Why Portsmouth
Process automation for Portsmouth defence and manufacturing suppliers
Defence and marine contracts audit the process, not just the part. Suppliers around Portsmouth handle controlled documents, change requests and quality sign-offs where a missing signature becomes a contract review finding. We build approval flows with the trail built in: every request routed by document class, every decision logged with who, when and which version, every evidence pack filed where the auditor will ask for it. Change control and drawing approvals run the same way, inside your own Microsoft tenant. Manufacturers on the south coast automate NCR routing and supplier paperwork; engineering firms automate site report filing and timesheet chasing. Our own certifications stand up in your supplier audit: Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 27001. The base at 1000 Lakeside North Harbour is ten minutes off the M27 with visitor parking; Fareham, Havant and Chichester are inside half an hour.

Power Automate Services
Power Automate is Microsoft's workflow automation platform for connecting the systems you already run and removing the manual steps between them. We map the process, then build flows your team can see into and change: approvals, invoicing, onboarding, document handling, alerts. It connects Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, SQL Server and more than 1,000 other systems through built-in connectors, and first builds often run on Microsoft 365 licences you already hold.

POWER Automate QUESTIONS

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

Can your flows meet defence and marine audit requirements?

Yes. Training runs at Lakeside North Harbour or your site, covering flow building, approvals and governance for your team.

Do you offer Power Automate training in Portsmouth?

Yes. Training runs at Lakeside North Harbour or your site, covering flow building, approvals and governance for your team.

Do you cover the coast east of Portsmouth?

Yes. The Portsmouth base covers Fareham, Havant, Waterlooville and Chichester. Southampton has its own Intouch Tech base; the two share consultants across the Solent.

Can this integrate with my current systems?

Yes. Power Automate connects Microsoft 365 apps like Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and Excel, plus Dynamics 365, SQL Server, Salesforce, Power BI and Power Apps, through Microsoft's connector ecosystem. Where no standard connector exists, we use APIs, custom connectors or desktop flows and RPA to bring older applications into the loop. (Microsoft Learn)

Do we need internal IT skills?

No. We handle discovery, workflow design, build, permissions, testing, launch and ongoing support. All we need from you are the people who own each process and know how approvals, exceptions and handoffs should really work.

What's the real return on investment?

The return comes from hours saved, fewer manual handoffs, faster approvals and fewer re-keying mistakes. We map your high-volume admin processes first and estimate the monthly time saved before we build anything, so every workflow has a clear business case behind it.

What do I need to use Power Automate?

You need a modern web browser, a Microsoft work or school account, and the right Microsoft 365 or Power Automate licence for the flows you want to run. Some standard connectors come with your existing Microsoft 365 licensing. Premium connectors, desktop flows and attended or unattended RPA need extra licensing, which we spell out for you up front.

Which email addresses are supported?

Power Automate cloud flows need a Microsoft work or school email address. Since 27 July 2025, Microsoft no longer supports personal accounts such as Gmail or Outlook.com for signing in. (Microsoft Learn)

What is Microsoft Power Automate used for?

Power Automate handles repeatable business processes: approval routing, notifications, data entry, invoice handling, staff onboarding, file management, CRM updates and reporting. Cloud flows connect your apps to each other, desktop flows bring RPA to older systems, and AI Builder reads documents and triggers actions from what they contain.
