Why a manufacturer and dealer portal makes sense for Jounieh
Jounieh is a commercial centre in Lebanon home to about 102,000 people, and one of the places where we build manufacturer and distributor portals for local businesses.
Businesses here work in retail, hospitality, tourism and services; many are based around the Jounieh bay area and the Kaslik district.
Logistics are supported by The coastal highway to Beirut, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Lebanese businesses are digital-savvy and entrepreneurial, and a large diaspora buys gifts and products for relatives. Dollar pricing, strong delivery apps and wallet payments define successful stores.
That is why more companies in Jounieh 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 Jounieh, not translated into it
A store that works in Jounieh respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
Prices, taxes, shipping and refunds are shown in Lebanese pound (LBP), formatted the way Jounieh customers read them.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Arabic, French and English, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Jounieh recognise: Visa and Mastercard (fresh-dollar accounts) and Whish Money and delivery through Liban Post.
Domain, phone and contact
A .lb domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +961 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Talent and partners nearby
With Holy Spirit University of Kaslik close by, finding people to manage catalogues, content and support after launch is realistic in Jounieh.
A manufacturer and dealer portal built around your Jounieh business
Every NNT Mart manufacturer and dealer portal in Jounieh is engineered to the client's own brief — the web platform, the admin panel and, when you need one, a mobile application built for your workflow.
Typical clients include engineering component makers, electrical and automation brands, building-material manufacturers and auto-parts companies. Categories that sell especially well online in Lebanon — fashion, electronics, food and dining and cosmetics — 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.
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 Liban Post, Aramex and DHL or dispatched by your own riders around Jounieh.
Document library
Datasheets, manuals, CAD drawings, certificates and price lists with public, registered or partner-only access. Stock can be held in Jounieh or anywhere in Lebanon, 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 Jounieh guide stock and marketing decisions.
Partner portal
Dealer and distributor sign-in, territory-based catalogues, protected pricing, schemes and targets. Storefront language, imagery and navigation are set up for Jounieh shoppers and available in Arabic and French.
Spares and service
Spare-part lookup by model or serial number, accessories, warranty registration and service requests. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Jounieh team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Channel insight
Dashboards for partner orders, secondary sales, product interest and regional demand. Checkout is configured for Visa and Mastercard (fresh-dollar accounts), Whish Money and OMT Pay.
Payments customers in Jounieh expect
A store that serves Jounieh should let customers pay the way they do offline: Visa and Mastercard (fresh-dollar accounts), Whish Money, OMT Pay and cash on delivery in USD.
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 LBP — card details stay with the provider.
Zone-based payment rules let you offer different options for the Jounieh bay area than for outer parts of Jounieh.
- OMT Pay
- PayPal
- Visa and Mastercard (fresh-dollar accounts)
- Cash on delivery in USD
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Whish Money
Delivery and fulfilment from Jounieh
Your manufacturer and dealer portal can book shipments and share tracking with Liban Post, Aramex, DHL, Toters, Wakilni and Wishbox, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Jounieh.
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 — The coastal highway to Beirut — makes regional and national dispatch from Jounieh practical.
Selling online legally in Lebanon
For Jounieh sellers, tax first: Lebanon charges 11% VAT; since the financial crisis, businesses commonly price in US dollars while official rules specify Lebanese pounds.
On privacy we design around Law No. 81/2018 on Electronic Transactions and Personal Data, which sets consent and data-processing duties; on consumer rights the store reflects the Consumer Protection Law No. 659/2005 and the Electronic Transactions Law.
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 Lebanon.
Your own store alongside Toters and Talabat
Toters, Talabat and Zomato Lebanon are where many shoppers in Jounieh start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
With your own manufacturer and dealer portal you keep the customer data, set the offers and the packaging, and still push stock to marketplaces from a single admin.
Businesses that use NNT Mart in Jounieh
Popular online categories in Lebanon include fashion, electronics, food and dining, cosmetics, jewellery and home design. Local demand in Jounieh is shaped by retail, hospitality, tourism and services, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Jounieh, 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 Jounieh, 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.
Take your Jounieh store onto customers' phones
In Jounieh, 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 Jounieh time (UTC+3), in Arabic and French if you want.
- E-invoicing and tax systems
- CRM and lead routing
- Logistics partners
- WhatsApp Business API
- Warranty and service software
- PIM and DAM for product data
- Dealer management 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 Jounieh, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Catalogue and enquiries | Technical catalogue, documents and RFQ capture with CRM routing. Configured for LBP, Visa and Mastercard (fresh-dollar accounts) and Liban Post 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 Jounieh 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.
How Jounieh clients work with us
Our team covers UTC+3 — 2h 30m behind India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Jounieh client always reaches someone during the local working day.
Project communication is in English; storefront content can be produced in Arabic. 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; Jounieh clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
