Why a manufacturer and dealer portal makes sense for Sheki
Sheki is a commercial centre in Azerbaijan with a population of roughly 68,000, and one of the places where we build manufacturer and distributor portals for local businesses.
Historic silk and tourism town — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Azerbaijan's online market is concentrated in Baku but growing in regional cities. Instalment card payments drive electronics and appliance sales.
That is why more companies in Sheki are moving from phone, WhatsApp and spreadsheet orders to a proper manufacturer and dealer portal — one place where products, prices, payments, orders and customers are managed together.
What makes a Sheki store feel local
Conversion in Sheki depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks Azerbaijani manat: AZN amounts from product page to invoice, so Sheki buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Azerbaijani and Russian, so a Sheki customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
Badges for Visa and Mastercard and Birbank and Kapital Bank apps, Azerpost delivery and clear return terms reassure first-time buyers in Sheki.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .az where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Contact buttons are pre-set with +994, so a customer in Sheki taps once to call or message.
Custom-built for how you sell in Sheki
Whatever your business sells in Sheki, N&T Software designs and develops the manufacturer and dealer portal and the matching mobile app exactly to your requirements — your catalogue, your prices, your payment and delivery rules.
In Sheki we typically work with machinery and equipment manufacturers, engineering component makers, electrical and automation brands and building-material manufacturers, and with sellers in categories such as electronics, fashion, home appliances and groceries that have strong online demand in Azerbaijan.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
Core modules we build for Sheki clients
These are the building blocks of a manufacturer and dealer portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Sheki operation needs.
Technical catalogue
Product families, models, variants, specification tables, comparison and application or industry filters. Storefront language, imagery and navigation are set up for Sheki shoppers and available in Azerbaijani and Russian.
Document library
Datasheets, manuals, CAD drawings, certificates and price lists with public, registered or partner-only access. Catalogues come in from spreadsheets, ERP exports or supplier feeds, so your Sheki team keeps its current way of working.
Enquiries and RFQs
Project enquiries, quotation requests, lead routing to the right region and status tracking. Payment steps are built around Visa and Mastercard, Birbank and Kapital Bank apps and Tamkart instalments, the options shoppers here already trust.
Partner portal
Dealer and distributor sign-in, territory-based catalogues, protected pricing, schemes and targets. Couriers such as Azerpost, CDEK and Wolt plug in alongside your own fleet for Sheki orders.
Spares and service
Spare-part lookup by model or serial number, accessories, warranty registration and service requests. Stock can be held in Sheki or anywhere in Azerbaijan, with pickup and local-delivery options where they make sense.
Channel insight
Dashboards for partner orders, secondary sales, product interest and regional demand. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Sheki guide stock and marketing decisions.

Popular online categories in Azerbaijan include electronics, fashion, home appliances, groceries, beauty and furniture. Historic silk and tourism town — which shapes what local businesses need online. In Sheki, we most often build manufacturer and distributor portals for:
Machinery and equipment manufacturers
We map how machinery and equipment manufacturers sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.

Checkout and payment methods for Sheki
A manufacturer and dealer portal for Sheki must support the way people here actually pay: Visa and Mastercard, Birbank and Kapital Bank apps, Tamkart instalments, cash on delivery and MilliÖN terminals.
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 AZN — card details stay with the provider.
- Tamkart instalments
- MilliÖN terminals
- Visa and Mastercard
- Cash on delivery
- Birbank and Kapital Bank apps
Delivery and fulfilment from Sheki
Your manufacturer and dealer portal can book shipments and share tracking with Azerpost, CDEK, Wolt, Bolt Food and local couriers, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Sheki.
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.
Marketplaces vs. your own manufacturer and dealer portal in Sheki
Umico, Tap.az and Kontakt Home are where many shoppers in Sheki start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
Your manufacturer and dealer 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 Sheki sellers must respect online
For Sheki sellers, tax first: Azerbaijan VAT is 18%, with cashback incentives for consumers who pay electronically.
Two frameworks shape the build: the Law on Personal Data (2010), and the Law on Consumer Rights Protection and the Law on Electronic Commerce.
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 Azerbaijan.
Take your Sheki store onto customers' phones
In Sheki, shoppers browse on phones first. Dealer, field-sales and service-technician apps can scan QR codes on products, look up spares, register warranties and place orders from the shop floor or the customer site.
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.
Order alerts, offers and abandoned-cart reminders go out on Sheki time (UTC+4), in Azerbaijani and Russian if you want.
- E-invoicing and tax systems
- PIM and DAM for product data
- Warranty and service software
- WhatsApp Business API
- ERP and production planning
- CRM and lead routing
- Logistics partners
- Dealer management systems
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 Sheki
Value first, depth later. For a manufacturer and dealer portal serving Sheki, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Catalogue and enquiries | Technical catalogue, documents and RFQ capture with CRM routing. Configured for AZN, Visa and Mastercard and Azerpost from the start. |
| Partner portal | Dealer sign-in, protected pricing, ordering and ERP sync. |
| Service and apps | Spares, warranty, service requests and field apps. Reviewed against how Sheki customers actually buy. |
We track qualified enquiries per month, quote-to-order conversion, dealer portal adoption, secondary-sales visibility, spare-part order accuracy and time to answer technical queries on a live dashboard from day one, so Sheki results are visible, not promised.
Time zones, language and support
Our team covers UTC+4 — 1h 30m behind India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Sheki client always reaches someone during the local working day.
We work in English and can deliver storefront content in Azerbaijani. NDAs are signed on request, and you get a named project lead plus direct access to the engineers building your manufacturer and dealer portal.
Our head office is in Chhapi, Gujarat, with an office in Hyderabad and representation in Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia and Zambia; Sheki clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
