Why a B2B ordering portal makes sense for Salto
Salto is a department capital city in salto, uruguay, home to about 113,000 people, and one of the markets in Uruguay where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
North-western city on the Uruguay river — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Uruguay is one of Latin America's most digitally advanced and stable markets, with EU-adequate data protection. It is a good test market for the Southern Cone.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Salto already compare options on their phones; a B2B ordering portal that loads fast, shows accurate stock and accepts Visa, Mastercard and OCA cards turns that research into orders.
What makes a Salto store feel local
Conversion in Salto depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
Everything a Salto shopper sees — price, tax, delivery fee, refund — is in UYU, written the local way.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Spanish, so a Salto customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Salto recognise: Visa, Mastercard and OCA cards and Mercado Pago and delivery through Correo Uruguayo.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .uy where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +598 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
A B2B ordering portal built around your Salto business
Salto 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 Salto we typically work with wholesalers, FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers and electrical and hardware traders, and with sellers in categories such as electronics, fashion, home and groceries that have strong online demand in Uruguay.
Before any commitment you get a free requirements meeting, a demo built on your use case and a proposal priced to your budget.
Core modules we build for Salto clients
Nothing here is fixed: modules are switched on, reshaped or built from scratch around how your Salto business sells.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Salto teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Customers in Salto can pay with Visa, Mastercard and OCA cards, Mercado Pago and Abitab and Redpagos cash, with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Shipping rules can use Correo Uruguayo, DAC and UES as well as your own delivery staff in Salto.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Multiple stock points in Uruguay are supported, so a Salto order ships from the nearest one.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Salto guide stock and marketing decisions.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Content and design can follow how customers in Salto search and buy, including Spanish where you need it.
Who we build for in Salto
Popular online categories in Uruguay include electronics, fashion, home, groceries, beauty and sports. North-western city on the Uruguay river — which shapes what local businesses need online. In Salto, 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 Salto, 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 Salto, connected to the systems you already use.
Checkout and payment methods for Salto
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In Uruguay, customers expect to pay with Visa, Mastercard and OCA cards, Mercado Pago and Abitab and Redpagos cash, and many also look for bank transfer, Prex 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 Uruguayan peso (UYU).
- Cash on delivery
- Abitab and Redpagos cash
- Prex
- Bank transfer
- Mercado Pago
- Visa, Mastercard and OCA cards
Delivery and fulfilment from Salto
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Correo Uruguayo, DAC, UES, Mercado Envíos and PedidosYa, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Salto.
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.
Salto sellers: marketplace plus your own store
Mercado Libre, Tienda Inglesa and Disco are where many shoppers in Salto 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.
Rules Salto sellers must respect online
For Salto sellers, tax first: Uruguayan IVA is 22% standard (10% reduced), and DGI electronic receipts (CFE) are mandatory.
Two frameworks shape the build: Law 18,331 on Personal Data Protection, recognised by the EU as adequate, and Consumer Relations Law No. 17,250.
We build the technical controls — tax-inclusive pricing, compliant invoices, consent banners, terms and return pages, data-access roles and audit logs. We are not a law firm, so final legal and tax positions should be confirmed with your own adviser in Uruguay.
Take your Salto store onto customers' phones
In Salto, 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 Salto time (UTC−3), in Spanish if you want.
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- BI and reporting tools
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- Logistics and freight partners
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- CRM and lead management
- Credit and payment gateways
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 Salto
Value first, depth later. For a B2B ordering portal serving Salto, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for UYU, Visa, Mastercard and OCA cards and Correo Uruguayo from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Salto 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 Salto results are visible, not promised.
Time zones, language and support
Salto runs on UTC−3, which is 8h 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 Spanish. 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; Salto clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
