Close digital gaps - without complex development

In many organizations, core processes are now digital, but gaps still remain in between: Excel spreadsheets, email-based approvals, and manual data entry create disconnects between ERP, CRM, and line-of-business systems. Standard solutions often reach their limits, especially when it comes to specific requirements such as approval workflows, form-based processes, or mobile data capture in the field. 

Microsoft Power Apps closes these gaps. It enables companies to build their own applications tailored exactly to their processes — without traditional software development. The approach is visual, modular, and based directly on existing data sources such as Dynamics 365, Business Central, SharePoint, Azure SQL, or Excel.

Low code - high impact

Power Apps is part of the Microsoft Power Platform and offers different approaches for different needs:

Canvas Apps

Freely designed user interfaces, ideal for individual scenarios such as mobile data entry or approval processes.

Model-driven Apps

Data-centric applications based on Microsoft Dataverse. Perfect for structured processes with clearly defined data models.

Vibe Apps

Vibe Apps are the newest app category in Power Apps and use generative AI with voice-driven interaction. Instead of building traditional interfaces, Vibe Apps enable interactive, conversational applications that users operate through chat or natural language.

Power Pages

With Power Pages, organizations can create websites and portals that allow external audiences to securely interact with their data — for example, partner portals or application websites.

Apps can be integrated into Teams, Outlook, or Dynamics 365 with just a few clicks and extended with workflows through Power Automate.

 

Power Automate

Power Apps enables the rapid development of custom business apps. Ideas become functional applications in a very short time - even without traditional programming. Seamless integration with Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, and Azure supports end-to-end processes without media breaks. At the same time, your data remains protected and scalable in Microsoft Dataverse, centrally managed and secured according to current compliance standards.

FAQ - Power Apps

No. Power Apps is part of the  Microsoft Power Platform and is based on the low-code principle. That means you can create custom business apps without deep programming knowledge - using drag-and-drop and direct connections to your data.

It lets you define how an app behaves or what data it should process, so even employees without a technical programming background can create quick and practical solutions.

Yes. Power Apps runs on Windows, iOS, and Android. Your applications can be used on any device - whether in the office, on the shop floor, or in the field. This keeps your processes digital and up to date everywhere.
