The case for a B2B ordering portal in Riga
Riga is a capital and largest city of latvia, with a population of roughly 589,000, and one of the markets in Latvia where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
Businesses here work in logistics, finance, ICT, retail and shared services; many are based around Riga Old Town, Centrs and the Skanstes business district.
Logistics are supported by Riga Airport, the Freeport of Riga and Rail Baltica, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Latvia has SMEs make up 99% of all businesses in the European Union (European Commission). Latvia sits between Baltic neighbours with a similar shopper profile: bank-link payment, locker delivery and bilingual Latvian/Russian customers. Local brands use webshops to reach the wider Baltic and Nordic region.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Riga 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.
What makes a Riga store feel local
A store that works in Riga respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks euro: EUR amounts from product page to invoice, so Riga buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Latvian, Russian and English, so a Riga customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Riga recognise: Visa and Mastercard and Latvian bank links (Swedbank, SEB, Luminor) and delivery through Latvijas Pasts.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .lv where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Contact buttons are pre-set with +371, so a customer in Riga taps once to call or message.
Talent and partners nearby
With University of Latvia, Riga Technical University and the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga close by, finding people to manage catalogues, content and support after launch is realistic in Riga.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
We do not hand Riga 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.
In Riga we typically work with wholesalers, FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers and electrical and hardware traders, and with sellers in categories such as electronics, fashion, home and DIY and cosmetics and wellness that have strong online demand in Latvia.
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 Riga
These are the building blocks of a B2B ordering portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Riga operation needs.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Stock can be held in Riga or anywhere in Latvia, 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. Reports show which products, customers and areas of Riga drive revenue.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Content and design can follow how customers in Riga search and buy, including Latvian and Russian where you need it.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Riga team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
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, Latvian bank links (Swedbank, SEB, Luminor) and Smart-ID, the options shoppers here already trust.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Couriers such as Latvijas Pasts, Omniva and DPD Latvija plug in alongside your own fleet for Riga orders.
Businesses that use NNT Mart in Riga
Popular online categories in Latvia include electronics, fashion, home and DIY, cosmetics and wellness, food and timber and furniture. Local demand in Riga is shaped by logistics, finance, ICT, retail and shared services, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Riga, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for wholesalers in Riga, 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 Riga, connected to the systems you already use.
Dealer networks
Dealer networks get sales-team tools plus contract pricing workflows tailored to their operations.
Payments customers in Riga expect
A B2B ordering portal for Riga must support the way people here actually pay: Visa and Mastercard, Latvian bank links (Swedbank, SEB, Luminor), Smart-ID, Revolut, Apple Pay and Google Pay and Klarna.
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 EUR — card details stay with the provider.
Business buyers around Riga Old Town often want invoices or bank transfer, while consumers lean on Visa and Mastercard. We support both flows.
- Revolut
- Klarna
- Smart-ID
- Visa and Mastercard
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Latvian bank links (Swedbank, SEB, Luminor)
Delivery and fulfilment from Riga
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Latvijas Pasts, Omniva, DPD Latvija, Itella SmartPost, Venipak and parcel lockers, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Riga.
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 — Riga Airport, the Freeport of Riga and Rail Baltica — makes regional and national dispatch from Riga practical.
Owning your channel in Latvia
Selling in Riga through SS.lv, Kurpirkt and Amazon.de 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.
Rules Riga sellers must respect online
On tax: Latvia charges 21% VAT with 12% and 5% reduced rates, and uses the EU One-Stop Shop for B2C distance sales.
Customer data is handled with the GDPR and the Personal Data Processing Law, enforced by the Data State Inspectorate in mind, and the storefront follows the Consumer Rights Protection Law, with 14-day withdrawal and Latvian-language information duties.
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 Riga.
Take your Riga store onto customers' phones
Phones carry most traffic in Latvia. 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 Riga time (UTC+3), in Latvian and Russian if you want.
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- BI and reporting tools
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- CRM and lead management
- Logistics and freight partners
- 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 Riga
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a B2B ordering portal in Riga:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for EUR, Visa and Mastercard and Latvijas Pasts from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Riga 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 Riga results are visible, not promised.
Working with our team from Riga
Our team covers UTC+3 — 2h 30m behind India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Riga client always reaches someone during the local working day.
We work in English and can deliver storefront content in Latvian. NDAs are signed on request, and you get a named project lead plus direct access to the engineers building your B2B ordering portal.
Our head office is in Chhapi, Gujarat, with an office in Hyderabad and representation in Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia and Zambia; Riga clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
