The verdict in three sentences
A partner extranet for a franchise or distributor network costs between EUR 30,000 and 80,000 in Amsterdam in 2026, with ERP integration often accounting for 30 to 40% of the budget. It saves time across the chain: order processing -40%, fewer data-entry errors, and consolidated real-time reporting. Expect a 4 to 6 month project and a serious comparison with market PRM solutions before deciding.
What the 2026 budget covers
A partner extranet exposes a catalogue, an ordering engine, marketing assets and reporting to distributors, all with fine-grained roles. The budget varies with the depth of integration into your information system.
| Module | EUR range | Complexity |
|---|---|---|
| Roles & partner accounts | 5,000-9,000 | Medium |
| Catalogue + per-partner pricing | 6,000-12,000 | Medium |
| Ordering engine | 8,000-18,000 | High |
| ERP integration (SAP, Sage) | 10,000-25,000 | Very high |
| Reporting & dashboards | 5,000-12,000 | Medium |
| Marketing assets (DAM) | 4,000-8,000 | Low |
These 2026 order-of-magnitude figures assume an experienced Amsterdam studio skilled in ERP integration, excluding third-party licences and annual maintenance.
Custom extranet vs SaaS PRM solution
SaaS PRM (Partner Relationship Management) platforms exist. Custom wins when your pricing rules and ERP flows are specific.
| Criterion | SaaS PRM | Custom extranet |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | EUR 8,000-20,000 setup | EUR 30,000-80,000 |
| Recurring cost | EUR 1,500-4,000/month | Maintenance EUR 600-1,500/month |
| Per-partner pricing | Often limited | Unlimited rules |
| ERP integration | Standard connectors | Custom, real-time |
| Partner adoption | Generic UX | UX tailored to the network |
| 3-year cost | ~65-165k EUR | ~55-135k EUR |
For a network of more than 20-30 partners with complex pricing grids, custom is often cheaper over 3 years while delivering better adoption.
Mini case study
Marc, sales director of an industrial distribution network in Amsterdam (45 distributors, 1,200 orders/month), processes each order manually (email + ERP re-entry) in about 18 minutes. An extranet at EUR 62,000 with Sage integration automates entry: processing drops to ~7 minutes, i.e. 11 min saved x 1,200 = 220 hours/month saved. At EUR 32/loaded hour, that is ~EUR 7,000/month, an ROI in under 10 months, before counting reduced order errors (estimated at 3% of processed volume).

FAQ
How much does a partner extranet cost in Amsterdam in 2026?
Between EUR 30,000 and 80,000 depending on modules and above all ERP integration depth. A catalogue + ordering extranet without ERP can start around EUR 30,000; with real-time SAP integration, expect EUR 60,000 to 80,000.
Is ERP integration really essential?
Not for an MVP: you can start with a daily CSV import/export. Real-time integration (EUR 10,000-25,000) is justified once order volume or stock moves too fast for a daily batch.
How do we ensure partner adoption?
Through simple UX, short training and immediate value (see prices, order in 3 clicks). A poorly adopted extranet is wasted money: run a pilot on 3-5 partners before full rollout.
Can we handle different pricing per partner?
Yes, a key strength of custom: per-partner grids, volume discounts, targeted promotions, without the limits of a generic PRM.
What is a realistic timeline?
Expect 4 to 6 months. Splitting into batches (roles + catalogue first, ERP next) allows a first production release in 10-14 weeks.
