When a Business Process
Has Outgrown Its Current Tools
A process may start with a spreadsheet, SharePoint list, email thread or paper form.
- Multiple versions of the same data
- Manual data entry
- Approval delays
- Limited visibility
- Weak access control
- Difficult mobile access
- Increasing reporting effort
- Processes dependent on individual employees
Canvas App Development
Canvas Apps provide flexibility for operational applications requiring tailored interfaces and user experiences.
PowerFy develops Canvas Apps for scenarios including:
- Inspections
- Field operations
- Request management
- Inventory processes
- Quality processes
- Project operations
- Employee workflows
- Data collection
- Operational dashboards
Applications can connect to Dataverse, SharePoint, SQL, Microsoft 365 and other business systems.
Model-Driven App Development
For data-centric processes requiring structured records, relationships, views and security, model-driven applications provide a scalable foundation.
- Dataverse data models
- Forms and views
- Business process flows
- Role-based security
- Business rules
- Application navigation
- Process automation
- Reporting integration
Dataverse-Backed Applications
The application interface is only one part of the solution.
For more complex requirements, the underlying data model determines how maintainable the application remains.
PowerFy considers:
- Table architecture
- Relationships
- Security roles
- Ownership models
- Data integrity
- Integration requirements
- Environment strategy
- Future application growth
Integrate with Existing Business Systems
Power Apps does not need to become another isolated application.
- Microsoft Dataverse
- SharePoint
- Microsoft 365
- SQL Server
- Dynamics 365
- Power Automate
- Power BI
- APIs
- Existing enterprise systems
Modernize Existing Applications
Power Apps can also provide a controlled modernization path for:
- Excel-based applications
- Microsoft Access solutions
- Legacy forms
- SharePoint-based processes
- Paper workflows
- Older internal applications
The objective is not to reproduce the legacy application screen by screen.
It is to preserve the business capability while removing unnecessary complexity.
