Why a manufacturer and dealer portal makes sense for Makati
Makati is a highly urbanized city in metro manila, philippines, where around 310,000 people live and shop, and one of the markets in Philippines where we build manufacturer and distributor portals.
Businesses here work in financial district and corporate HQs; many are based around the Makati Central Business District.
Logistics are supported by Close to NAIA, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
The Philippines has more than 1 million registered MSMEs, 99.6% of all businesses (Department of Trade and Industry). Filipino shoppers are among the most social-media-active in the world and rely heavily on GCash and Maya. Clear delivery estimates across the islands build confidence.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Makati already compare options on their phones; a manufacturer and dealer portal that loads fast, shows accurate stock and accepts GCash turns that research into orders.
Local details we build into every Makati project
Conversion in Makati depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
Prices, taxes, shipping and refunds are shown in Philippine peso (PHP), formatted the way Makati customers read them.
Language and content
We localise pages, emails and notifications into Filipino and English where your audience needs it.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as GCash and Maya and J&T Express sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
A .ph domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +63 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Talent and partners nearby
With Asian Institute of Management close by, finding people to manage catalogues, content and support after launch is realistic in Makati.
A manufacturer and dealer portal built around your Makati business
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.
In Makati 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 fashion, beauty, electronics and mobiles and groceries that have strong online demand in the Philippines.
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. Checkout is configured for GCash, Maya and cash on delivery.
Document library
Datasheets, manuals, CAD drawings, certificates and price lists with public, registered or partner-only access. Delivery can be booked through J&T Express, LBC Express and Ninja Van or dispatched by your own riders around Makati.
Enquiries and RFQs
Project enquiries, quotation requests, lead routing to the right region and status tracking. Stock can be held in Makati or anywhere in Philippines, with pickup and local-delivery options where they make sense.
Partner portal
Dealer and distributor sign-in, territory-based catalogues, protected pricing, schemes and targets. Reports show which products, customers and areas of Makati drive revenue.
Spares and service
Spare-part lookup by model or serial number, accessories, warranty registration and service requests. Pages, search filters and wording are tuned to how people in Makati look for products, in Filipino and English if your audience needs it.
Channel insight
Dashboards for partner orders, secondary sales, product interest and regional demand. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Makati team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Payments customers in Makati expect
Shoppers in Makati rarely abandon a cart over price alone — they leave when their usual method is missing. Here that means GCash, Maya and cash on delivery, then InstaPay/PESONet bank transfer, Visa and Mastercard and over-the-counter (7-Eleven CLiQQ).
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 PHP — card details stay with the provider.
Business buyers around the Makati Central Business District often want invoices or bank transfer, while consumers lean on GCash. We support both flows.
- GCash
- Visa and Mastercard
- Over-the-counter (7-Eleven CLiQQ)
- InstaPay/PESONet bank transfer
- Cash on delivery
- Maya
Delivery and fulfilment from Makati
Your manufacturer and dealer portal can book shipments and share tracking with J&T Express, LBC Express, Ninja Van, Flash Express, PHLPost and Lalamove, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Makati.
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 — Close to NAIA — makes regional and national dispatch from Makati practical.
Tax, invoicing and compliance in Philippines
Tax basics: Philippine VAT is 12%, and the 2024 law on digital services requires foreign digital providers to charge VAT.
On privacy we design around the Data Privacy Act of 2012, enforced by the National Privacy Commission; on consumer rights the store reflects the Consumer Act and the Internet Transactions Act of 2023, which created the E-Commerce Bureau.
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 Makati.
Owning your channel in the Philippines
Many Makati sellers already list on Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, Zalora, Carousell and Facebook Marketplace. Those channels bring traffic, but they also take commission, control the customer relationship and change rules without notice.
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.
Who we build for in Makati
Popular online categories in the Philippines include fashion, beauty, electronics and mobiles, groceries, home and health. Local demand in Makati is shaped by financial district and corporate HQs, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Makati, we most often build manufacturer and distributor portals for:
Machinery and equipment manufacturers
For machinery and equipment manufacturers, we usually start with document library, then add ERP and production planning once orders are flowing.
Engineering component makers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for engineering component makers in Makati, connected to the systems you already use.
Electrical and automation brands
Electrical and automation brands get enquiries and RFQs plus spares and service workflows tailored to their operations.
Building-material manufacturers
We map how building-material manufacturers sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Auto-parts companies
For auto-parts companies, we usually start with channel insight, then add warranty and service software once orders are flowing.
Importers and master distributors
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for importers and master distributors in Makati, connected to the systems you already use.
Take your Makati store onto customers' phones
Phones carry most traffic in the Philippines. 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.
Push notifications can be timed to UTC+8 so offers reach Makati customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Filipino and English.
- E-invoicing and tax systems
- CRM and lead routing
- Dealer management systems
- Logistics partners
- ERP and production planning
- Warranty and service software
- WhatsApp Business API
- PIM and DAM for product data
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 Makati
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a manufacturer and dealer portal in Makati:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Catalogue and enquiries | Technical catalogue, documents and RFQ capture with CRM routing. Configured for PHP, GCash and J&T Express 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 Makati 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.
Time zones, language and support
Our team covers UTC+8 — 2h 30m ahead of India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Makati client always reaches someone during the local working day.
Project communication is in English; storefront content can be produced in Taglish, Filipino and English. 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; Makati clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
