What we do

Three practices, from quick automation to full rollout

Most engagements start where the pain is — a workbook that takes three days to close — and grow into the system that replaces it, only when the numbers justify it.

01

Excel Macro & VBA Automation

We turn manual, error-prone workbook processes — month-end consolidations, reconciliations, reporting packs — into one-click, auditable macros.

02

Power Apps on Dataverse

Custom line-of-business apps for approvals, field data capture, inventory and asset tracking, built on Microsoft Dataverse with proper security roles.

Power AppsDataverseModel-driven
03

SharePoint & Power Automate

Document libraries, approval workflows and list-based apps in SharePoint, wired together with Power Automate flows across Excel, Outlook and Teams.

ERP Solution Selection

ERP Implementation

Configuration, chart-of-accounts design and data migration off legacy Excel, Pastel or Sage systems, through to go-live and hypercare support.

Training & Change Management

Role-based training curricula, super-user programmes and adoption tracking so a new system is actually used three months after we leave.

How we work

Assess, build, train, adopt

The same four stages whether it's a two-week macro or an eight-month ERP go-live.

Stage 1

Assess

We sit with the people doing the work today and map exactly where the manual process breaks down.

Stage 2

Build

Macro, app or ERP configuration built and tested against real data, not a demo dataset.

Stage 3

Train

Role-based training and super-user certification before go-live, not a single handover session after.

Stage 4

Adopt

We track usage post go-live and stay on hypercare until the old process is genuinely retired.

"The month-end reconciliation that used to take our finance team four days now runs as a macro in twenty minutes — and our new Dataverse app means the branches stop emailing us Excel files entirely."
