Build Secure, Enterprise-Grade External Portals with Microsoft Power Pages

Extend your business data securely to external users. Microsoft Power Pages enables organizations to rapidly design, launch, and manage modern, responsive, data-driven web portals for customers, vendors, and partners - natively integrated with Microsoft Dataverse and Dynamics 365.

Microsoft Power Pages customer and vendor portal

The case for change

Manual Inquiries and Email Chains Overwhelm Back-Office Operations

When customers, suppliers, and external partners have to call or email for basic account status, invoice tracking, order placement, or document uploads, back-office staff spend hours serving as manual intermediaries. Fragmented web portals that do not connect directly to your ERP or CRM create data duplication, synchronization lag, and serious compliance vulnerabilities. Building custom web applications from scratch is notoriously slow and expensive to secure. Organizations need secure, self-service portals that read and write directly to core business records under unified governance.

The cost of disconnected communication

Manual customer status inquiries
Staff fielding repetitive order and invoice questions
Labor Drain
Disconnected supplier onboarding
Vendor documents lost in shared inboxes and drives
Delayed Ops
Custom portal development costs
High custom backend maintenance and vulnerability patching
High TCO
Ungoverned external data sharing
Lack of granular row-level permissions and audit trails
Security Risk

Without integrated self-service portals, administrative staff remain trapped in repetitive email and phone support cycles.

Built natively on Microsoft Dataverse, our portals provide real-time, bi-directional integration with Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sales, Customer Service, and Azure. With enterprise authentication (Azure AD B2C, Microsoft Entra ID, Google, and SAML), granular row-level table permissions, and responsive design, we deliver modern digital portals in a fraction of traditional development time.

Core Power Pages Capabilities

What we build, from vendor registration portals to complex customer self-service applications and partner ecosystems.

Customer Self-Service Portals

Allow clients to review invoices, track orders, update profile details, raise support tickets, and view contract records 24/7 without calling support.

Vendor & Supplier Hubs

Streamline vendor registration, compliance document uploads, RFQ submissions, purchase order confirmations, and direct invoice intake.

Partner & Distributor Portals

Equip distributors and channel partners with lead distribution, real-time inventory visibility, warranty registrations, and sales collateral access.

Native Microsoft Dataverse Sync

Direct connection to Dataverse and Business Central data with zero staging tables, custom sync scripts, or third-party middleware latency.

Enterprise Authentication & RBAC

Support Azure AD B2C, Entra ID, OpenID Connect, and social logins, backed by fine-grained table and column-level permission models.

AI-Powered Knowledge & Copilot

Integrate Microsoft Copilot Studio into external portals to provide intelligent answers from internal knowledge bases and verified documentation.

Power Pages in action

A Seamless Digital Window into Your Enterprise Data

Consider a distribution business: commercial customers log into a custom-branded Power Pages portal authenticated via Azure AD B2C. They check live item inventory, generate real-time price quotes, and submit purchase orders directly. Behind the scenes, the order instantly creates a sales order in Dynamics 365 Business Central, triggering automated warehouse fulfillment workflows via Power Automate. When shipment tracking updates in the ERP, the customer immediately sees the live carrier details on their portal dashboard without a single email exchange.
