Defect reporting across 33 ships
A defect management app for CalMac built with Power Apps, Power Automate, SharePoint lists and Power BI, used by 1,700 employees across 33 ships, with instant notifications and an auditable trail for every defect.
Procurement management
Procurement tracked in one secure Power Platform app.
We build procurement management apps on Power Platform that replace older systems and manual processes with standard forms, tracked actions and clear reporting. Teams can see status, risks and outstanding issues across departments in one place.

The problem
Why procurement gets hard to track.
- 1
Legacy systems and manual steps
Older systems and spreadsheets make it hard to see where each item has got to.
- 2
Risks and issues go unrecorded
Without a standard place to log them, problems surface late.
- 3
Little visibility across departments
Managers cannot see status and outstanding actions across teams in one place.
What it does
Record, track and report in one app.
We build the procurement app on Power Platform around your internal protocols.
Record
Standard forms tailored to your organisation.
Every request is captured the same way, following your internal protocols, on desktop or mobile.
- Forms built around your protocols
- Desktop and mobile access
- One app instead of several systems
Track
Log risks, issues and follow up actions.
Items can be filtered by location, category or status, which makes it easier to manage workloads and prioritise actions.
- Risks and issues logged against each item
- Filters by location, category or status
- Follow up actions assigned
Report
Trends and planning in Power BI.
Power BI dashboards show status, risks and outstanding issues across departments to support reporting and planning.
- Status across departments
- Trends for planning ahead
- Reporting from one source
