Why Cambridge
Custom apps for Cambridge scale-ups replacing spreadsheets
Every Cambridge scale-up hits the same moment: the ops spreadsheet becomes the ops bottleneck. Headcount plans, kit tracking, customer onboarding checklists, all in tabs, all fighting over one file. We rebuild the stack as Power Apps on Dataverse: one data layer, separate apps per job, permissions that match the org chart instead of a share link. Build order matters more than app count, so we start where the pain compounds fastest, usually onboarding or kit. Biotechs add lab request portals: scientists request runs or materials through a form that captures everything first time, and the lab manages one queue instead of forty emails. Wellington House on East Road is ten minutes from Cambridge station; Ely, Huntingdon and the science parks all sit inside half an hour, with remote build sprints between visits.

Power Apps Services
Power Apps is Microsoft's low-code platform for building business applications without a full software project. We design and build the apps your processes actually need: inspection apps on tablets, approval apps that replace email, trackers that retire the spreadsheet. Each one connects to data you already hold in Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, SQL Server or Dataverse, works on phones from day one, and stays yours to change after we hand it over.

Apps designed around the job, from tablet forms to full case systems.

POWER BI QUESTIONS

Answers to the questions UK businesses ask us most about Power BI.

What is Microsoft Power BI used for?

Power BI is Microsoft's analytics tool for turning raw data into reports and dashboards your team can actually read. You pull figures from spreadsheets, databases and online systems into one place, then spot trends and answer business questions without waiting on a manual report.

Is Power BI difficult to use?

Reading a Power BI dashboard takes no training at all. Building one takes a little, and most people create useful reports after a short session. We handle the harder data work behind the scenes, so your team only deals with the parts they need.

Can Power BI connect to my CRM, finance system or Excel?

Yes. Power BI pulls data from hundreds of sources, including Excel, SQL databases, cloud services and most CRM and finance platforms. We bring those feeds together so one dashboard shows the whole picture instead of figures scattered across systems.

How long does a Power BI project take?

It depends on the scope. A focused first dashboard can go live in a few weeks, while bigger rollouts run in phases. We agree the timeline up front so you know what to expect at each stage.

Is Power BI secure?

Yes. You control who sees what with role-based access, your data is encrypted, and Power BI ties into your existing Microsoft security and meets recognised compliance standards. If you would rather keep data on your own servers, Power BI Report Server gives you an on-premises option.

Do you provide ongoing support and improvements?

Yes. We provide ongoing support, train your users and keep refining your dashboards as the business changes, so your reports stay accurate and useful rather than going stale after launch.

Can Power BI connect to SharePoint, Salesforce, ServiceNow and Azure DevOps?

Yes. We build Power BI dashboards on SharePoint, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Azure DevOps, Dynamics 365, Google Analytics, Snowflake and SQL, and we can embed live dashboards straight into SharePoint and Microsoft Teams.

Can you export a Power BI dashboard to PowerPoint?

Yes. You can export any Power BI report to PowerPoint for board meetings, and embed the live version in SharePoint and Teams so everyone works from the same current numbers.

Do you offer Power BI consultancy in London and across the UK?

Yes. Intouch Tech is a UK Power BI consultancy and Microsoft Solutions Partner. We support organisations in London, Fleet and across the UK with consultancy, implementation and managed Power BI services.

Can Power BI replace Excel for reporting?

Yes. Power BI swaps manual Excel reports for live dashboards that update on their own, so everyone reads the same current figures instead of passing conflicting spreadsheets back and forth.
