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.

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.

Planning to build Power Apps?

If you have identified manual processes or spreadsheet-driven workflows, a discovery conversation can help prioritise the right applications.

We help you:

  • Identify high-value use cases
  • Design apps that scale
  • Avoid unnecessary complexity
  • Align Power Apps with wider Power Platform strategy

What do our customers say?

“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 has, from the start, been very honest and clear about what we can achieve without spending vast sums of money on an entirely new system. We created an automation wish list for Avrion, who were brilliant at listening and communicating as they tailored the project specifically to the scope. 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. We now have a system that can evolve as the development does, to improve and continually improve account visibility for our homeowners and improve cash flow by utilising the automation that we required.”

Carly Cullen – Priors Hall Park Management

“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. After almost a year of trying unsuccessfully to engage with our existing partner, trying to get them to talk about upgrading and personalising the system, we decided to switch over to Avrion. Avrion had been in conversation with us and once we engaged with them, they immediately gave us something unique. They allowed us to effectively have an off-the-shelf CRM system that we could customise – at affordable rates. Rates that are competitive for SMEs. Once we formed a partnership with Avrion, for the first time in seventeen years we were working with a really engaged partner, which is something unique. 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

“After a feasibility study designed to ascertain which CRM to integrate into our business, I found that Avrion put together the best end scenario and product, Maximizer, to take our business forward. The team at Avrion showed their diligence and knowledge, which was a clear deciding factor in instigating our partnership. We look forward to strengthening our relationship going forward, as CRM evolution never stops! 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’s AI and automation solution transformed our operations. What used to take three full-time staff days to process now happens automatically - accurately, consistently, and at scale. We’ve reclaimed time, reduced errors, and empowered our team to focus on higher-value work. It’s been transformative.”

COO at a leading UK waste management company

“Working with Avrion has been easy – not just because they understand the business, but because they are open to helping make things work. The answer is almost never “no” – but if it is – there is always an alternative solution to get around the issue put forward.”

Charlotte Hurrell – Belvoir Group

“With our workload and team outgrowing our old method of workflow management, we needed a solution. Having worked with Avrion in the past, we asked them to take a look. Dave, Nick and Sam took the time to go through our process with us. It was decided that a ticketing system was required - the guys set up what we required and assisted us whilst we inputted our data and got it going. I think the level of customer service we have received from Avrion is 5 stars.”

Mike Bevan – SPM Instrument UK

“Working with Avrion has been amazing from start to finish. We use Maximizer as a main system, however we required a bespoke quote tool building for our sales team. From start to finish, the integration of the software and support has been nothing short of phenomenal. Their entire team are very knowledgeable, efficient and nothing is ever too much. We look forward to using Avrion moving forward and continuing a great business relationship.”

Luke Hogg – Knoxford Fabrications

“We found Avrion very professional, yet friendly and fun to do business with. They really gained our trust.”

Chris Howard – BearingNet

“We were looking for best service provider for our CRM system and we came across with Avrion in 2016 and since then we have never turned back in terms of CRM system. This was our best step to move with Avrion as they understood our requirement quickly with excellent solutions and also within our budget. Working with Avrion is wonderful experience; we never need to approach them for any issues as they are always one step ahead by taking regular follow-ups. They are quick and punctual in terms of completing project. We have undertaken many projects so far and are more than happy to say that their solution is up to the mark. Avrion's people are the greatest asset of the company. I really recommend Avrion not only CRM system but for many other IT solutions as well.”
