Microsoft Power Apps

Your off-the-shelf software covers most of what your business needs — but not quite all of it. Power Apps closes those gaps with custom web and mobile applications built around your exact processes, connected directly to your Dynamics 365 data, and delivered in days rather than months.

The Gap That Standard Software Always Leaves

Every business has processes that fall between the cracks of their core systems. The site inspection checklist that still lives on paper. The internal expense tool that requires re-keying data into three systems. The customer data collection form that arrives by email and gets manually transferred. The job card process that field engineers track in a personal spreadsheet.

These gaps are not just inefficient — they are a source of errors, compliance risk, and frustration for the people closest to them. Custom software development would solve them, but takes months and costs more than the problem warrants. Power Apps solves them in days.

Works Offline

Canvas apps work without connectivity and sync data automatically when reconnected.

Connected to Live Data

Apps connect directly to Dynamics 365, SharePoint, SQL, and 900+ data sources.

Enterprise Security

Azure AD authentication, role-based access, and full audit trails built in from the start.

Canvas Apps & Model-Driven Apps

Power Apps comes in two forms. Canvas apps give complete design freedom — you build the interface from scratch, drag and drop controls exactly where you need them, and connect to any data source. They are ideal for mobile-first solutions, field engineer apps, inspection tools, and bespoke workflows where the user experience needs to match a specific physical process.

Model-driven apps are built on the Dataverse data structure underlying Dynamics 365. They are ideal for data-intensive business applications where the data model is complex and the interface needs to respond intelligently to that structure — internal case management tools, approval dashboards, and extensions to Dynamics 365 functionality.

Common Power Apps we build for clients

  • Field engineer job card and site inspection apps — offline capable, with photo capture
  • Internal approval and exception management tools
  • Asset and equipment tracking apps connected to Dynamics 365
  • HR onboarding and training completion tracking apps
  • Customer data collection and survey tools
  • Stock checking and goods received apps for warehouse teams

Build Faster with Copilot AI

For Finsys Apps consultants, this accelerates delivery dramatically. For your business teams, it means the people closest to the problem can prototype solutions themselves before Finsys Apps refines and productionises them.

AI Builder integration within Power Apps adds intelligent capabilities — scanning and extracting data from documents, recognising images, detecting objects in photos, and performing text classification — so your apps can process information intelligently rather than just displaying it.

  • Describe your app and Copilot generates the initial screens and data model
  • AI Builder for document scanning, image recognition, and intelligent data extraction
  • Copilot chat assistant embedded in apps for instant contextual help

Why Businesses Choose Finsys Apps for Power Apps

A Power App is only useful if your team actually uses it. The biggest failure mode in low-code app projects is building something technically functional that nobody adopts because it does not quite fit the way people actually work. Finsys Apps spends time with your end users — the field engineers, the operations managers, the finance team — before writing a single line of formula, ensuring the app solves the real problem in the way they will find intuitive.

We also ensure every app is built to production standards — proper data governance, security model, error handling, and documentation — so it does not become technical debt the moment the project ends.

  • User discovery sessions before any build begins
  • Production-grade standards — security, governance, documentation
  • Integrated with your Dynamics 365 and Power Platform environment
  • Adoption support and user training included
  • Ongoing enhancement as your needs evolve

“I started Finsys Apps because I believed businesses deserved better — better implementations, better support, and better outcomes from their technology investment. Every client we work with gets my personal commitment to that standard.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Power Apps and building a custom application?

Custom application development gives you complete control but requires developer resources, significant time, and ongoing maintenance costs. Power Apps delivers purpose-built applications in a fraction of the time and cost, using a low-code environment that Microsoft manages and updates. For most internal business tools and process gaps, Power Apps is significantly more practical. For applications requiring highly complex logic, deep customisation, or integration scenarios Power Apps cannot handle, bespoke development may still be appropriate — Finsys Apps will advise honestly on which approach fits your requirement.

Yes. Canvas apps built with Power Apps support offline operation — users can work without connectivity and data syncs automatically when connection is restored. This is particularly valuable for field-based teams in locations with poor signal. The offline capability needs to be designed into the app from the start, which Finsys Apps handles as a standard requirement for all field-facing applications.

Power Apps connects to Dynamics 365 via Microsoft Dataverse — the shared data platform underlying both products. This means apps built in Power Apps can read and write Dynamics 365 data directly, with the same security model and role-based access controls applied automatically. There is no separate integration layer required, which makes Power Apps the most practical tool for extending Dynamics 365 functionality to new use cases.

A focused, well-scoped Power App typically takes between one and four weeks from discovery to go-live, depending on complexity. Simple single-screen tools can be delivered in days. Finsys Apps follows an iterative delivery approach — getting a working prototype in front of users quickly, then refining based on feedback — so value is realised fast even on more complex projects.
