and reporting tools
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
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 Szombathely
Value first, depth later. For a B2B ordering portal serving Szombathely, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for HUF, Visa and Mastercard and Magyar Posta from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Szombathely 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 Szombathely results are visible, not promised.
