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?
“We would highly recommend Avrion for both CRM and tech support applications. We recently upgraded our tech support function for both internal and external support requests. This has improved our response times, planning, service level agreements and overview of the department. Avrion is always ready to suggest improvements and evolution for our business. A big thanks to Dave, Nick and Sam at Avrion for their work on this project.”
James Blair – SPM Instrument UK“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.”
Cole Fellows – The Insurance Network“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“Integrating over 30 acquisitions, meant harmonising over 60 customer databases. Impressive, but of little use if the data is unstructured. Maximizer meant structured data, yes it requires focus, but the output is efficient to say the least; the new improved pipeline made us twice as effective, cross selling across the 5 business units - closure went up 4-fold. Integrating this with front line operational calls gave us a holistic view, reducing hundreds of days spent on internal calls, joining up the dots for our customers. Opportunities grew by over 20% with straightforward data polishing. The icing on the cake was with GDPR, good process with opt-outs and customer choice on contact options. When you feed this into the business it allows us to be focussed on the day-to-day operation, the back-end processes of store, scan and shred just become slicker – our focus with customers substantially better. Hundreds of hours freed up for improvements on invoicing, value added services, the day to day delivery with document management”
David English – Restore plc“Avrion is able to grasp a concept quickly and turn it into a deliverable that can make a significant difference to a business. They take the time to understand the requirement, taking concepts and ideas and turning them into tangible benefits to achieve the best outcome possible for the customer.”
Jasmin Dudden – Restore Datashred“We found Avrion very professional, yet friendly and fun to do business with. They really gained our trust.”
Chris Howard – BearingNet“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!”
Craig Sansom – Prestige“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.”
Satish Ghaghada – CWC“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“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.”
