Overview

Purpose-built apps on top of your Dynamics 365 data - without months of custom development

Microsoft Power Apps enables teams to build tailored business applications on top of Dataverse, Dynamics 365, SharePoint, and external data sources - extending what your ERP and CRM do without replacing them or launching expensive custom development projects.

At DynamicUnit, we build Power Apps that are properly architected - not fragile Canvas apps built in a day that break under real-world usage. Whether it's a model-driven app that extends Dynamics 365 CRM, a Canvas app for field staff, or a complex Dataverse solution that replaces a legacy database, we design for performance, maintainability, and user adoption from the start.

Power Apps is part of the broader Microsoft Power Platform strategy. Combined with Power BI for analytics and Power Automate for workflow automation, it forms a complete layer for extending Business Central and Finance & Operations without traditional custom development. For organisations on Azure, we also leverage Azure Functions and API Management for complex backend logic. Our Dynamics 365 integration team handles connector design when your app needs to read or write data across multiple systems.

Our Capabilities

What our Power Apps practice delivers

From rapid Canvas apps to enterprise Dataverse solutions - here's the full scope.

Canvas App Development

Build pixel-perfect Canvas apps for field staff, inspections, approvals, and data capture - optimised for mobile and tablet use.

Model-Driven Apps

Extend Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement with custom model-driven apps built on Dataverse - sharing security roles, data, and workflows with your CRM.

Dataverse Solution Design

Design Dataverse tables, relationships, choices, and business rules that give your apps a structured, scalable data foundation.

Dynamics 365 Integration

Connect Power Apps directly to Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Business Central, and CE - reading and writing data without duplication or middleware overhead.

Power Automate Flows

Build automated approval workflows, notifications, and data sync flows that trigger from app actions - tightly coupled to your Power Apps solution.

PCF Component Development

Build Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) controls for custom UI requirements that go beyond what standard controls provide out of the box.

ALM & Environment Strategy

Set up Development, Test, and Production environments with Azure DevOps pipelines for controlled, repeatable Power Apps deployments.

Support & Enhancements

Ongoing managed support, bug fixes, and feature development so your Power Apps solution evolves with your business needs.

Why DynamicUnit

What makes us the right Power Apps partner

Power Apps is easy to start but hard to scale. We've seen too many quick-build Canvas apps that can't handle real user loads or real data volumes. We build apps with the architecture they need to work reliably from day one.

Architecture Before Code

We design the Dataverse schema, security model, and environment strategy before building a single screen - because fixing architecture later is expensive.

Deep Dataverse Expertise

We understand Dataverse at the platform level - tables, relationships, business rules, plug-ins, and the Dataverse security model - not just the drag-and-drop surface.

Microsoft-Certified Developers

Our Power Platform developers hold active certifications and are familiar with the full ALM toolchain - Azure DevOps, solution packaging, and environment management.

Built to Scale

Apps are built with delegation, connection limits, and Dataverse performance patterns in mind - so they work when you have 10 users and when you have 1,000.

Fast, Iterative Delivery

We deliver working app increments in short sprints with stakeholder feedback built in - so you're using a real, tested app weeks after engagement start, not months.

Transparent, Fixed-Scope Pricing

We scope app requirements carefully before quoting. What we agree to build is what gets built - no scope inflation at the review stage.

How We Work

From requirements to production app in 4 phases

1
Requirements & Architecture Design

We document the use case, define data requirements, choose the right app type (Canvas vs. model-driven), and design the Dataverse schema and security model before writing a single formula.

2
Dataverse Setup & Integration Build

We build the Dataverse tables, relationships, and business rules, then configure integrations with Dynamics 365, SharePoint, or external APIs.

3
App Build & User Testing

We build the app in short sprints with stakeholder demos at each milestone. Power Automate flows for approvals and notifications are built alongside the app, not bolted on later.

4
Deployment, Training & Support

We deploy via ALM pipelines to production, train end users, and provide ongoing managed support for bug fixes, enhancements, and new feature requests.

FAQ

Common questions about Power Apps

Microsoft Power Apps is a low-code application development platform that lets organisations build custom business applications on top of Dataverse, Dynamics 365, SharePoint, and external APIs. It supports two primary app types: Canvas apps (fully custom UI, good for mobile and field use cases) and Model-driven apps (form-based apps built on Dataverse, tightly integrated with Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement).

Canvas apps give you full control over the UI layout - ideal for mobile field apps, inspections, or custom data capture forms. Model-driven apps are built on Dataverse tables and follow the structured form/view/dashboard pattern - better suited for complex data management scenarios and extensions to Dynamics 365 CE. We help you choose the right type for the use case before starting development.

Yes. Power Apps connects natively to Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement and Business Central through Dataverse connectors. For Finance & Operations, we use the OData virtual entity framework or Azure API Management to expose F&O data to Power Apps - without replicating data to a separate database.

Simple Canvas apps for data capture or field use can be production-ready in 2–4 weeks. Complex model-driven apps with custom Dataverse schemas, business rules, and integration flows typically run 6–12 weeks. We scope precisely before quoting, so you know what you're getting and when you'll get it.

Licensing depends on the app type and data sources. Apps using standard connectors (SharePoint, Excel) are covered under Microsoft 365 licences. Apps using Dataverse require Power Apps per-user or per-app licences. We advise on the most cost-effective licensing structure for your use case as part of the initial engagement - before you commit to any build.

A straightforward Canvas app for data capture or field use typically takes 2–4 weeks and sits in the low five-figure range. Complex model-driven apps with custom Dataverse schemas, integrations, and Power Automate flows usually run 6–12 weeks at a mid five-figure engagement. We provide a fixed-scope quote after the requirements and architecture phase so there are no surprises.
