CUSTOM BUSINESS APPLICATIONS

Custom Business Application Development with Power Apps, Azure and .NET

Our custom business application development covers what standard software cannot. We build mobile apps, web apps, portals and automated workflows. We connect them to Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365 and your other systems.

What We Build

We build six types of application.

Mobile application interface displayed on a smartphone screen for field and remote employees

Mobile Applications

Line-of-Business Applications

How We Choose the Technology

We choose between Power Apps, .NET and Azure based on how complex the requirement is, how many users and transactions it must handle, and who will support it afterwards. Simple needs can use low-code tools. Complex needs may call for a fully engineered application.

Whichever technology we choose, the application connects to Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, Azure and your third-party systems. After go-live, our Managed Services and Support team supports it.

Questions About Custom Business Applications

What are custom business applications?

Custom business applications are software built for your own processes. They fill gaps that standard software leaves, such as a field tool, a customer portal or an approval workflow.

When should we build custom software instead of buying standard software?

Build custom software when standard software cannot meet a clear need. It is also worth building when forcing your process into standard software would cost more. If a standard product fits, we will tell you.

Should we use Power Apps or custom code?

Use Power Apps for forms, approvals and internal tools. It is usually quicker to deliver. Use custom code on .NET and Azure for complex, high-volume or highly specific applications. We recommend one after we review your requirement.

Can the application connect to Dynamics 365 and Microsoft 365?

Yes. We connect applications to Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, Azure and third-party systems. This keeps your data in one place and avoids retyping.

Can you build a mobile app for our field staff?

Yes. We build mobile applications for staff in the field, at customer sites or away from a desk. We can build them in Power Apps or with Ionic Framework.

Can you support the application after launch?

Yes. Our Managed Services and Support team can support the application after go-live. We agree service levels with you.

How long does a custom application take to build?

It depends on the scope, the number of systems it connects to and the technology we choose. We confirm a timeline after we review your requirement.
