POWER APPS

Power Apps is a low-code/no-code platform from Microsoft that enables businesses to build custom applications quickly and efficiently. It allows users to create apps that digitize workflows, automate processes, and enhance business productivity without requiring extensive coding knowledge.

Power Apps is part of the Microsoft Power Platform, integrating seamlessly with Dataverse, Power Automate, Power BI, and Microsoft 365, making it a powerful tool for organizations to develop scalable business solutions.

Types of Power Apps

Model-Driven Apps

  • Data-first applications built on Microsoft Dataverse.

  • Provides a structured interface with predefined forms, views, and dashboards.

  • Best suited for enterprise-grade business applications such as CRM, case management, and sales tracking.

Canvas Apps

  • Highly customizable applications built from a blank canvas.

  • Allows users to drag and drop UI elements and connect to various data sources (Dataverse, SharePoint, SQL, APIs).

  • Ideal for mobile-friendly, task-based applications like inventory management or field service apps.

Portal Apps

  • Enables organizations to create external-facing websites that allow customers or partners to interact with business data securely.

  • Used for customer self-service portals, knowledge bases, and vendor management systems.

I have strong skills in Model-Driven Apps, but my experience with Canvas Apps and Portal Apps is limited.

Sales Performance Management Application

In my Power Apps portfolio, I showcase my expertise in Model-Driven Apps, using a Sales Performance Management Application I built using Microsoft Power Apps and Dataverse. This application is designed to help businesses track and optimize their sales processes, customer relationships, and vendor renewals, providing a structured and data-driven approach to sales performance management.

Application Overview

This Model-Driven App integrates multiple business-critical entities, including:

  • Quotes – Manage sales quotes, pricing, and approval workflows.

  • Accounts & Contacts – Maintain a centralized database of customers and stakeholders.

  • Vendors & Renewals – Track vendor contracts, renewal dates, and automate reminders.

  • Opportunities – Manage sales pipeline, forecast revenue, and track deal progress.

  • KPIs & Performance Metrics – Monitor key sales performance indicators to drive business growth.

Key Features & Functionality

  • Automated Workflows & Business Rules

    • Uses Power Automate workflows to trigger notifications, approvals, and data updates.

    • Implements business rules to enforce data validation and streamline sales processes.

  • Data-Driven Sales Management

    • Provides real-time visibility into sales performance, opportunity pipeline, and revenue forecasts.

    • Enables sales teams to track interactions with customers and vendors efficiently.

    • Leverages Power BI dashboards for sales insights and KPI tracking.

    • Utilizes standard Model-Driven App UI components for consistency and ease of use.

Business Impact

This Sales Performance Management Application enhances sales team productivity, improves decision-making through data insights, and ensures seamless business operations by integrating core sales and vendor management functions. By leveraging Microsoft Dataverse, business rules, and automated workflows, it optimizes how organizations track opportunities, manage customer relationships, and handle vendor contracts efficiently.

This project highlights my Model-Driven App development skills, demonstrating how structured data models and process automation can drive business success.
