Nepal · Pokhara
Pokhara's tourism and hospitality businesses increasingly need real software, not just a website. Arcetis is one of the few IT companies actually based in Pokhara's Lakeside, building booking systems, CRMs and custom platforms alongside its marketing work.
Arcetis Technologies is a Nepal-registered, VAT-registered IT and marketing company headquartered in Pokhara's Lakeside, verified as both a Google Partner and a Shopify Partner. Beyond marketing, the same 15-person team has built a hospital management system on React, TanStack and Convex, CRM platforms, booking systems and a number of live Nepali business websites. Evaluate any best IT company claim by checking Google's and Shopify's own partner directories rather than taking a homepage badge at face value.
Pokhara's economy runs on tourism, and tourism runs on software that most visitors never think about: a trekking agency's booking calendar, a hotel's channel manager, a vehicle rental company's fleet tracker, a hospital's patient records. Best IT company in Pokhara is a fair question to ask before handing any of that over, because the city has more agencies claiming software expertise than agencies that have actually shipped a working system.
Arcetis is based in Lakeside, not just serving Pokhara from somewhere else. That matters for software specifically: a booking system or CRM needs requirements gathering, testing with real staff, and fixes after launch, all of which are easier when the team can sit in the hotel's front office rather than debug over a screenshot sent on Viber.
A credible IT company can be checked, not just trusted. Arcetis's Google Partner and Shopify Partner status are both listed in Google's and Shopify's own public partner directories, not a badge pasted onto a website. Beyond marketing accreditation, the team has shipped a hospital management system built on React, TanStack Query and Convex, along with CRM platforms and booking systems for Nepali businesses, which is a different skill from running ad campaigns.
Pokhara businesses tend to need practical systems: a trekking agency wants bookings and payments to stop living in a WhatsApp inbox, a hotel wants one calendar instead of three spreadsheets, a rental business wants to know which vehicles are actually available today. Being physically in Pokhara means Arcetis can sit with the front-desk staff who will use the system daily, which produces software people actually keep using after launch.
The process starts with a conversation, not a quote. Arcetis listens to what the business is trying to fix, suggests an approach, agrees the goal and cost together, and only then builds. Engagements are scoped per business from around NPR 20,000, because a single-property hotel and a multi-branch rental company need very different systems.
Clients keep ownership of what gets built: the code, the data, the hosting accounts. For a Pokhara business that may later want to bring development in-house or switch vendors as it grows, that clean handover matters more than it might for a one-off marketing campaign.
A frequent pattern in Pokhara is a business buying an off-the-shelf booking or inventory tool built for a different market, then discovering it does not actually fit how a seasonal trekking agency or a small guesthouse operates, with features that go unused and gaps that get patched with a spreadsheet anyway. Arcetis starts by asking what the business already does manually and only recommends building new software where it genuinely replaces a real pain point, rather than defaulting to a custom build for its own sake.
Another common issue is not owning an export of the business's own data when using a third-party tool, which becomes a real problem the day a vendor shuts down, changes pricing, or stops supporting a feature the business relies on. Any system Arcetis builds or recommends is set up so the business can pull its own data out at any time, regardless of who built it.
Yes. Arcetis is headquartered in Lakeside, Pokhara, so in-person meetings, requirements workshops and on-site testing are straightforward for local businesses, unlike with an agency based in Kathmandu or abroad.
Both. The same team that manages Google and Meta ad accounts has also built a hospital management system, CRM platforms and booking systems, so software and marketing advice come from people who understand both sides.
Both statuses are checkable in Google's and Shopify's own public partner directories rather than relying on a claim made on the Arcetis website.
It depends entirely on scope: a booking calendar is a different project from a full hospital management system. Arcetis scopes and prices each engagement after understanding the business's actual requirements, starting from around NPR 20,000 for smaller projects.
