The case for a manufacturer and dealer portal in Ariana
Ariana is a commercial centre in Tunisia with a population of roughly 114,000, and one of the places where we build manufacturer and distributor portals for local businesses.
Tunis metro area tech and residential hub — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Tunisia has a well-educated, bilingual population and a growing IT sector. COD remains dominant, so order-confirmation workflows are important.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Ariana already compare options on their phones; a manufacturer and dealer portal that loads fast, shows accurate stock and accepts cash on delivery turns that research into orders.
Localised for Ariana, not translated into it
Conversion in Ariana depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
Everything a Ariana shopper sees — price, tax, delivery fee, refund — is in TND, written the local way.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Arabic and French, so a Ariana customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as cash on delivery and e-Dinar cards and La Poste Tunisienne (Rapid-Poste) sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .tn where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +216 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Custom-built for how you sell in Ariana
Every NNT Mart manufacturer and dealer portal in Ariana 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.
In Ariana 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 electronics, fashion, beauty and home that have strong online demand in Tunisia.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
Core modules we build for Ariana clients
These are the building blocks of a manufacturer and dealer portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Ariana 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 Ariana look for products, in Arabic and French if your audience needs it.
Document library
Datasheets, manuals, CAD drawings, certificates and price lists with public, registered or partner-only access. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Ariana team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Enquiries and RFQs
Project enquiries, quotation requests, lead routing to the right region and status tracking. Payment steps are built around cash on delivery, e-Dinar cards and Clictopay, the options shoppers here already trust.
Partner portal
Dealer and distributor sign-in, territory-based catalogues, protected pricing, schemes and targets. Shipping rules can use La Poste Tunisienne (Rapid-Poste), Aramex and First Delivery as well as your own delivery staff in Ariana.
Spares and service
Spare-part lookup by model or serial number, accessories, warranty registration and service requests. Stock can be held in Ariana or anywhere in Tunisia, 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 Ariana guide stock and marketing decisions.
Getting paid online in Ariana
A manufacturer and dealer portal for Ariana must support the way people here actually pay: cash on delivery, e-Dinar cards, Clictopay, Visa and Mastercard and Flouci wallet.
We integrate suitable gateways and providers for your business category and merchant eligibility, handle payment status, failed-payment retries and refunds, and keep sensitive card data with the provider rather than on your servers. All amounts are shown in Tunisian dinar (TND).
- Visa and Mastercard
- Flouci wallet
- E-Dinar cards
- Clictopay
- Cash on delivery
Shipping, couriers and local delivery in Ariana
Your manufacturer and dealer portal can book shipments and share tracking with La Poste Tunisienne (Rapid-Poste), Aramex, First Delivery and Jax Delivery, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Ariana.
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.
Rules Ariana sellers must respect online
For Ariana sellers, tax first: Tunisian VAT (TVA) is 19% standard with 13% and 7% reduced rates.
Customer data is handled with Organic Law No. 2004-63 on personal data protection, overseen by the INPDP in mind, and the storefront follows Law No. 2000-83 on electronic exchanges and commerce, and the consumer protection law of 1992.
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 Tunisia.
Ariana sellers: marketplace plus your own store
Jumia Tunisia, Tayara and Mytek are where many shoppers in Ariana 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.

Take your Ariana 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.
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+1 so offers reach Ariana customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Arabic and French.
- Warranty and service software
- CRM and lead routing
- Dealer management systems
- WhatsApp Business API
- E-invoicing and tax systems
- PIM and DAM for product data
- Logistics partners
- 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.
From first demo to growth in Ariana
Value first, depth later. For a manufacturer and dealer portal serving Ariana, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Catalogue and enquiries | Technical catalogue, documents and RFQ capture with CRM routing. Configured for TND, cash on delivery and La Poste Tunisienne (Rapid-Poste) 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 Ariana 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.
