Why a manufacturer and dealer portal makes sense for Kathmandu
Kathmandu is a capital and largest city in nepal, home to about 846,000 people, and one of the markets in Nepal where we build manufacturer and distributor portals.
Businesses here work in banks, wallets and tourism operators; many are based around Durbarmarg and New Baneshwor.
Logistics are supported by Tribhuvan International Airport, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Nepal's digital wallets eSewa and Khalti have made online payments mainstream in just a few years. Stores that combine wallet payments with valley-wide fast delivery are winning.
For a business in Kathmandu, the opportunity is to own the customer relationship: your own manufacturer and dealer portal keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.
Localised for Kathmandu, not translated into it
Conversion in Kathmandu depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
Everything a Kathmandu shopper sees — price, tax, delivery fee, refund — is in NPR, written the local way.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Nepali and English, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
Badges for eSewa and Khalti, Nepal Post delivery and clear return terms reassure first-time buyers in Kathmandu.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .np where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +977 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Talent and partners nearby
Kathmandu draws on Tribhuvan University and Kathmandu University, which means plenty of local staff, interns and technology partners to run the store after launch.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
We do not hand Kathmandu businesses a ready-made theme: we study how you sell, then build the online platform and Android/iOS app your customers and staff actually need.
Typical clients include engineering component makers, electrical and automation brands, building-material manufacturers and auto-parts companies. Categories that sell especially well online in Nepal — electronics and mobiles, fashion, groceries and handicrafts — 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.
Features of your manufacturer and dealer portal in Kathmandu
These are the building blocks of a manufacturer and dealer portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Kathmandu operation needs.
Technical catalogue
Product families, models, variants, specification tables, comparison and application or industry filters. Pages, search filters and wording are tuned to how people in Kathmandu look for products, in Nepali and English if your audience needs it.
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 Kathmandu team keeps its current way of working.
Enquiries and RFQs
Project enquiries, quotation requests, lead routing to the right region and status tracking. Customers in Kathmandu can pay with eSewa, Khalti and Fonepay QR, with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Partner portal
Dealer and distributor sign-in, territory-based catalogues, protected pricing, schemes and targets. Delivery can be booked through Nepal Post, Pathao and Upaya City Cargo or dispatched by your own riders around Kathmandu.
Spares and service
Spare-part lookup by model or serial number, accessories, warranty registration and service requests. Stock can be held in Kathmandu or anywhere in Nepal, 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 Kathmandu guide stock and marketing decisions.
Industries in Kathmandu we work with
Popular online categories in Nepal include electronics and mobiles, fashion, groceries, handicrafts, beauty and books. Local demand in Kathmandu is shaped by banks, wallets and tourism operators, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Kathmandu, 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 Kathmandu, 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.
Getting paid online in Kathmandu
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In Nepal, customers expect to pay with eSewa, Khalti and Fonepay QR, and many also look for cash on delivery, ConnectIPS bank transfer and cards.
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 Nepalese rupee (NPR).
Zone-based payment rules let you offer different options for Durbarmarg than for outer parts of Kathmandu.
- Khalti
- ESewa
- ConnectIPS bank transfer
- Cards
- Fonepay QR
- Cash on delivery
Fulfilment options for Kathmandu orders
Your manufacturer and dealer portal can book shipments and share tracking with Nepal Post, Pathao, Upaya City Cargo, NCM (Nepal Can Move) and Aramex Nepal, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Kathmandu.
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.
Connectivity in the area — Tribhuvan International Airport — makes regional and national dispatch from Kathmandu practical.
Your own store alongside Daraz Nepal and SastoDeal
Selling in Kathmandu through Daraz Nepal, SastoDeal and HamroBazar 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.
Tax, invoicing and compliance in Nepal
On tax: Nepal VAT is 13%, administered by the Inland Revenue Department.
On privacy we design around the Individual Privacy Act 2018 and its 2020 regulations; on consumer rights the store reflects the Consumer Protection Act 2018, which requires clear pricing and grievance handling.
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 Nepal.
Take your Kathmandu store onto customers' phones
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 Kathmandu time (UTC+5:45), in Nepali and English if you want.
- PIM and DAM for product data
- Dealer management systems
- CRM and lead routing
- Logistics partners
- ERP and production planning
- Warranty and service software
- WhatsApp Business API
- E-invoicing and tax systems
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
From first demo to growth in Kathmandu
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a manufacturer and dealer portal in Kathmandu:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Catalogue and enquiries | Technical catalogue, documents and RFQ capture with CRM routing. Configured for NPR, eSewa and Nepal 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 Kathmandu 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 Kathmandu results are visible, not promised.
Support hours and communication for Kathmandu
Kathmandu runs on UTC+5:45, which is 0h 15m ahead of 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 Nepali. 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; Kathmandu clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
