Power Automate Consulting
Microsoft Power Automate Consulting for Real Business Workflows
Design, build and productionise Power Automate workflows across Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Dynamics and the rest of your application stack.
You already know the technology. This page is about what we build with it.
- Fixed scope
- Measurable ROI
- Human-in-the-loop
- Works with your existing stack
Trusted on complex technology delivery
Does any of this look familiar?
These are the symptoms we see before the numbers get measured.
- Flows built by the business work until something upstream changes
- Nobody owns the flows that a department now depends on
- Failures are discovered when someone notices the work did not happen
- Connections run on a personal account that will eventually be deactivated
- There is no environment strategy, versioning or documentation
What this process costs you today
Before anyone talks about technology, it is worth knowing the number you are trying to beat.
A worked example

Assumptions
- Fully loaded hourly cost of the staff running or fixing these flows today
- Rework estimated at 1.5x the original handling time per failed run
- Automatable share of 60–80% where the platform is already licensed and in use
- Payback modelled against a typical single-process implementation investment

How we work
- 1
Map
Sit with the people doing the work and document the process as it actually runs — including the workarounds nobody wrote down.
- 2
Measure
Establish a baseline: volume, handling time, error and rework rate, and what the process costs you today.
- 3
Build
Redesign the workflow and build it against your real systems and data — not a mockup or a slide.
- 4
Validate
Test against edge cases, confirm exception handling and approval gates, and measure the result against the baseline.
- 5
Deploy
Move into production with monitoring, runbooks and training — or recommend against it if the numbers do not hold up.
Before and after
What we typically build
Today
- SharePoint approvals tracked in a list nobody trusts
- Invoices forwarded to a shared mailbox
- Dynamics records updated by hand after the fact
- Form submissions triaged manually
Automated
- SharePoint approval flows with escalation and audit
- Invoice intake, extraction and routing to the right approver
- Dynamics updated directly as part of the workflow
- Forms intake triaged and routed on arrival
Already built a flow that has become unreliable?
Power Automate Workflow Rescue
Citizen-built flows are how most organisations start, and they work right up until a system changes or the person who built them moves on. We audit what you have, fix what is failing, and put the important flows on a proper footing.
- Audit existing flows and map what depends on them
- Fix reliability: error handling, retries, idempotency
- Move connections off personal accounts onto service principals
- Add monitoring, alerting and escalation paths
- Productionise the flows the business now depends on
- Governance model so the next wave is built safely
What we automate
- SharePoint approvals
- Invoice workflows
- Dynamics 365 record updates
- Teams notifications and adaptive cards
- Microsoft Forms intake
- Document processing
- Employee onboarding
- Excel-driven automation
- Outlook and shared-mailbox processing
What you receive
- Solution design with environment and ALM strategy
- Production-grade flows with error handling and retries
- Service-account connections, not personal ones
- Monitoring, alerting and failure escalation
- Documentation and handover to your team
- Governance guidance for citizen-built flows

Scope agreed before we start
Technology we build on
We are not tied to one platform. The right tool depends on the workflow, your existing stack, and what you can maintain.
How we keep it safe
Human approval gates
You decide which decisions an automation may make alone and which require a person. Thresholds are configured to your policy.
Exception handling
Anything ambiguous, incomplete or out of policy routes to a named owner with the reason attached — it does not fail silently.
Audit trail
Every action is logged: what ran, on what input, what it decided, and who approved it. Built for audit and incident review.
Least-privilege access
Automations connect through credentialed, scoped integrations you grant and can revoke. Your systems stay the system of record.
How engagements run
Each stage is a decision point. You only continue if the previous stage justified it.
Process Assessment
Map one process, quantify what it costs today, and get a fixed implementation recommendation.

Scope a Power Automate workflow
Whether it is a new build or a rescue of flows that have become business-critical, start by having the workflow mapped and costed.
