The case for a B2B ordering portal in Mauritania
Mauritania is a market of about 4.7 million people where B2B and wholesale portals are growing fast, with Nouakchott as its capital.
Mauritania’s fishing and iron-ore economy is concentrated in Nouakchott and Nouadhibou, with mobile wallets such as Bankily leading in digital payments. Arabic and French storefronts serve both markets.
For a business in Mauritania, 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 Mauritania, not translated into it
A store that works in Mauritania respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks Mauritanian ouguiya: MRU amounts from product page to invoice, so Mauritania buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
We localise pages, emails and notifications into Arabic, French and Pulaar where your audience needs it.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Mauritania recognise: Bankily and Masrvi and delivery through Mauripost.
Domain, phone and contact
A .mr domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +222, so a customer in Mauritania taps once to call or message.
A B2B ordering portal built around your Mauritania business
If you run a business in Mauritania 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.
Typical clients include FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers, electrical and hardware traders and medical and institutional suppliers. Categories that sell especially well online in Mauritania — fishing and food, mining supplies, fashion and phones — 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.
Features of your B2B ordering portal in Mauritania
These are the building blocks of a B2B ordering portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Mauritania operation needs.
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 Mauritania, 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. Pages, search filters and wording are tuned to how people in Mauritania look for products, in Arabic and French if your audience needs it.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Mauritania teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Checkout is configured for Bankily, Masrvi and Sedad.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Delivery can be booked through Mauripost, DHL and Aramex or dispatched by your own riders around Mauritania.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Multiple stock points in Mauritania are supported, so a Mauritania order ships from the nearest one.
Getting paid online in Mauritania
A B2B ordering portal for Mauritania must support the way people here actually pay: Bankily, Masrvi, Sedad, Visa and Mastercard (limited), cash on delivery and bank transfer.
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 MRU — card details stay with the provider.
- Bankily
- Visa and Mastercard (limited)
- Masrvi
- Bank transfer
- Sedad
- Cash on delivery
Delivery and fulfilment across Mauritania
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Mauripost, DHL, Aramex, Local couriers and Taxi-brousse parcels, or route orders to your own riders and stores.
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.
Compliance built into your B2B ordering portal
Mauritania charges 16% VAT, with a simplified regime for smaller firms.
On privacy we design around Law No. 2017-020 on personal data protection, overseen by the ARE; on consumer rights the store reflects the Consumer Protection Law and the Electronic Commerce Law.
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.
Owning your channel in Mauritania
Many Mauritania sellers already list on Facebook Marketplace, WhatsApp shops, local online classifieds and Local classifieds. Those channels bring traffic, but they also take commission, control the customer relationship and change rules without notice.
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.
Industries in Mauritania we work with
Popular online categories in Mauritania include fishing and food, mining supplies, fashion, phones, building materials and cosmetics. In Mauritania, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:

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 Mauritania, connected to the systems you already use.

Medical and institutional suppliers get credit and payments plus business accounts workflows tailored to their operations.
Dealer networks

Take your Mauritania store onto customers' phones
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 Mauritania time (UTC+0), in Arabic and French if you want.
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- CRM and lead management
- Credit and payment gateways
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- BI and reporting tools
- Logistics and freight partners
- 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.
How we phase your B2B ordering portal
Value first, depth later. For a B2B ordering portal serving Mauritania, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for MRU, Bankily and Mauripost from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Mauritania 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 Mauritania results are visible, not promised.
Working with our team from Mauritania
Our team covers UTC+0 — 5h 30m behind India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Mauritania client always reaches someone during the local working day.
We work in English and can deliver storefront content in Arabic and French. 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; clients in Mauritania are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
