The case for a manufacturer and dealer portal in Bilbao
Bilbao is a municipality in basque country, spain, home to about 351,000 people, and one of the markets in Spain where we build manufacturer and distributor portals.
Key sectors include industry, energy and banking, with business districts such as Abandoibarra and Zorrotzaurre.
Logistics are supported by Bilbao Airport and port, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Spain has about 3 million companies, over 99% of them SMEs (Ministry of Industry). Spain's online shoppers are highly mobile and increasingly pay with Bizum. Regional language options and reliable delivery to the islands help brands stand out.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Bilbao already compare options on their phones; a manufacturer and dealer portal that loads fast, shows accurate stock and accepts Visa and Mastercard turns that research into orders.
Local details we build into every Bilbao project
A store that works in Bilbao respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
Everything a Bilbao shopper sees — price, tax, delivery fee, refund — is in EUR, written the local way.
Language and content
We localise pages, emails and notifications into Spanish, Catalan and Basque where your audience needs it.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Bilbao recognise: Visa and Mastercard and Bizum and delivery through Correos.
Domain, phone and contact
A .es domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +34, so a customer in Bilbao taps once to call or message.
Talent and partners nearby
Bilbao draws on University of the Basque Country and University of Deusto, which means plenty of local staff, interns and technology partners to run the store after launch.
A manufacturer and dealer portal built around your Bilbao business
Whatever your business sells in Bilbao, N&T Software designs and develops the manufacturer and dealer portal and the matching mobile app exactly to your requirements — your catalogue, your prices, your payment and delivery rules.
Typical clients include engineering component makers, electrical and automation brands, building-material manufacturers and auto-parts companies. Categories that sell especially well online in Spain — fashion, electronics, travel and leisure and beauty — 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. Checkout is configured for Visa and Mastercard, Bizum and PayPal.
Document library
Datasheets, manuals, CAD drawings, certificates and price lists with public, registered or partner-only access. Shipping rules can use Correos, SEUR and MRW as well as your own delivery staff in Bilbao.
Enquiries and RFQs
Project enquiries, quotation requests, lead routing to the right region and status tracking. Stock can be held in Bilbao or anywhere in Spain, 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 Bilbao 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 Bilbao look for products, in Spanish and Catalan if your audience needs it.
Channel insight
Dashboards for partner orders, secondary sales, product interest and regional demand. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Bilbao teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Checkout and payment methods for Bilbao
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In Spain, customers expect to pay with Visa and Mastercard, Bizum and PayPal, and many also look for Apple Pay, Klarna and Aplazame instalments and cash on delivery (contra reembolso).
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 euro (EUR).
Zone-based payment rules let you offer different options for Abandoibarra than for outer parts of Bilbao.
- Klarna and Aplazame instalments
- Cash on delivery (contra reembolso)
- Bizum
- Apple Pay
- Visa and Mastercard
- PayPal
Shipping, couriers and local delivery in Bilbao
Your manufacturer and dealer portal can book shipments and share tracking with Correos, SEUR, MRW, GLS Spain, Nacex and CTT Express, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Bilbao.
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 — Bilbao Airport and port — makes regional and national dispatch from Bilbao practical.
Rules Bilbao sellers must respect online
Spanish IVA is 21% standard with 10% and 4% reduced rates; the Canary Islands use IGIC instead of IVA.
On privacy we design around the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules on cookies and marketing consent, plus the LOPDGDD and LSSI-CE, enforced by the AEPD; on consumer rights the store reflects the EU Consumer Rights Directive (14-day withdrawal right), the Digital Services Act and, from June 2025, the European Accessibility Act for online shops and the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users.
Our job is the engineering: price display with tax, invoice numbering, cookie and marketing consent, return and terms pages, role-based access and logs. Legal and tax conclusions stay with your own adviser in Spain.
Owning your channel in Spain
Amazon.es, El Corte Inglés and AliExpress are where many shoppers in Bilbao start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
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.
Businesses that use NNT Mart in Bilbao
Popular online categories in Spain include fashion, electronics, travel and leisure, beauty, home and food and gourmet. Local demand in Bilbao is shaped by industry, energy and banking, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Bilbao, 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
We map how engineering component makers sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
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.
Building-material manufacturers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for building-material manufacturers in Bilbao, connected to the systems you already use.
Auto-parts companies
Auto-parts companies get spares and service plus technical catalogue workflows tailored to their operations.
Importers and master distributors
We map how importers and master distributors sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Android and iOS apps for your Bilbao business
Phones carry most traffic in Spain. 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 Bilbao time (UTC+2), in Spanish and Catalan if you want.
- CRM and lead routing
- Warranty and service software
- Dealer management systems
- E-invoicing and tax systems
- PIM and DAM for product data
- ERP and production planning
- WhatsApp Business API
- Logistics partners
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 Bilbao, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Catalogue and enquiries | Technical catalogue, documents and RFQ capture with CRM routing. Configured for EUR, Visa and Mastercard and Correos 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 Bilbao 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.
