Power Apps approvals and internal apps for UK organisations.
We build Power Apps and Power Automate solutions for UK organisations: approvals with an audit trail, mobile inspection forms, request and booking tools. We work remotely and plan calls inside UK working hours.
Tell us about your project
When Power Apps is a good fit, and when it is not.
We would rather tell you early that something belongs elsewhere than build it badly.
Good fit: internal processes
Forms, approvals, requests and registers used by your own staff, backed by SharePoint, Dataverse or SQL.
Good fit: mobile capture for field teams
Inspections, site visits and audits with photos, location and signatures captured on a phone or tablet.
Think twice: lots of data in SharePoint lists
Lists work well into the thousands of items, but list views hit a 5,000 item threshold and canvas apps have delegation limits (500 records by default, up to 2,000). Dataverse or SQL is the safer store for large or fast-growing data.
Think twice: customer-facing apps
Public sites with heavy traffic or strict branding are usually better served by Power Pages or a custom web build.
Not a fit: replacing a core system
Power Apps is good at the gaps around your ERP or case system. It is not a substitute for one.
Four common starting points.
Approvals with an audit trail
Purchase, expense, leave, contract and policy approvals in Power Automate, with named approvers, escalation and a record of who approved what and when.
Inspection and audit apps
Mobile checklists for sites, vehicles, equipment or premises, with photos and sign-off, feeding a Power BI report.
Request and booking tools
IT, facilities and HR requests, room and equipment booking, onboarding checklists, all in one place instead of email.
Replacing the critical spreadsheet
The tracker that everyone depends on and nobody trusts. We keep what works about it and add validation, permissions and history.
Industries
Power Apps for industries in the UK.
Typical apps for organisations in these sectors.
Retail and consumer goods
Store inspections, stock checks, returns and store requests that reach head office the same day.
Financial services
Expense and payment approvals, document checklists and an audit history for every decision.
Healthcare and life sciences
Equipment and staff registers, inspection forms and approvals that replace paper and spreadsheets.
Legal and professional services
Matter and time approvals, client onboarding forms and project expense claims.
Microsoft 365 and Power Platform
Power Apps that work with the tools you already use.
Most apps connect to Power Automate, SharePoint, Power BI or Dataverse. We choose the combination that fits the process.

How we can work with you.
Start with one app, or bring us in for consulting, support or a dedicated team.
The part that surprises people.
Licensing depends on your Microsoft plan and on what the app connects to. We cost it before we build, so there are no surprises after.
| If the app… | Licensing consequence | How we handle it |
|---|---|---|
| Uses only SharePoint, Teams, Outlook and Excel | Usually covered by the Microsoft 365 licences your users already hold, subject to your plan. | Design to stay within this where the requirement allows. |
| Uses premium connectors or Dataverse | Each user needs a Power Apps premium licence, per user or per app, and Dataverse capacity counts. | Cost it before the build and compare against other designs. |
| Is used by customers or suppliers outside your organisation | External users are licensed differently, and Power Pages is often the better fit. | Check which option applies and price it up front. |
From the people who do the work to a supported app.
- 1
Map the process
A short workshop with the people who actually do the task, not just their managers. We write down what really happens, including the exceptions.
- 2
Build a first version
A working app for those people to try, early enough that their feedback changes it.
- 3
Harden it
Permissions, error handling, audit history, and development, test and production environments with proper release steps.
- 4
Release and support
Training, documentation and a support plan, or training so your own makers can run it.
Questions UK teams ask us
How do we start a project?
With a short workshop with the people who do the task. We write down the process and agree a first version for them to try.
Can you work UK hours?
Calls and reviews fit inside your working day. We agree meeting windows at the start of each project.
Do we need premium licences?
Not always. Apps that use only standard Microsoft 365 connectors are often covered by existing licences. Premium connectors and Dataverse need premium licences. See the licensing table above, and we cost it before build.
Who owns the finished app?
You do. We build in your environment, document it, and train your team. You can maintain it yourselves or have us support it.
