The situation

What do Manufacturing need from a website?

Distributors, retailers and institutional buyers looking for a supplier start by checking what a manufacturer produces, in what pack sizes, to what standards and how to become a stockist. A clear catalogue website answers those questions and brings in trade enquiries beyond the sales team's existing contacts.

Manufacturing is concentrated in a few counties. The KNBS Gross County Product 2025 report shows Nairobi City contributed 36.4 per cent of Kenya's manufacturing output on average over 2020 to 2024, followed by Mombasa at 9.8, Kiambu at 8.3 and Machakos at 8.0 per cent. The KNBS 2016 MSME survey counted about 874,000 small manufacturing businesses, led by tailoring, food processing, metal fabrication and furniture.

We host manufacturer websites with a free SSL certificate on every plan, product catalogues with specifications and downloads, and business email on your own domain for sales and procurement. Corporate Hosting adds daily backups, billing is in shillings via M-Pesa, and support is available 24/7 in English and Swahili.

Questions

Manufacturing: questions answered

Should manufacturers sell directly online?
Many manufacturers keep the website for trade enquiries and point consumers to stockists, to avoid competing with distributors. Others sell selected products online with M-Pesa checkout. Choose the approach that fits your distribution agreements.
What do distributors look for on a manufacturer's site?
Distributors look for the product range, pack sizes, specifications, certifications, minimum order quantities or terms, and a contact for stockist enquiries. A clear catalogue shortens the sales conversation.
Can we publish a stockist locator?
Yes. A stockist page listing outlets by county or town helps consumers find your products and gives distributors a reason to promote them.
Which hosting plan suits a manufacturer?
A catalogue site with downloads runs well on shared hosting. A company with a large catalogue, online ordering and many staff mailboxes is better on Corporate Hosting, which includes daily backups.
Can the site integrate with our ERP?
Integrations depend on your ERP. Many can export product data or connect through an API, and a VPS gives you an environment for custom integration software if needed.
How do we pay?
Plans are priced in shillings and can be paid via M-Pesa, with invoices in the company's name. Support is available 24/7 in English and Swahili.
