Power Automate & Power Apps

Turn spreadsheets, paper forms and copy-and-paste jobs into simple apps and automated workflows, built on the Microsoft 365 you're probably already paying for.

The problem

Most businesses run on processes that grew up by accident: a spreadsheet emailed around for approval, a paper form typed in again later, someone copying data from one system to another every Friday. They work until that person is off sick, or the spreadsheet gets overwritten.

Microsoft 365 already includes tools to fix this, but building something reliable takes more than dragging boxes around, and a quick fix that only one person understands becomes the next problem.

What we can do
  • Automated workflows with Power Automate: approvals, notifications, document handling and moving data between systems
  • Business apps with Power Apps to replace spreadsheets and paper forms, on desktop, tablet and phone
  • Connect Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, Outlook and many third-party services
  • Fix or rebuild flows and apps that have stopped working, or that nobody understands any more
  • Licensing advice, so you know what is included in Microsoft 365 and what needs extra licences before you build
  • Governance: environments, data loss prevention policies and ownership, so solutions stay secure and supported
  • Documentation and training, so your own staff can look after what we build
Who it's for

Businesses with repetitive admin tasks, processes held together by spreadsheets and email, or flows and apps built in-house that have become hard to maintain.

How it's charged

Work is charged at our standard day rate. We agree the scope and the number of days with you before anything starts, so there are no surprises, and it's invoiced separately from any monthly services.

How it works
  1. Map the processHow the work is done today, who is involved and where it goes wrong.
  2. Design and quoteWhat we will build, which licences it needs, and how many days it will take.
  3. Build and testBuilt in stages with your team testing as we go, so there are no surprises at the end.
  4. Hand overDocumentation and training for the people who will use and look after it.
Who does the work

We've designed and delivered Power Automate and Power Apps solutions for real businesses, and we build with security in mind from the start: who can see the data, where it is stored and what happens when someone leaves.

Questions
Often not. Many workflows and apps run on the Power Platform features included with most Microsoft 365 business plans. Some connectors and data sources need premium licences, and we'll tell you which before we build anything.
It's a common problem. We document everything we build, keep it owned by the business rather than one person's account, and can take over and tidy up flows built by someone else.
Power Automate has connectors for hundreds of common services, and can work with many others through their APIs. We'll check yours during scoping.
