Why a manufacturer and dealer portal makes sense for Divo
Divo is a place in Gôh-Djiboua, ivory coast, with a population of roughly 295,000, and one of the markets in Côte d'Ivoire where we build manufacturer and distributor portals.
Southern agricultural town — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Côte d'Ivoire is francophone West Africa's largest economy, with Abidjan as a regional hub. Wave and Orange Money checkout in French are essential.
That is why more companies in Divo 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.
Localised for Divo, not translated into it
Conversion in Divo depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks West African CFA franc: XOF amounts from product page to invoice, so Divo buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
Content can be produced in French, so a Divo 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 Divo recognise: Orange Money and MTN MoMo and delivery through La Poste de Côte d'Ivoire.
Domain, phone and contact
A .ci domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +225, so a customer in Divo taps once to call or message.
Custom-built for how you sell in Divo
Your manufacturer and dealer portal is planned, designed and coded for your business model — not adapted from someone else's — and it can ship with a customer or staff mobile app on day one.
Typical clients include engineering component makers, electrical and automation brands, building-material manufacturers and auto-parts companies. Categories that sell especially well online in Côte d'Ivoire — fashion, phones and electronics, beauty and groceries — get catalogue structures and filters designed for them.
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. Delivery can be booked through La Poste de Côte d'Ivoire, DHL and Yango Delivery or dispatched by your own riders around Divo.
Document library
Datasheets, manuals, CAD drawings, certificates and price lists with public, registered or partner-only access. Stock can be held in Divo or anywhere in Côte d'Ivoire, with pickup and local-delivery options where they make sense.
Enquiries and RFQs
Project enquiries, quotation requests, lead routing to the right region and status tracking. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Divo guide stock and marketing decisions.
Partner portal
Dealer and distributor sign-in, territory-based catalogues, protected pricing, schemes and targets. Content and design can follow how customers in Divo search and buy, including French where you need it.
Spares and service
Spare-part lookup by model or serial number, accessories, warranty registration and service requests. Catalogues come in from spreadsheets, ERP exports or supplier feeds, so your Divo team keeps its current way of working.
Channel insight
Dashboards for partner orders, secondary sales, product interest and regional demand. Checkout is configured for Orange Money, MTN MoMo and Wave.
Getting paid online in Divo
A manufacturer and dealer portal for Divo must support the way people here actually pay: Orange Money, MTN MoMo, Wave, Moov Money, Visa and Mastercard and cash on delivery.
Gateway selection depends on your category and merchant approval; we connect the provider, reconcile payments, automate retries and refunds, and never store raw card data. Prices, taxes and refunds appear in West African CFA franc (XOF).
- Wave
- Cash on delivery
- MTN MoMo
- Orange Money
- Moov Money
- Visa and Mastercard
Shipping, couriers and local delivery in Divo
Your manufacturer and dealer portal can book shipments and share tracking with La Poste de Côte d'Ivoire, DHL, Yango Delivery and local couriers, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Divo.
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.
Compliance built into your manufacturer and dealer portal
Tax basics: Ivorian VAT (TVA) is 18% standard, with a reduced 9% rate for some goods.
Two frameworks shape the build: Law No. 2013-450 on the protection of personal data, overseen by ARTCI, and Law No. 2016-412 on consumption and Law No. 2013-546 on electronic transactions.
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 Divo.
Marketplaces vs. your own manufacturer and dealer portal in Divo
Selling in Divo through Jumia Côte d'Ivoire, Jiji and Yango Deli gets you reach quickly, yet the buyer belongs to the platform, not to you.
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.
Who we build for in Divo
Popular online categories in Côte d'Ivoire include fashion, phones and electronics, beauty, groceries, home and baby products. Southern agricultural town — which shapes what local businesses need online. In Divo, we most often build manufacturer and distributor portals for:
Machinery and equipment manufacturers
Machinery and equipment manufacturers get technical catalogue plus enquiries and RFQs workflows tailored to their operations.
Engineering component makers

Electrical and automation brands
For electrical and automation brands, we usually start with partner portal, then add PIM and DAM for product data once orders are flowing.

Add a mobile app for Divo customers
Phones carry most traffic in Côte d'Ivoire. 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.
Order alerts, offers and abandoned-cart reminders go out on Divo time (UTC+0), in French if you want.
- WhatsApp Business API
- Dealer management systems
- CRM and lead routing
- Logistics partners
- PIM and DAM for product data
- Warranty and service software
- E-invoicing and tax systems
- ERP and production planning
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
Launch roadmap and success metrics
Value first, depth later. For a manufacturer and dealer portal serving Divo, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Catalogue and enquiries | Technical catalogue, documents and RFQ capture with CRM routing. Configured for XOF, Orange Money and La Poste de Côte d'Ivoire 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 Divo 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 Divo results are visible, not promised.
Time zones, language and support
Our team covers UTC+0 — 5h 30m behind India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Divo client always reaches someone during the local working day.
Project communication is in English; storefront content can be produced in French. 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; Divo clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
