Why The Hague businesses are investing in B2B and wholesale portals
The Hague is a city and municipality in the netherlands, with a population of roughly 548,000, and one of the markets in Netherlands where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
The local economy is driven by government, legal and security organisations, and commercial activity concentrates around Beatrixkwartier and the city centre.
Logistics are supported by Rotterdam The Hague Airport, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
The Netherlands has SMEs make up 99% of all businesses in the European Union (European Commission). The Netherlands is a dense, digitally advanced market and a logistics gateway to the rest of Europe through Rotterdam and Schiphol. Offering iDEAL is non-negotiable for Dutch checkouts.
For a business in The Hague, 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.
What makes a The Hague store feel local
A store that works in The Hague respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks euro: EUR amounts from product page to invoice, so The Hague buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Dutch and English, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in The Hague recognise: iDEAL (Wero) and Visa and Mastercard and delivery through PostNL.
Domain, phone and contact
A .nl domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +31, so a customer in The Hague taps once to call or message.
Talent and partners nearby
With Leiden University campus The Hague close by, finding people to manage catalogues, content and support after launch is realistic in The Hague.
Custom-built for how you sell in The Hague
Whatever your business sells in The Hague, 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 the Netherlands — electronics, fashion, groceries and home and garden — 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.
What your B2B ordering portal includes
These are the building blocks of a B2B ordering portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your The Hague operation needs.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Reports show which products, customers and areas of The Hague drive revenue.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Content and design can follow how customers in The Hague search and buy, including Dutch and English where you need it.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Catalogues come in from spreadsheets, ERP exports or supplier feeds, so your The Hague team keeps its current way of working.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Payment steps are built around iDEAL (Wero), Visa and Mastercard and PayPal, the options shoppers here already trust.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Shipping rules can use PostNL, DHL eCommerce and DPD as well as your own delivery staff in The Hague.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Stock can be held in The Hague or anywhere in Netherlands, with pickup and local-delivery options where they make sense.
Industries in The Hague we work with
Popular online categories in the Netherlands include electronics, fashion, groceries, home and garden, bicycles and accessories and toys. Local demand in The Hague is shaped by government, legal and security organisations, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In The Hague, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
For wholesalers, we usually start with contract pricing, then add ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho) once orders are flowing.
FMCG distributors
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for FMCG distributors in The Hague, connected to the systems you already use.
Industrial suppliers
Industrial suppliers get quick and bulk ordering plus credit and payments workflows tailored to their operations.
Electrical and hardware traders
We map how electrical and hardware traders sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Medical and institutional suppliers
For medical and institutional suppliers, we usually start with sales-team tools, then add credit and payment gateways once orders are flowing.
Dealer networks
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for dealer networks in The Hague, connected to the systems you already use.
Checkout and payment methods for The Hague
Shoppers in The Hague rarely abandon a cart over price alone — they leave when their usual method is missing. Here that means iDEAL (Wero), Visa and Mastercard and PayPal, then Klarna, Apple Pay and SEPA direct debit.
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 euro (EUR).
Business buyers around Beatrixkwartier often want invoices or bank transfer, while consumers lean on iDEAL (Wero). We support both flows.
- Apple Pay
- SEPA direct debit
- Visa and Mastercard
- PayPal
- Klarna
- IDEAL (Wero)
Shipping, couriers and local delivery in The Hague
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with PostNL, DHL eCommerce, DPD, GLS, Budbee and Homerr, or route orders to your own riders and stores across The Hague.
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 — Rotterdam The Hague Airport — makes regional and national dispatch from The Hague practical.
Marketplaces vs. your own B2B ordering portal in The Hague
Many The Hague sellers already list on Bol, Amazon.nl, Coolblue, Zalando, Marktplaats and Albert Heijn. 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.
Selling online legally in the Netherlands
Dutch BTW is 21% standard and 9% reduced; Dutch sellers use OSS for EU cross-border consumer sales.
Two frameworks shape the build: the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules on cookies and marketing consent, enforced by the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, and the EU Consumer Rights Directive (14-day withdrawal right), the Digital Services Act and, from June 2025, the European Accessibility Act for online shops and the Dutch Civil Code rules on distance sales enforced by the ACM.
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 The Hague.
Take your The Hague store onto customers' phones
In The Hague, 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.
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.
Push notifications can be timed to UTC+2 so offers reach The Hague customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Dutch and English.
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- Logistics and freight partners
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- CRM and lead management
- BI and reporting tools
- Credit and payment gateways
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
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 The Hague
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a B2B ordering portal in The Hague:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for EUR, iDEAL (Wero) and PostNL from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how The Hague 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
The Hague runs on UTC+2, which is 3h 30m behind 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 Dutch. 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; The Hague clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
