Why Dharan businesses are investing in B2B and wholesale portals
Dharan is a sub-Metropolitan city in koshi province, home to about 116,000 people, and one of the markets in Nepal where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
Eastern hill town with retail and education — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Nepal's digital wallets eSewa and Khalti have made online payments mainstream in just a few years. Stores that combine wallet payments with valley-wide fast delivery are winning.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Dharan already compare options on their phones; a B2B ordering portal that loads fast, shows accurate stock and accepts eSewa turns that research into orders.
Localised for Dharan, not translated into it
A store that works in Dharan 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 Nepalese rupee (NPR), formatted the way Dharan customers read them.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Nepali and English, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as eSewa and Khalti and Nepal Post sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
A .np domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +977, so a customer in Dharan taps once to call or message.
A B2B ordering portal built around your Dharan business
Whatever your business sells in Dharan, 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 Nepal — electronics and mobiles, fashion, groceries and handicrafts — 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.
What your B2B ordering portal includes
Each module below is configured — or custom-developed — to your requirements. You choose what launches first and what follows in later phases.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Couriers such as Nepal Post, Pathao and Upaya City Cargo plug in alongside your own fleet for Dharan orders.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Stock can be held in Dharan or anywhere in Nepal, with pickup and local-delivery options where they make sense.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Dharan guide stock and marketing decisions.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Content and design can follow how customers in Dharan search and buy, including Nepali and English where you need it.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Dharan team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Payment steps are built around eSewa, Khalti and Fonepay QR, the options shoppers here already trust.
Businesses that use NNT Mart in Dharan
Popular online categories in Nepal include electronics and mobiles, fashion, groceries, handicrafts, beauty and books. Eastern hill town with retail and education — which shapes what local businesses need online. In Dharan, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
We map how wholesalers sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
FMCG distributors
For FMCG distributors, we usually start with quick and bulk ordering, then add accounting and e-invoicing once orders are flowing.
Industrial suppliers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for industrial suppliers in Dharan, connected to the systems you already use.
Electrical and hardware traders
Electrical and hardware traders get quotes and approvals plus sales-team tools workflows tailored to their operations.
Medical and institutional suppliers
We map how medical and institutional suppliers sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Dealer networks
For dealer networks, we usually start with business accounts, then add logistics and freight partners once orders are flowing.
Getting paid online in Dharan
A B2B ordering portal for Dharan must support the way people here actually pay: eSewa, Khalti, Fonepay QR, cash on delivery, ConnectIPS bank transfer and cards.
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 NPR — card details stay with the provider.
- Cards
- ConnectIPS bank transfer
- ESewa
- Khalti
- Cash on delivery
- Fonepay QR
Delivery and fulfilment from Dharan
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Nepal Post, Pathao, Upaya City Cargo, NCM (Nepal Can Move) and Aramex Nepal, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Dharan.
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.
Dharan sellers: marketplace plus your own store
Many Dharan sellers already list on Daraz Nepal, SastoDeal, HamroBazar, Thulo.com and Foodmandu. 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.
Tax, invoicing and compliance in Nepal
Tax basics: Nepal VAT is 13%, administered by the Inland Revenue Department.
Customer data is handled with the Individual Privacy Act 2018 and its 2020 regulations in mind, and the storefront follows the Consumer Protection Act 2018, which requires clear pricing and grievance handling.
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 Nepal.
Add a mobile app for Dharan customers
In Dharan, 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 Dharan time (UTC+5:45), in Nepali and English if you want.
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- Credit and payment gateways
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- Logistics and freight partners
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- CRM and lead management
- BI and reporting tools
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 Dharan
Value first, depth later. For a B2B ordering portal serving Dharan, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for NPR, eSewa and Nepal Post from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Dharan 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 Dharan results are visible, not promised.
Time zones, language and support
Dharan runs on UTC+5:45, which is 0h 15m 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 Nepali. 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; Dharan clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
