Extranet Development Services
Introduction - extranet development
An extranet gives external parties - vendors, partners, clients - controlled access to specific resources (documents, order status, shared data) without giving them access to your full internal systems. It sits between a public website and a fully internal intranet, with access scoped precisely to what each external party needs to see.
We build these with careful access control design from the start, since the entire point is controlled visibility - getting permissions wrong (showing too much or too little) defeats the purpose.
Why access control design is the hard part
The technical build of an extranet is usually straightforward - the real design work is mapping exactly what each type of external user should and shouldn't see, especially when different vendors or clients need different visibility into shared or overlapping data.
We map this out explicitly during discovery rather than building a generic "external user" role and hoping it fits - vendor A should rarely see vendor B's data, for instance, and getting this wrong is a real business risk, not just a UX issue.
What's included
- Role-based access control mapped to your actual external user types
- Document and data sharing scoped precisely per external party
- Order/project status visibility for clients or vendors
- Secure authentication (not shared logins) for external users
- Activity logging for what external users accessed and when
- Admin panel for managing external user access internally
Our process
1. Map external user types & access needs
We document exactly what each category of external user (vendor, client, partner) should and shouldn't see before any development starts.
2. Build with access control first
Core access control logic gets built and tested before layering on the specific features external users will use.
3. Pilot with real external users
A small group of actual external users tests the extranet before full rollout, catching access-scope issues early.
Pricing
A single external-user-type extranet costs less than one serving multiple distinct vendor/partner/client categories with different access needs. Range: Rs 90,000 - 550,000 - indicative, final quote after discovery. Request a quote or WhatsApp +92 324 2991303.
Industries we serve
Businesses with multiple external vendors needing separated visibility, agencies giving clients project status access, and supply chain operations sharing data with partners.
