In 2026, companies in Alicante looking to optimize their internal communication and centralize services are evaluating the construction of an intranet with an internal marketplace. This type of platform not only streamlines collaboration between teams but also allows managing orders, resources, or internal services from a single point. However, the cost of developing such a system depends on multiple factors that go beyond the initial budget.
One of the main cost drivers is integration with existing systems. Connecting the intranet with ERPs, CRMs, productivity tools like Microsoft Teams or SharePoint, and on-premise databases requires in-depth analysis. The level of cybersecurity to be implemented also influences costs: from role-based access control to continuous audits and GDPR compliance. Companies already using AWS and Azure cloud services can reduce operational costs by leveraging scalable infrastructure but must consider the cost of secure connections via VPN or private endpoints.
Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in modern intranets. Incorporating AI for businesses through intelligent agents or semantic searches with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) allows automating repetitive workflows and providing immediate responses to employees. These capabilities require private language models and careful orchestration, impacting the budget. However, the benefits in operational cost reduction —between 15% and 35% in targeted processes— justify the investment in the medium term.
Another key variable is the deployment model. Companies that prefer to maintain full control over their data often opt for hybrid or private infrastructure, while those prioritizing agility choose cloud solutions. A common approach is to start with a minimum viable product (MVP) in 4 to 8 weeks, with a cost ranging between 5,000 and 60,000 euros, depending on the complexity of the workflows and the number of integrations. For example, a portal with an internal marketplace, order management, and dashboards in Power BI for executive visibility could fall at the higher end of that range.
It is essential to choose a technology partner with experience in custom applications and in implementing process automation. Q2BSTUDIO offers a phased approach: discovery of current processes, MVP design with defined key performance indicators, integration with legacy systems, and a final web portal that allows business users to manage their own AI workflows without relying on engineering. This ensures that the investment is recovered in less than a year, according to observed cases.
In summary, developing an intranet with an internal marketplace in Alicante in 2026 requires careful planning of scope, security, and artificial intelligence capabilities. The key is to prioritize functionalities that provide the highest return and work with a team that offers AI agents and integrated dashboards. For a personalized estimate, many companies opt for a free discovery session with Q2BSTUDIO, where real costs are analyzed and a business case is developed before starting development.
