Microsoft Power Platform
The spreadsheet that runs the process, the inbox where approvals go quiet, the form that still gets printed. We replace those workarounds with governed Power Apps: custom applications connected to your data, working on every device, built on the Microsoft platform you already own.
Easy To Use, Easy To Maintain
Most processes never start life in an app. They start in a spreadsheet, grow an email approval step, then quietly become business-critical with no audit trail and one person who understands how they work. This page covers how we turn those processes into Power Apps: governed, low-code applications connected to your data and delivered in weeks rather than quarters.
Power Apps suits almost anything a form and a workflow can describe. Internal tools that remove repetitive manual work, field apps that keep working offline, secure screens over data that currently lives in shared drives. If your teams pass spreadsheets around to get work done, there is very likely an app in there. For processes that need automating rather than an interface, see our Power Automate practice.
What separates a Power App that thrives from one that gets quietly abandoned is rarely the platform; it is the engineering discipline around it. Every app we build ships in solutions with proper ALM, a Dataverse model designed to survive growth, security roles that map to how your organisation actually works, and documentation the next maker can follow.
The evidence is on this page. Skanska put an app we built together in front of roughly 9,000 employees and saw adoption increase tenfold. Seras Energy replaced manual material management with an app delivered six weeks ahead of schedule. The pattern in both: real workshops with real users before a screen was designed.
Power Apps, delivered by a Microsoft Business Applications Specialist
Create responsive, user-centric applications with complete design flexibility. We build canvas apps with intuitive interfaces that behave consistently across desktop and mobile devices.
Develop structured, enterprise-grade applications with standardised components and metadata-driven architecture. Our solutions use the model-driven framework for scalability and maintainability.
Extend Power Apps connectivity with custom connectors to legacy systems and third-party services. We design secure, authenticated integrations that keep data moving reliably between platforms.
Build robust data models in Microsoft Dataverse with proper relationships, security roles, and business rules. Our designs optimise performance and ensure data integrity across your applications.
Create native mobile applications that work offline and sync when connected. We develop solutions optimised for field workers, remote teams, and on-the-go access to critical business data.
Deliver intuitive interfaces that users love. Our design approach focuses on usability, accessibility, and brand consistency while maintaining performance across all devices.

Our Power App Consultants complete an in-depth consultation to understand the current business process and systems in place. If you are unsure where productivity can be improved, our consultants can collaborate with your team to find limitations and develop a solution.
A custom solution is presented to your team taking into consideration efficiency, time scale, cost-effectiveness, and your project goals.
Our Power App developers build a custom application to upgrade your current business process. We develop a framework that helps your users spot opportunities for growth and build on the solution quickly and securely.
We train your staff on how to use the new application to make the most out of their new app. Our specialists provide hands-on practical experience to ensure a smooth handover process.
App Architecture
It is the first architectural decision of every Power Apps build, and choosing on instinct is how apps end up fighting their own framework a year later. The honest answer depends on what the app is for, and plenty of estates rightly use both.
| Criteria | Canvas apps | Model-driven apps |
|---|---|---|
| Built around | The user experience: you design every screen | The data model: the framework generates the UI |
| Best for | Task-focused apps, mobile and field scenarios, bespoke UX | Process-heavy, record-centric applications at enterprise scale |
| Design freedom | Complete: pixel-level control of every screen | Constrained but consistent: forms, views and dashboards |
| Data sources | Hundreds of connectors, Dataverse optional | Dataverse-first, with its security model built in |
| Maintenance | UX changes are yours to make and test | Model changes flow through automatically |
| Watch out for | Complex apps growing beyond canvas comfort | Users expecting a bespoke interface |
Our rule of thumb: canvas when the experience is the product, model-driven when the process is. Larger solutions often pair them, with a model-driven core for administrators and canvas apps for the people in the field. We make the call per app during discovery, and it costs nothing to get it right first time.

"They listened, challenged our assumptions, and delivered night-and-day results."
"From the very first conversation, Synapx stood out. They didn't offer a one-size-fits-all solution; they listened, understood our workflows, and constructively challenged our assumptions. Since launch, the difference has been night and day: engagement is up, performance is dramatically better, and our teams now have a single, connected space for learning and communication. I'd recommend Synapx to any organisation looking to get more out of Microsoft technology."
Project/Programme Manager, Skanska
"A robust digital ecosystem that empowers our teams."
"Synapx automated complex, manual processes, modernised legacy systems, and delivered scalable Power Platform solutions that streamline workflows and provide real-time insights. Their standout achievement was integrating SiteOps for accurate, real-time management of materials and compliance across multiple sites. Thanks to their future-proof architecture, we now have a robust digital ecosystem that empowers our teams."
Head of Projects & Service Delivery, Seras Energy Ltd

Canvas apps are our default for task-focused, UX-rich scenarios and mobile or offline use. Model-driven apps fit process-heavy, data-model-centric applications, especially when integrated with Dynamics 365. Many estates use both, and we help you pick the right pattern per use case.
A focused business app typically goes live in 6–10 weeks. Larger line-of-business solutions replacing legacy systems usually run 3–6 months and are often split into multiple releases to deliver value sooner.
When requirements demand a highly customised UX at scale, very high concurrent user counts, complex real-time processing or deep non-Microsoft ecosystem integration. We are happy to say so and recommend a different approach when that is the right answer.
We always use solutions, environment separation (dev / test / prod) and pipelines – either Power Platform Pipelines or Azure DevOps / GitHub Actions – so apps move between environments in a controlled, auditable way.
Yes. We use Dataverse, Microsoft connectors, custom connectors, Azure API Management and Azure integration services to connect Power Apps to CRM, ERP, line-of-business APIs and SaaS platforms.
Yes. Synapx-as-a-Service includes ongoing support, enhancement and Microsoft update management for Power Apps, so your solutions keep pace with platform changes and business needs.
