Why a B2B ordering portal makes sense for Kathmandu
Kathmandu is a capital and largest city in nepal, home to about 846,000 people, and one of the markets in Nepal where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
Businesses here work in banks, wallets and tourism operators; many are based around Durbarmarg and New Baneshwor.
Logistics are supported by Tribhuvan International Airport, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
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.
For a business in Kathmandu, 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 Kathmandu, not translated into it
Conversion in Kathmandu depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
Everything a Kathmandu shopper sees — price, tax, delivery fee, refund — is in NPR, written the local way.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Nepali and English, so a Kathmandu customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
Badges for eSewa and Khalti, Nepal Post delivery and clear return terms reassure first-time buyers in Kathmandu.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .np where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Contact buttons are pre-set with +977, so a customer in Kathmandu taps once to call or message.
Talent and partners nearby
Kathmandu draws on Tribhuvan University and Kathmandu University, which means plenty of local staff, interns and technology partners to run the store after launch.
Custom-built for how you sell in Kathmandu
Kathmandu businesses tell us what they sell and how they want to sell it; our engineers turn that into a custom B2B ordering portal, an admin system and a mobile app shaped around their operations.
In Kathmandu we typically work with wholesalers, FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers and electrical and hardware traders, and with sellers in categories such as electronics and mobiles, fashion, groceries and handicrafts that have strong online demand in Nepal.
Before any commitment you get a free requirements meeting, a demo built on your use case and a proposal priced to your 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. Shipping rules can use Nepal Post, Pathao and Upaya City Cargo as well as your own delivery staff in Kathmandu.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Multiple stock points in Nepal are supported, so a Kathmandu order ships from the nearest one.
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 Kathmandu 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 Kathmandu 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. Catalogues come in from spreadsheets, ERP exports or supplier feeds, so your Kathmandu team keeps its current way of working.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Customers in Kathmandu can pay with eSewa, Khalti and Fonepay QR, with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Who we build for in Kathmandu
Popular online categories in Nepal include electronics and mobiles, fashion, groceries, handicrafts, beauty and books. Local demand in Kathmandu is shaped by banks, wallets and tourism operators, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Kathmandu, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for wholesalers in Kathmandu, 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 Kathmandu, connected to the systems you already use.
Dealer networks
Dealer networks get sales-team tools plus contract pricing workflows tailored to their operations.
How Kathmandu customers pay online
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In Nepal, customers expect to pay with eSewa, Khalti and Fonepay QR, and many also look for cash on delivery, ConnectIPS bank transfer and cards.
Gateway selection depends on your category and merchant approval; we connect the provider, reconcile payments, automate retries and refunds, and never store raw card data. Prices, taxes and refunds appear in Nepalese rupee (NPR).
Business buyers around Durbarmarg often want invoices or bank transfer, while consumers lean on eSewa. We support both flows.
- ConnectIPS bank transfer
- Fonepay QR
- Cash on delivery
- ESewa
- Khalti
- Cards
Delivery and fulfilment from Kathmandu
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 Kathmandu.
We set up shipping zones, cut-off times, free-shipping thresholds, cash-collection rules and returns so the promise on the product page matches what your team can deliver.
Connectivity in the area — Tribhuvan International Airport — makes regional and national dispatch from Kathmandu practical.
Marketplaces vs. your own B2B ordering portal in Kathmandu
Daraz Nepal, SastoDeal and HamroBazar are where many shoppers in Kathmandu start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
Your B2B ordering portal becomes the hub: marketplaces and social shops become extra outlets fed from one catalogue, while repeat customers buy directly from you at better margins.
Compliance built into your B2B ordering portal
On tax: 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.
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 Kathmandu.
Android and iOS apps for your Kathmandu business
In Kathmandu, 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 Kathmandu time (UTC+5:45), in Nepali and English if you want.
- BI and reporting tools
- CRM and lead management
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- Credit and payment gateways
- 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.
From first demo to growth in Kathmandu
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a B2B ordering portal in Kathmandu:
| 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 Kathmandu 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
Kathmandu 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.
We work in English and can deliver storefront content in Nepali. 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; Kathmandu clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
