End-to-End Business Management System – Model-Driven Power App for an Industrial Services Company
Led the development of a scalable Model-Driven Power App tailored for an industrial services company to centralise business operations across departments. The solution managed leads, quotes, projects, invoices, timesheets, expenses, and tasks powered by 23+ Power Automate flows, custom JavaScript logic, and a secure Dataverse structure.
