Common Workflows We Build With Power Apps
If a process still runs on paper, email or a workbook only one person trusts, it's a good Power Apps candidate. These are the apps we build most often. Client names are kept private.
Field inspections and mobile data collection
Inspectors fill out forms on a phone or tablet and the report builds itself. For a medical gas inspection company we replaced Excel and Word inspection workflows with Power Apps on Azure SQL, cutting report generation time by about 80% and data entry errors by 92%. Read the medical gas inspection case study.
Approvals, audits and HR workflows
Approvals that live in email chains move into one app with routing, history and validation. For a multi location nonprofit we built a payroll audit app with configurable validations that cut manual effort by 70% to 80%, more than 35 hours a month.
Production calculators and shop floor tools
When the math runs on an Excel file or an old HTML page, we convert it to Power Apps so everyone uses the same version. We've done this for an industrial manufacturer's resin calculator and a set of production calculators.
IT intake and governance hubs
Requests, approvals and project tracking in one place on SharePoint and Power Apps, connected to the tools IT already uses. See how a municipality runs IT project intake with TeamDynamix and Google Workspace integrations.
Project data and reporting
For a top 5 national commercial construction firm we used Power Apps and Power Automate to pull Primavera P6 data into reporting. Analysis prep went from about 5 days to under 1 day.
Deal capture and Dataverse systems
When the process is too relational for a simple canvas app, we build model driven apps on Dataverse. For an energy trading firm that meant capturing exchange deals, confirmations and invoices in one system, with Power BI on top.
Portals, AI and InfoPath Rebuilds
Power Apps rarely stands alone. We also cover the pieces around it.
Power Pages for external portals
When customers, vendors or partners need to sign in, submit requests or check status, we build Power Pages portals on the same Dataverse data your internal app uses.
AI Builder and Copilot inside your apps
We add AI Builder to read documents and classify submissions, and Copilot Studio agents where a guided assistant helps users finish a task. We only add AI where it saves real work.
InfoPath form rebuilds
Microsoft retired InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint Online in July 2026 and there is no migration tool. We inventory your forms, rebuild them in Power Apps and Power Automate, and plan for the data already submitted.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are Power Apps consulting services?
Power Apps consulting services help businesses plan, build, and deploy custom low-code applications on Microsoft’s Power Platform. A consulting partner handles everything from strategy and architecture to development, integrations, training, and ongoing support, so organizations can get more value from their Microsoft investment without relying solely on internal IT resources.
How long does a Power Apps project typically take?
Timelines vary based on complexity. A simple workflow app or SharePoint form replacement can be completed in a few weeks, while a multi-system integration or model-driven app built on Dataverse may take several months. ESW provides realistic timelines during the discovery phase so you can plan and budget accordingly from the start.
What types of applications can be built with Power Apps?
Power Apps supports a wide range of business applications, including employee onboarding systems, inventory and asset management tools, mobile apps, approval workflows, CRM extensions, field inspection apps, compliance tracking tools, and internal portals. If your team is managing a process manually or through spreadsheets, it is likely a strong candidate for a Power Apps solution.
How does Power Apps development cost compare to traditional software?
Low-code development with Power Apps can dramatically reduce build time and cost compared to traditional custom software. According to a Forrester Total Economic Impact study commissioned by Microsoft, organizations using Power Platform report up to 188% ROI over three years, driven by faster development cycles, reduced reliance on professional developers, and lower long-term maintenance overhead.
Does ESW offer Power Apps training for internal teams?
Yes. eSoftware Associates provides customized training programs tailored to your organization’s specific apps and workflows. Training can cover end-user adoption, administrator responsibilities, and power user skills. Programs are designed to build confidence and self-sufficiency within your team so you can continue to develop and manage your Power Apps environment over time.
Can Power Apps connect to systems outside of Microsoft 365?
Yes. Power Apps includes hundreds of pre-built connectors for third-party tools, including Salesforce, ServiceNow, Google Workspace, SAP, and many others. For systems without a pre-built connector, ESW can build custom connectors using REST APIs, enabling system integration with virtually any modern software platform your business relies on.
What is the difference between canvas apps and model-driven apps?
Canvas apps give developers full control over the app layout and user experience, making them ideal for targeted, task-specific workflows. Model-driven apps are built on the common data model in Dataverse and are better suited for complex, data-heavy processes that require structured data management, relationship modeling, and built-in business logic. ESW recommends the right approach based on your specific use case.
How does ESW handle Power Platform governance and security?
ESW establishes governance frameworks that cover security roles, data loss prevention policies, environment strategies, and licensing controls. This ensures your power platform solutions remain compliant, cost-efficient, and aligned with your organization’s IT standards from day one, with clear ownership and controls that scale as your usage grows.
How does Power Apps licensing work?
Many Microsoft 365 plans include Power Apps use rights for apps that use Microsoft 365 data and standard connectors, such as SharePoint lists. Apps that use premium connectors, Dataverse or on premises data need a premium license, most often Power Apps Premium per user. Microsoft also offers pay as you go billing through Azure, and as of January 2, 2026 the per app plan is no longer sold to new customers through some channels. We review licensing during discovery so you know your run costs before you build. See Microsoft’s Power Platform licensing overview for current terms.
Can you replace our InfoPath forms with Power Apps?
Yes. Microsoft retired InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint Online on July 14, 2026, and there is no migration tool. We inventory your forms, rebuild them in Power Apps with Power Automate handling routing and approvals, and plan how to keep the data already submitted.
When should we use Power Pages instead of Power Apps?
Use Power Apps for your own staff. Use Power Pages when customers, vendors or partners need to sign in, submit requests or see their own records. Both can run on the same Dataverse data, so your internal app and external portal stay in sync.
