An extranet is also called a customer portal or dealer portal. Just what you prefer. In terms of functionalities, no extranet is the same. For example, an extranet can be provided with a self-service section where users can make changes themselves. But also a forum, ordering environment, reports and, for example, news items. All possibilities of an extranet. You determine who is authorized for what via rights and roles.
With an extranet you ensure that your customers, dealers or partners are more involved in your organization. It leads to a better experience and also offers various possibilities in the field of B2B e-commerce.
