Why Sibiu businesses are investing in B2B and wholesale portals
Sibiu is a commercial centre in Romania where around 134,000 people live and shop, and one of the places where we build B2B and wholesale portals for local businesses.
The local economy is driven by automotive and tourism, and commercial activity concentrates around the city centre and industrial zones.
Logistics are supported by Sibiu Airport, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Romania has SMEs make up 99% of all businesses in the European Union (European Commission). Romania's online market is growing fast, but cash on delivery is still widely used, so flexible payment rules are essential. easybox lockers make delivery cheaper outside big cities.
That is why more companies in Sibiu are moving from phone, WhatsApp and spreadsheet orders to a proper B2B ordering portal — one place where products, prices, payments, orders and customers are managed together.
What makes a Sibiu store feel local
A store that works in Sibiu respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks Romanian leu: RON amounts from product page to invoice, so Sibiu buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Romanian, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as cash on delivery (ramburs) and Visa and Mastercard and Fan Courier sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
A .ro domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +40 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Talent and partners nearby
With Lucian Blaga University close by, finding people to manage catalogues, content and support after launch is realistic in Sibiu.
A B2B ordering portal built around your Sibiu business
We do not hand Sibiu businesses a ready-made theme: we study how you sell, then build the online platform and Android/iOS app your customers and staff actually need.
Typical clients include FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers, electrical and hardware traders and medical and institutional suppliers. Categories that sell especially well online in Romania — electronics, fashion, home and DIY and beauty — 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 Sibiu
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. Content and design can follow how customers in Sibiu search and buy, including Romanian where you need it.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Sibiu team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Checkout is configured for cash on delivery (ramburs), Visa and Mastercard and PayPal.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Shipping rules can use Fan Courier, Sameday easybox and Cargus as well as your own delivery staff in Sibiu.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Multiple stock points in Romania are supported, so a Sibiu order ships from the nearest one.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Dashboards break sales down by product, customer and neighbourhood of Sibiu, so you see what to promote.
Industries in Sibiu we work with
Popular online categories in Romania include electronics, fashion, home and DIY, beauty, auto parts and toys. Local demand in Sibiu is shaped by automotive and tourism, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Sibiu, 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 Sibiu, 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 Sibiu, connected to the systems you already use.
How Sibiu customers pay online
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In Romania, customers expect to pay with cash on delivery (ramburs), Visa and Mastercard and PayPal, and many also look for Google Pay and Apple Pay and TBI Bank instalments.
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 RON — card details stay with the provider.
Business buyers around the city centre often want invoices or bank transfer, while consumers lean on cash on delivery (ramburs). We support both flows.
- Visa and Mastercard
- TBI Bank instalments
- PayPal
- Google Pay and Apple Pay
- Cash on delivery (ramburs)
Fulfilment options for Sibiu orders
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Fan Courier, Sameday easybox, Cargus, DPD Romania and Poșta Română, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Sibiu.
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 — Sibiu Airport — makes regional and national dispatch from Sibiu practical.
Sibiu sellers: marketplace plus your own store
For a Sibiu business, eMAG, OLX, Altex and Fashion Days are useful shop windows — but fees, ranking changes and shared customer data limit how far you can grow on them alone.
With your own B2B ordering portal you keep the customer data, set the offers and the packaging, and still push stock to marketplaces from a single admin.
Compliance built into your B2B ordering portal
On tax: Romanian VAT (TVA) is 21% standard with an 11% reduced rate since August 2025, and B2B e-invoicing through RO e-Factura is mandatory.
On privacy we design around the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules on cookies and marketing consent, enforced by ANSPDCP; on consumer rights the store reflects 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 Government Emergency Ordinance 34/2014 on consumer rights.
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 Sibiu.
Take your Sibiu 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.
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 Sibiu time (UTC+3), in Romanian if you want.
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- CRM and lead management
- Credit and payment gateways
- Logistics and freight partners
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- 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.
How we phase your B2B ordering portal
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a B2B ordering portal in Sibiu:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for RON, cash on delivery (ramburs) and Fan Courier from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Sibiu 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 Sibiu results are visible, not promised.
Support hours and communication for Sibiu
Sibiu runs on UTC+3, which is 2h 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.
We work in English and can deliver storefront content in Romanian. 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; Sibiu clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
