The verdict in three sentences
A partner extranet to steer franchises and partners (KPIs, documents, training) budgets at 22,000 to 40,000 EUR in 2026, over 12 to 16 weeks, at day rates of 480 to 700 EUR. The integrations (CRM, SSO, e-signature) add 6,000 to 14,000 EUR. GDPR compliance, EU hosting and reversibility are decision criteria as much as price.
Scope and budget of a partner extranet
This type of extranet centralises network steering: dashboards per outlet, document base, training paths. Here is the 2026 breakdown.
| Module | Scope | EUR range |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery & governance | Network workshops, specs, GDPR | 3,000 - 5,500 |
| KPI dashboards | Indicators per franchise | 5,000 - 10,000 |
| Document base | Contracts, guides, versions | 3,500 - 7,000 |
| Training module | Paths, quizzes, tracking | 4,000 - 8,500 |
| Integrations | CRM, SSO, e-signature | 6,000 - 14,000 |
| QA & deployment | Testing, network training | 2,000 - 4,500 |
Compliance, hosting and reversibility
In 2026 a Berlin or Nantes network director weighs compliance as much as price. These criteria drive both vendor choice and cost of ownership.
| Criterion | Expected standard | 2026 indicative cost |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | EU datacenter, encryption | 200 - 450 EUR/month |
| GDPR compliance | Register, DPA, purge | 2,000 - 4,000 EUR (setup) |
| Partner SSO | SAML / OIDC | included in integrations |
| E-signature | Contractual documents | 0.50 - 2 EUR/signature |
| Reversibility | Data + code export | contract clause |
| Security audit | Annual | 3,000 - 6,000 EUR/year |
Mini case study
Thomas, network director of a services brand in Berlin (28 franchises), consolidates KPIs in spreadsheets, tying up 2 people about 30 hours/month each, i.e. 60 hours/month; at 34 EUR/hour loaded, that is 24,480 EUR/year. He invests 34,000 EUR in an extranet with dashboards, document base and e-signature, delivered in 14 weeks, plus 1,000 EUR/month maintenance. Consolidation becomes automatic (90% saved) and onboarding a franchise drops from 3 days to 1 day. Direct savings: about 22,000 EUR/year; first-year cost 34,000 + 12,000 = 46,000 EUR; operational break-even around month 25.
