Intranet and knowledge hub
Policies, news, a staff directory and team pages, with search and a clear structure (taxonomy), so people find a document without having to ask for it. It can run in more than one language where your teams need it.

Employee Portals and Intranets
Bluelupin builds employee portals and intranets: HR self-service, onboarding, policy and knowledge hubs, and internal dashboards in one place with single sign-on. We connect them to your HR system and other tools, set access by role, and move content from your old intranet so staff find what they need on web or mobile.
What an employee portal does
An employee portal is one place where staff find policies, news and people, complete HR requests and open the tools they use every day. Some call this an employee experience platform. It replaces the shared drives, email threads and scattered forms that staff search through today, and it works the same on a laptop and a phone.
What we build
As an intranet development company, we build the parts below alone or together, starting with the tasks your staff do most often.
HR self-service portal
Staff apply for leave, update their profile, sign documents with e-sign and raise requests that go to the right approver. HR sees every request and its status in one list.
Employee onboarding portal
New starters get their tasks, documents and training in one place. HR and managers can see what is done and what is still open.
Internal apps and dashboards
Role-specific tools for operations, sales and field teams, with real-time dashboards that show each team the numbers it works with.
Mobile access for field staff
A responsive web portal, or a mobile app for field staff that keeps working offline and syncs when the connection returns. See Mobile App Development.
Connecting HR and other systems
We connect the portal to your HR system, your identity provider and the other tools your staff use through their APIs, so staff see current data and sign in once instead of five times. Approval requests can go to Slack or Microsoft Teams, so a manager can approve leave without opening the portal. When an approval also has to run across the systems behind the portal, that workflow is Business Process Automation.
Access, privacy and audit
Staff sign in once with single sign-on, and each person sees only what their role allows. Data is encrypted, audit logs record who saw and changed what, and data retention rules are agreed with you before launch. We capture your privacy and compliance requirements during discovery, so they are part of the design from the start.
Moving from an old intranet
Most portal projects replace something: an old intranet, a set of shared drives or both. We plan the move so staff keep the knowledge they rely on.
- A content audit that marks each page and file to keep, update or archive, with an owner for each.
- Migration scripts that move content, its folders and its access settings into the new structure.
- Redirect maps, so old links in emails and bookmarks still open the right page.
- A phased rollout by department, with training, so each team moves when it is ready.
How a portal project runs
Every portal project follows the same five steps, and staff use the first release before the whole platform is finished.
Discover
Who uses the portal, which tasks matter most to them and which systems it has to connect to.
Design
The structure, the navigation and the access for each role, reviewed with the people who will use it.
Build and connect
Built in releases, starting with the most used tasks, and connected to your HR system and identity provider.
Migrate and launch
Content moves into the new structure, teams are trained and the portal goes live department by department.
Support
We keep improving the portal after launch through Application Support and Maintenance.
How long it takes: A focused module usually takes 8 to 12 weeks, and a larger program 4 to 9 months in phased releases.

Portal or AI assistant: where this page ends
A portal gives staff one place to find things and get tasks done. A few needs sit next to it and belong to other services.
| You need | Use |
|---|---|
| A staff portal, intranet or HR self-service | Employee Portals and Intranets (this page) |
| Staff asking questions of internal documents with AI | RAG development |
| Approval workflows across the systems behind the portal | Business Process Automation |
| A portal for customers, dealers or citizens | Web Application and Portal Development |
If staff need answers from your internal documents through AI, see RAG development. A RAG assistant can also sit inside the portal as an added feature.
Employee portal and intranet FAQs
Common questions about employee portal and intranet.
Can you integrate with our existing HR system?
Yes. We connect to your HR system and identity provider through their APIs or secure middleware, so staff see current data with one sign-in.
Do you build mobile employee apps?
Yes. We build responsive web portals and mobile apps for field workers and distributed teams who need access on the go.
How do you handle employee data privacy?
We set access by role, encrypt data, keep audit logs and agree data retention rules with you. We capture your privacy and compliance requirements during discovery.
Can you migrate content from an old intranet?
Yes. We run a content audit, write migration scripts, set up redirect maps and roll out in phases, so knowledge is kept during the move.
Can staff ask questions of our documents through the portal?
Yes, as an added AI feature. Our RAG development team builds assistants that answer from your internal documents with sources, and we can place one inside the portal.
