Custom Microsoft Power Apps built around how your business works
Still running your business on spreadsheets, paper forms, or five different tools that don't talk to each other? You're not alone. And you don't need an enterprise IT department to fix it.
Systema Solutions designs and builds custom apps on Microsoft Power Apps to replace manual, error-prone processes that slow your team down. No massive software rollout or six-figure price tag. Just a tool built for the way you actually work.
The problems we solve
You probably didn't come here looking for "a Power Apps solution." You came here because something at work is broken. That's usually one of these:
-
The spreadsheet everyone's afraid to touch. One wrong formula, one accidental delete, and hours of work disappear, or worse, nobody notices until it's too late.
-
Data trapped in silos. Your sales team, warehouse, and finance team are all working off different versions of "the truth," and nobody's numbers match.
-
Paper forms that go missing. Inspection sheets, intake forms, and approval requests get lost, delayed, or filled out inconsistently.
-
No visibility into what's actually happening. You're waiting for someone to email you an update instead of just checking a dashboard.
-
Growing out of "good enough." The manual process that worked with 5 employees is falling apart at 25.
We build custom Power Apps that fix these specific problems. Not generic software that makes you change how you work, but tools shaped around how your team already operates.
Why Small Businesses Choose Power Apps (and Us)
Most off-the-shelf software is built for someone else's business — you end up bending your process to fit the tool. Power Apps flips that. We build the tool to fit your process.
A few reasons our clients make the switch:
-
Faster than traditional software development. Most custom apps are live in weeks, not months.
-
Costs less than you'd expect. Because we're not building from scratch, you're not paying for scratch-built development.
-
Works with what you already have. If your team lives in Microsoft 365, Power Apps fits right in. No new logins, no separate system to maintain.
-
Grows with you. Start with one process (such as time-off requests or job tracking), then expand as new needs arise.
-
You actually own it. No dependency on us for every small change. We make sure your team can manage day-to-day tweaks on their own.
Power Apps + Business Central: Better together
If you run your business on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Power Apps can put that data directly into the hands of the people who need it, without giving everyone a full Business Central license or requiring them to learn a new system.
We connect Power Apps directly to your Business Central data, so your team can view, update, and act on real business information from a phone, tablet, or simple app screen.
Common Power Apps + Business Central projects we build
Mobile sales order entry
Sales reps create and check orders in the field, pulling live pricing, inventory, and customer info straight from Business Central.
Warehouse & inventory apps
Staff scan barcodes to update stock counts, receive shipments, or pick orders. Updates flow straight back into Business Central in real time.
Field service & job apps
Technicians see job details, customer history, and equipment records pulled from Business Central, and log completed work without paperwork.
Approval workflows tied to real data
Customer or vendor self-service portals
Custom dashboards
Purchase orders, expense reports, and vendor approvals that route automatically and update Business Central the moment they're approved.
Staff scan barcodes to update stock counts, receive shipments, or pick orders. Updates flow straight back into Business Central in real time.
Pull data from Business Central alongside other sources (like Excel or SharePoint) into one simple view for managers.
Because the connection runs through Business Central's standard APIs, your data stays in one place. Power Apps is just a friendlier way to reach it.

Common questions about Power Apps
How much does a custom Power Apps project cost? It depends on complexity, but most small business projects with Systema Solutions range from a few thousand dollars for a single-process app to more for multi-app systems. We provide a fixed quote after your free process review, so there are no surprises.
How long does it take to build a Power App? Most single-process apps (like an approval workflow or inspection tool) take 2–6 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger, multi-app projects take longer, and we'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
Do we need Microsoft 365 to use Power Apps? In most cases, yes. Power Apps works best as part of the Microsoft 365 or Power Platform ecosystem. If you're not sure what licensing you have, we can check for you during the free process review.
What happens after the app is built, do we need you for every change? No. We build with your team's independence in mind. Simple changes (like adding a form field) can usually be made by your own staff after a short training session. For bigger changes, we're here when you need us.
