Custom Applications & Portals

Secure portals for the workflows that live in email today.

Vendor platforms are rigid, while mission-critical workflows live in email. In 8-12 weeks we design and ship secure portals — React, Power Platform, or Azure PaaS — with auditable workflows.

Where we jump in

These are the sparks that usually bring us into the room.

  • Partner onboarding, case management, or approvals run over email threads.
  • The vendor platform cannot be changed without a six-figure invoice.
  • No audit trail for the workflows regulators actually ask about.
  • Staff swivel-chair between systems to finish one process.

Outcomes you can expect

Every engagement ships measurable impact, documentation, and enablement.

  • Product discovery, UX prototypes, and a backlog with compliance baked in.
  • Secure API + integration architecture, DevSecOps pipelines, and documentation.
  • Auditable workflows with roles, approvals, and full history.
  • Launch plan with user testing, training, and support playbooks.

Where it shines

High-value use cases

Insurance & financial services

Nonprofit & human services

Volunteers of America National

Affiliate Connect, the engagement-tracking app for the national affiliate network, had outgrown Power Apps limits and licensing. We built it as a TypeScript application on PostgreSQL, delivered as a web app and a Microsoft Teams-native app with Entra ID sign-in.

Per-user Power Apps licensing eliminated — lower ongoing cost, and the national office owns the code, data model, and roadmap.

FAQs

Questions we get a lot

Can you build a Microsoft Teams app for us?

Yes. When a workflow belongs where your staff already work, we deliver it as a Teams-native app alongside the web version — the same TypeScript codebase, PostgreSQL or Azure SQL data model, and Entra ID sign-in, surfaced as a tab or app inside Teams. Affiliate Connect for Volunteers of America National is built exactly this way.

Can you migrate our Power Apps to Azure?

Yes — re-platforming Power Apps that have hit platform limits, licensing walls, or integration constraints is a core use case. We rebuild the workload as a custom application on Azure with Entra ID sign-in, migrate the data model, and hand you a codebase your team owns. For Volunteers of America National we moved Affiliate Connect from Power Apps to a TypeScript and PostgreSQL app on Azure, eliminating the per-user Power Apps licensing that grew with every affiliate.

Custom code or Power Platform — how do you choose?

By workflow complexity and who maintains it after launch. Power Platform wins when your team will own iteration; React + Azure PaaS wins for partner-facing portals with heavier integration. Discovery settles it with evidence, not preference.

Who owns the code and the backlog?

You do. Repositories, pipelines, documentation, and the backlog live in your tenant from day one — nothing is locked in a black box.
