Why a B2B ordering portal makes sense for Eschen
Eschen is a municipality in unterland, liechtenstein, home to about 4,459 people, and one of the markets in Liechtenstein where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
Businesses here work in machinery, logistics and light industry; many are based around the Eschen–Nendeln industrial area.
Logistics are supported by Border road links to Austria, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Liechtenstein’s businesses are small in number but globally active exporters, so online B2B ordering matters as much as consumer retail. Swiss-franc pricing and German-language service are standard.
For a business in Eschen, 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.
Localised for Eschen, not translated into it
A store that works in Eschen 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 Swiss franc (CHF), formatted the way Eschen customers read them.
Language and content
We localise pages, emails and notifications into German and English where your audience needs it.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as Visa and Mastercard and TWINT (cross-border Swiss users) and Swiss Post (Die Post) sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
A .li domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +423 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Talent and partners nearby
With Local trade schools close by, finding people to manage catalogues, content and support after launch is realistic in Eschen.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
If you run a business in Eschen and want to sell online, we build an e-commerce platform and mobile application to your exact requirements, from the first product page to the last delivery update.
In Eschen we typically work with wholesalers, FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers and electrical and hardware traders, and with sellers in categories such as precision machinery, dental and medical supplies, luxury goods and electronics that have strong online demand in Liechtenstein.
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 Eschen clients
These are the building blocks of a B2B ordering portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Eschen operation needs.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Storefront language, imagery and navigation are set up for Eschen shoppers and available in German and English.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Eschen team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Checkout is configured for Visa and Mastercard, TWINT (cross-border Swiss users) and PayPal.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Delivery can be booked through Swiss Post (Die Post), DHL and UPS or dispatched by your own riders around Eschen.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Stock can be held in Eschen or anywhere in Liechtenstein, with pickup and local-delivery options where they make sense.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Dashboards break sales down by product, customer and neighbourhood of Eschen, so you see what to promote.
Payments customers in Eschen expect
A B2B ordering portal for Eschen must support the way people here actually pay: Visa and Mastercard, TWINT (cross-border Swiss users), PayPal, bank transfer and invoice and Apple Pay and Google 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 CHF — card details stay with the provider.
Business buyers around the Eschen–Nendeln industrial area often want invoices or bank transfer, while consumers lean on Visa and Mastercard. We support both flows.
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Bank transfer and invoice
- TWINT (cross-border Swiss users)
- PayPal
- Visa and Mastercard
Delivery and fulfilment from Eschen
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Swiss Post (Die Post), DHL, UPS, DPD Switzerland and Planzer, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Eschen.
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 — Border road links to Austria — makes regional and national dispatch from Eschen practical.
Selling online legally in Liechtenstein
Tax basics: Liechtenstein shares the Swiss VAT area at 8.1% standard rate (2.6% and 3.8% reduced), so VAT is administered under the customs union with Switzerland.
Customer data is handled with the Liechtenstein Data Protection Act and the EEA GDPR, supervised by the Datenschutzstelle in mind, and the storefront follows the Consumer Protection Act and EEA rules on distance selling and a 14-day withdrawal right.
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 Eschen.
Your own store alongside Ricardo.ch and Galaxus
For a Eschen business, Ricardo.ch, Galaxus, Amazon.de and Zalando are useful shop windows — but fees, ranking changes and shared customer data limit how far you can grow on them alone.
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.
Who we build for in Eschen
Popular online categories in Liechtenstein include precision machinery, dental and medical supplies, luxury goods, electronics, food and wine and financial-services support products. Local demand in Eschen is shaped by machinery, logistics and light industry, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Eschen, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for wholesalers in Eschen, 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 Eschen, connected to the systems you already use.
Dealer networks
Dealer networks get sales-team tools plus contract pricing workflows tailored to their operations.
Android and iOS apps for your Eschen business
Phones carry most traffic in Liechtenstein. 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 Eschen time (UTC+2), in German and English if you want.
- Credit and payment gateways
- CRM and lead management
- Logistics and freight partners
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- BI and reporting tools
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
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 Eschen
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a B2B ordering portal in Eschen:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for CHF, Visa and Mastercard and Swiss Post (Die Post) from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Eschen 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 Eschen results are visible, not promised.
Support hours and communication for Eschen
Our team covers UTC+2 — 3h 30m behind India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Eschen client always reaches someone during the local working day.
Project communication is in English; storefront content can be produced in German. 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; Eschen clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
