Replace spreadsheets and manual processes
Turn fragmented forms, workbooks and email-based processes into structured applications with controlled data capture and clear workflows.
Data & Analytics — Data Applications
Where Your Data Goes to Work
We build practical data applications that help people collect, manage and act on information — using Microsoft Power Platform and analytics tools where they fit, custom development where they don’t, and often a combination of both.
Why Data Applications?
Analytics is most valuable when it connects directly to the work behind the data.
Sometimes that means capturing better data. Sometimes it means replacing spreadsheets and manual processes. Sometimes it means putting analytics, workflow and action into a tool designed around how people actually work.
Connect data collection to analytics
Capture information once and make it immediately available for reporting, analysis and operational decision-making.
Use the right technology for the job
We configure Microsoft tools where they fit and add custom development where they don't — without forcing the whole solution onto one platform.
Build around the user and the process
Applications are designed around the people doing the work, with the controls, workflow and information they need in one place.
The Right Technology for the Requirement
Configure. Build. Or blend the two.
We don’t start from a platform preference. We look at the process the application must support, then choose how to build each part. We don’t force the problem to fit the technology.
Configure
Use proven Microsoft tools
When Microsoft tools already meet the requirement, we configure rather than reinvent. Power Pages, Power Apps, Power BI, Fabric and Azure allow us to build secure, supportable solutions quickly on technology many organisations already use.

- Power BI
- Fabric & Azure
Build
Develop what the platform can't provide
Where the requirement goes beyond off-the-shelf capability, we add custom development — from tailored data capture and workflow components to Python pipelines and dedicated web applications.
- Custom data capture
- Workflow components
- Python pipelines
Blend
Combine the two
This is often where we work best. We combine Microsoft platforms with custom components to create an integrated solution around the requirement — rather than compromising the requirement to fit a particular product.
- Integrated end to end
- No forced platform
What We Build
The shape of the application follows the requirement. These are the types we build most often — frequently several within a single solution.
Data collection applications
Replace spreadsheets, paper forms and fragmented collection processes with structured, validated data capture — integrated directly with your analytics.
Operational workflow applications
Turn data into managed processes, with tasks, ownership, status, approvals and actions built around how teams actually work.
Portals and user-facing applications
Secure web applications that give clinicians, managers, customers or other users access to the data and functionality relevant to them.
Custom analytics applications
Bring data, analytics and purpose-built functionality together where a dashboard alone isn't enough — from specialist analytical tools to applications supporting complex operational decisions.
Behind these applications we also build the integrations, pipelines, automation and data services needed to connect them securely to your wider data estate.
From insight to action
- Power BI identifies the issue
- Action created
- Owner assigned
- Deadline tracked
- Outcome monitored
We developed our own action-tracking application to extend analytics into the management process — giving teams a structured way to turn findings into owned actions and monitor them through to completion.
Our Proven Approach
We design around the requirement, choose the build approach deliberately, and hand over something your team can own — built on mainstream, supportable platforms and documented so it can be run and extended without us.
01
Understand the requirement
We start with the process, decision or user need — what people are trying to do, what data is involved and where the current approach falls short.
02
Design the solution
We define the workflow, data requirements and user experience, and decide which elements should be configured, custom-built or blended.
03
Build & integrate
We configure the low-code components and write the custom code, wiring both into your governed data estate so the application draws from a single source of truth.
04
Deploy, hand over & support
We deploy into your environment, document what we build on mainstream, supportable platforms, and hand it over so your team can own it — staying available to enhance it through our analytics managed service.
Data Applications in practice
Real data & analytics engagements — what the challenge was, what we built and what changed as a result.
