The case for a B2B ordering portal in Erdenet
Erdenet is a provincial capital of orkhon province, mongolia, home to about 107,000 people, and one of the markets in Mongolia where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
Key sectors include copper-molybdenum mining and processing, trade and services, with business districts such as the city centre and the Erdenet Mining Corporation area.
Logistics are supported by The Ulaanbaatar–Erdenet road and the rail link, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
About half of Mongolians live in Ulaanbaatar, QPay and bank apps drive cashless payments, and cashmere brands are expanding into international e-commerce. Long distances make courier-network integration vital.
For a business in Erdenet, 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.
Local details we build into every Erdenet project
A store that works in Erdenet respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks Mongolian tögrög: MNT amounts from product page to invoice, so Erdenet buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
We localise pages, emails and notifications into Mongolian, Russian and English where your audience needs it.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as QPay and SocialPay and Mongol Post sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
A .mn domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +976, so a customer in Erdenet taps once to call or message.
Talent and partners nearby
Erdenet draws on Erdenet technical college, which means plenty of local staff, interns and technology partners to run the store after launch.
Custom-built for how you sell in Erdenet
Every NNT Mart B2B ordering portal in Erdenet 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 Mongolia — cashmere and wool, fashion, electronics and food — 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 Erdenet clients
These are the building blocks of a B2B ordering portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Erdenet 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 Erdenet shoppers and available in Mongolian and Russian.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Erdenet teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Checkout is configured for QPay, SocialPay and Visa and Mastercard.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Couriers such as Mongol Post, DHL and Tuk Tuk delivery plug in alongside your own fleet for Erdenet orders.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Stock can be held in Erdenet or anywhere in Mongolia, 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. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Erdenet guide stock and marketing decisions.
Payments customers in Erdenet expect
A B2B ordering portal for Erdenet must support the way people here actually pay: QPay, SocialPay, Visa and Mastercard, Khan Bank and Golomt apps, bank transfer and cash on delivery.
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 Mongolian tögrög (MNT).
Business buyers around the city centre often want invoices or bank transfer, while consumers lean on QPay. We support both flows.
- SocialPay
- QPay
- Visa and Mastercard
- Bank transfer
- Cash on delivery
- Khan Bank and Golomt apps
Fulfilment options for Erdenet orders
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Mongol Post, DHL, Tuk Tuk delivery, SkyPost, GoMore couriers and local rider networks, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Erdenet.
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 — The Ulaanbaatar–Erdenet road and the rail link — makes regional and national dispatch from Erdenet practical.
Rules Erdenet sellers must respect online
For Erdenet sellers, tax first: Mongolia charges 10% VAT, with e-barimt electronic receipts mandatory for retail sales.
Customer data is handled with the Law on Personal Secrets and the Law on Protection of Personal Information (2021), overseen by the National Human Rights Commission and sectoral regulators in mind, and the storefront follows the Law on Consumer Rights Protection (2003), including e-commerce rules on distance sales.
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 Mongolia.
Owning your channel in Mongolia
Unegui.mn, Zary.mn and Shoppy.mn are where many shoppers in Erdenet start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
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 Erdenet we work with
Popular online categories in Mongolia include cashmere and wool, fashion, electronics, food, home goods and cosmetics. Local demand in Erdenet is shaped by copper-molybdenum mining and processing, trade and services, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Erdenet, 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 Erdenet, 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 Erdenet business
In Erdenet, shoppers browse on phones first. 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 Erdenet time (UTC+8), in Mongolian and Russian if you want.
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- BI and reporting tools
- CRM and lead management
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- Credit and payment gateways
- Logistics and freight partners
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
Launch roadmap and success metrics
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a B2B ordering portal in Erdenet:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for MNT, QPay and Mongol Post from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Erdenet 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.
Time zones, language and support
Erdenet runs on UTC+8, which is 2h 30m ahead of India (IST). With three 8-hour shifts we are available 24×7, so meetings, demos and urgent fixes happen in your working hours.
Project communication is in English; storefront content can be produced in Mongolian. 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; Erdenet clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
