Power Apps That Keep Pace with Miami's Business Operations
Power Apps replaces the manifests, customs paperwork, and compliance checklists slowing down Miami's trade, logistics, and healthcare teams with a custom app built on Microsoft 365. Sunflower Lab is a certified Microsoft Solutions Partner with 250+ Power Platform projects — delivered locally from our Miami office.
Power Apps development (Microsoft's low-code platform for turning a manual process into a working application without a dedicated engineering team) replaces spreadsheet or paper-based workflows with an app connected to the tools your team already uses: SharePoint, Dataverse, Teams. For Miami businesses in trade, logistics, and healthcare, that typically means customs documentation, shipment intake, or patient-intake checklists moving into a role-based app in 4-8 weeks, either a Canvas App (flexible, any data source) or a Model-Driven App (structured, Dataverse-backed).

Power up your business with our Power Apps Services to improve efficiency and productivity of daily processes.
Power Apps Discovery for Miami Teams
We start with a scoping session on your intake, shipment, or claims process: mapping exactly where a spreadsheet or paper form is costing your Miami team the most time, then recommending a Canvas App or Model-Driven App based on the data source. Most scoping runs 1-2 weeks and ends with a build plan.
Custom Canvas & Model-Driven App Development
We build apps connected to Dataverse, SharePoint, Azure SQL, or your existing systems, with role-based access so intake staff, case managers, and compliance reviewers each see only what applies to them. Full documentation ships at handoff so your team can maintain it in-house.
AI Builder for Document Automation
AI Builder (Microsoft's built-in AI component for the Power Platform) reads intake forms, claims paperwork, or compliance documents automatically, flags exceptions, and surfaces predictions from historical data inside the same app your team opens every shift.
Compliance-Ready Builds for Regulated Industries
Healthcare and financial-services operations carry audit and compliance requirements a generic app doesn't handle. Every build gets role-based access, activity logging, and Dataverse audit trails so it holds up under an internal or regulatory review.

United Utility Streamlines Field Operations with Power Apps
United Utility ran electrical-construction field operations across seven divisions on spreadsheets and paper, with union payroll calculated by hand and no real-time visibility for leadership. Sunflower Lab built 20+ custom Power Apps for field crews, an automated payroll engine for union pay rules, and a Power BI dashboard for real-time reporting. Result: 40+ hours of manual work eliminated weekly, payroll errors eliminated, $250K+ saved annually, and $50M+ in field operations managed with no new hires.

Saved 1200 Hours in Employee Shift Data Entry with Power Apps
MAI tracked shift and production data in separate Excel files across multiple plants, with reporting consuming 100+ hours a month and file-lock crashes routinely blocking team access. We built a central Power Apps data-entry tool for every plant, with role-based access splitting worker data entry from admin parameter settings, connected directly to Azure Data Lake and Power BI for automated reporting. Result: 1,200 hours saved yearly, reporting time cut 40-60%, and data silos eliminated across every plant.

Streamlining Developers and Investors Collaboration with DocuSign
CoVEST Capital (200 S Biscayne Blvd, Suite 2790, Miami, FL 33131) needed a centralized platform to simplify collaboration between real estate sponsors and investors. Sunflower Lab built a custom investment platform with dedicated Sponsor and Investor portals, enabling project management, investment requests, financial data access, and digital agreements. Integrations with DocuSign, Google Sheets, Twilio, and Firebase helped streamline communication, automate key processes, and reduce reliance on disconnected tools such as email and spreadsheets.

Industry-Specific Power Apps Use Case
Miami's trade, logistics, and healthcare operations are exactly the profile Power Apps fits best: teams running customs paperwork, shipment intake, or patient documentation on spreadsheets and paper because the workflow is too specific for an off-the-shelf tool.
Optimizing Retail Operations
Enhance retail operations and customer satisfaction with custom Power Apps designed for store management and field teams:
- Real-time inventory management tracking stock levels
- Customer feedback aggregation for instant management reviews
- Unified store performance dashboards for regional managers
Finance & Expense Reporting
Miami's role as a financial gateway for Latin America and the Caribbean means compliance paperwork — KYC documentation, wire-transfer approvals, audit checklists — is a recurring bottleneck for banks and back offices. A Canvas App standardizes that intake, applies role-based approval routing, and hands compliance teams a Dataverse-backed audit trail.
- Automated expense reporting system for employee receipt uploads
- Financial data visualization for leadership oversight
- Real-time budget management tools linked to Excel & ERP
Healthcare Coordination
Miami health systems manage patient intake, prior-authorization requests, and case documentation under HIPAA. A Model-Driven Power App on Dataverse gives that workflow role-based access and a built-in audit trail, replacing a paper or Excel-based intake process without adding a new system for IT to secure separately.
- Patient health records portals for clinical staff access
- Medication reminder system for outpatient tracking
- Telemedicine applications linking patients to providers
Trade & Logistics Operations
PortMiami and Miami International Airport make South Florida one of the busiest freight and re-export gateways in the country, and most of the paperwork behind that trade — customs documentation, bills of lading, freight manifests — still lives in email threads and spreadsheets. A Canvas App standardizes shipment and customs intake, applies role-based routing to brokers and compliance staff, and gives logistics teams a Dataverse-backed audit trail for every shipment.
- Digital customs and bill-of-lading intake for freight forwarders
- Shipment status dashboards for warehouse and dispatch teams
- Automated compliance checklists for re-export and trade documentation
Education & Student Portals
Enhance student engagement and administrative efficiency with custom Power Apps for enrollment and tracking:
- Seamless course enrollment platforms for active students
- Interactive alumni network apps for fundraising and engagement
- Comprehensive student progress tracking dashboards
