Power Apps
Building applications that fit how your teams actually work
Replace spreadsheets and manual work with secure, scalable applications built for real business processes.
Many organisations rely on spreadsheets, emails and legacy tools to run critical processes. Over time, these workarounds become fragile, inefficient and difficult to scale.
Power Apps enables organisations to build custom applications quickly, using trusted data and security models. Avrion ensures those applications are designed properly, governed correctly and built to last.

What Power Apps should deliver
Power Apps are not about building apps for the sake of it. It is about solving specific problems efficiently.
When implemented correctly, Power Apps allow organisations to:
- Replace spreadsheets and email-based processes
- Build applications tailored to specific teams and workflows
- Improve data quality and consistency
- Reduce reliance on unsupported tools
- Deliver solutions faster than traditional development
The goal is simplicity for users and confidence for the business.
Common challenges with business-built applications
Power Apps make application development accessible, but that accessibility can create risk without the right structure.
Common issues include:
- Apps built quickly without scalability in mind
- Inconsistent data models
- Poor user experience leading to low adoption
- Lack of documentation and ownership
- Security and access control concerns
Without design discipline, applications become short-term fixes rather than long-term solutions.
Key Power Apps capabilities we implement
Custom internal applications
We build applications for teams across the organisation, including:
- Sales and operational teams
- Service and support functions
- Finance and compliance processes
- Management and approval workflows
All designed around real day-to-day usage.
Mobile and tablet experiences
Power Apps work across devices.
We design apps that:
- Work effectively on desktop, tablet and mobile
- Support field and remote teams
- Capture data accurately at the point of work
Improving adoption and data quality.
- Revenue planning sessions
- Power BI reporting where required
Creating pathways between AI-driven signals and leadership strategy.
Integration with Power Automate
Applications become more powerful when connected to automation.
We combine Power Apps with Power Automate to:
- Trigger workflows from app actions
- Reduce manual follow-ups
- Keep data synchronised across systems
Creating seamless, end-to-end processes.
Secure data and access control
Applications are only as safe as their security model.
Avrion ensures:
- Role-based access is enforced
- Sensitive data is protected
- Applications align with organisational policies
- Changes are controlled and auditable
Power Apps and Dynamics 365
Power Apps are a natural extension of Dynamics 365.
We regularly use them to:
- Extend Dynamics functionality without custom code
- Build role-specific interfaces
- Support niche processes not covered out of the box
- Improve usability for specific teams
All while keeping data centralised and secure.
Already using Power Apps?
If Power Apps have been built organically, a Business Health Check can help you assess quality, risk and scalability.
We assess:
- Existing apps and usage
- Data models and integrations
- Security and access control
- Governance and ownership
And provide clear recommendations to improve reliability and adoption.
The Avrion approach to Power Apps
We treat Power Apps as part of a wider system, not standalone tools.
Our approach focuses on:
- Understanding the process before designing the app
- Defining clear user roles and permissions
- Designing intuitive, efficient user experiences
- Aligning apps to Dataverse and core systems
- Establishing lifecycle management and governance
This ensures applications remain usable, secure and scalable as requirements evolve.

What do our customers say?
“Connolly's Red Mills have been working with Avrion since 2017 with our Maximizer implementation and have found them to be a great company to deal with, projects completed in a timely manner to a high standard.”
David Dewberry – Connolly’s Red Mills“We can now see in real time how all of our opportunities are progressing. We also have automated reports in our Dashboard module showing the business sales performance and pipeline, which allows us to focus on each individual opportunity without any being left unnurtured. Avrion has now linked our Maximizer with Mailchimp to allow for focused marketing campaigns based on the data we add to the Address Book. We now have a clear sales process that can be tracked with clear ‘what’s next’ actions to implement.”
Craig Sansom – Prestige“Avrion enabled the changes to revolutionise our workflow through small steps that added huge impact. Not many people do that.”
Cole Fellows – The Insurance Network“I’m using Power BI a lot more now than I did when we started with creating refreshable dashboards for the Senior Leadership Team and other management levels showing different elements of the business. We are doing this by implementing the data warehouse built by Avrion, which is very handy. I love Power BI and think it is such a great tool that every business can have/use as it turns your raw data into a story that shows different aspects from the company over time.”
Dan Costin – Restore Datashred“We found the team at Avrion really understood our needs. It felt like they’d seen it all before, and that gave us confidence from day one. With Maximizer CRM, what it really does is allow us to track that from start to result stage… it’s helped change the mentality of our business.”
Chris Harrison – Heidelberg Materials Contracting“At our internal review in 2019 we, as a company, asked if we were doing ourselves justice using Maximizer as our CRM solution or was there something better? We concluded that the price point for the system gives us a budget to develop our own specific customisations that are more beneficial for productivity and efficiency as well.”
Cole Fellows – The Insurance Network“Maximizer CRM has been an invaluable tool. It enables us to be very efficient, keep on top of client projects and opportunities, and deliver the service we want to for our customers.”
Graham Cording – Smart Presentations“Avrion is an agile, approachable, friendly company. They are easy to deal with and deliver on what they set out to achieve.”
Tom Crowther – Belvoir“Our project involved coupling existing platforms with new CRM technologies, training and a complex project roll-out. Avrion managed the transition without fuss or any ‘catch-you’ extra fees – a job well done.”
David English – Restore plc“Avrion built the system according to our needs and fine-tuned it as required once we began to use it. They have been very supportive throughout and helped us navigate through the entire process.”
