The case for a manufacturer and dealer portal in Brazil
Brazil is a market of about 214 million people where manufacturer and distributor portals are growing fast, with Brasília as its capital.
Brazil has more than 20 million active companies, including millions of MEI micro-entrepreneurs (Mapa de Empresas). Brazil is Latin America's largest e-commerce market, and Pix has become the most used online payment method in just a few years. Portuguese UX, instalments and NF-e integration are non-negotiable.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Brazil already compare options on their phones; a manufacturer and dealer portal that loads fast, shows accurate stock and accepts Pix turns that research into orders.
What makes a Brazil store feel local
A store that works in Brazil respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks Brazilian real: BRL amounts from product page to invoice, so Brazil buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
We localise pages, emails and notifications into Portuguese where your audience needs it.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Brazil recognise: Pix and credit cards with parcelamento (instalments) and delivery through Correios.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .br where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Contact buttons are pre-set with +55, so a customer in Brazil taps once to call or message.
Custom-built for how you sell in Brazil
If you run a business in Brazil and want to sell online, we build an e-commerce platform and mobile application to your exact requirements, from the first product page to the last delivery update.
In Brazil 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, beauty and home and furniture that have strong online demand in Brazil.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
What your manufacturer and dealer portal includes
Each module below is configured — or custom-developed — to your requirements. You choose what launches first and what follows in later phases.
Technical catalogue
Product families, models, variants, specification tables, comparison and application or industry filters. Stock can be held in Brazil or anywhere in Brazil, with pickup and local-delivery options where they make sense.
Document library
Datasheets, manuals, CAD drawings, certificates and price lists with public, registered or partner-only access. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Brazil guide stock and marketing decisions.
Enquiries and RFQs
Project enquiries, quotation requests, lead routing to the right region and status tracking. Content and design can follow how customers in Brazil search and buy, including Portuguese where you need it.
Partner portal
Dealer and distributor sign-in, territory-based catalogues, protected pricing, schemes and targets. Catalogues come in from spreadsheets, ERP exports or supplier feeds, so your Brazil team keeps its current way of working.
Spares and service
Spare-part lookup by model or serial number, accessories, warranty registration and service requests. Customers in Brazil can pay with Pix, credit cards with parcelamento (instalments) and boleto bancário, with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Channel insight
Dashboards for partner orders, secondary sales, product interest and regional demand. Shipping rules can use Correios, Jadlog and Total Express as well as your own delivery staff in Brazil.
Who we build for in Brazil
Popular online categories in Brazil include electronics, fashion, beauty, home and furniture, health and pharmacy and pet products. In Brazil, 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.
Engineering component makers
For engineering component makers, we usually start with enquiries and RFQs, then add CRM and lead routing once orders are flowing.
Electrical and automation brands
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for electrical and automation brands in Brazil, connected to the systems you already use.
Building-material manufacturers
Building-material manufacturers get partner portal plus channel insight workflows tailored to their operations.
Auto-parts companies
We map how auto-parts companies sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Importers and master distributors
For importers and master distributors, we usually start with technical catalogue, then add logistics partners once orders are flowing.
How Brazil customers pay online
Shoppers in Brazil rarely abandon a cart over price alone — they leave when their usual method is missing. Here that means Pix, credit cards with parcelamento (instalments) and boleto bancário, then Mercado Pago, PicPay and Apple Pay.
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 BRL — card details stay with the provider.
- Boleto bancário
- PicPay
- Credit cards with parcelamento (instalments)
- Mercado Pago
- Pix
- Apple Pay
Fulfilment options for Brazil orders
Your manufacturer and dealer portal can book shipments and share tracking with Correios, Jadlog, Total Express, Loggi, Mercado Envios and Azul Cargo, or route orders to your own riders and stores.
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.
Your own store alongside Mercado Livre and Amazon.com.br
For a Brazil business, Mercado Livre, Amazon.com.br, Magazine Luiza and Americanas are useful shop windows — but fees, ranking changes and shared customer data limit how far you can grow on them alone.
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 Brazil
Brazil levies ICMS (state), IPI, PIS and COFINS on goods, with the 2023 tax reform phasing in the dual VAT (CBS and IBS) from 2026 to 2033; NF-e electronic invoices are mandatory.
Two frameworks shape the build: the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), enforced by the ANPD, and the Código de Defesa do Consumidor (CDC) and the e-commerce decree 7.962/2013, including a 7-day right of withdrawal.
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.
Take your Brazil store onto customers' phones
In Brazil, 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.
Apps are published under your own developer accounts and share the same backend as your manufacturer and dealer portal, so offers, stock and orders are always consistent between web and mobile.
Push notifications can be timed to UTC−3 so offers reach Brazil customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Portuguese.
- Dealer management systems
- ERP and production planning
- Logistics partners
- E-invoicing and tax systems
- PIM and DAM for product data
- WhatsApp Business API
- CRM and lead routing
- Warranty and service software
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 Brazil
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a manufacturer and dealer portal in Brazil:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Catalogue and enquiries | Technical catalogue, documents and RFQ capture with CRM routing. Configured for BRL, Pix and Correios 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 Brazil customers actually buy. |
Success is measured on qualified enquiries per month, quote-to-order conversion, dealer portal adoption, secondary-sales visibility, spare-part order accuracy and time to answer technical queries — tracked on a dashboard you can see from launch day.
Working with our team from Brazil
Brazil 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 Portuguese. 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; clients in Brazil are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
