Microsoft Power Platform experts - building smarter systems, the String way

At String, we’re Microsoft Power Platform experts helping organisations design, build and evolve smarter systems using Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate and Copilot Studio.
We don’t just build apps, we remove friction and we replace tangled processes with clarity, automate the manual, and give people time back to focus on what matters.

Because behind every messy spreadsheet is a team craving insight.
Behind every manual process is an opportunity to automate.
And behind every “there has to be an easier way” moment… there usually is.
That’s where Power Platform comes in - and where String makes the difference.

What is Microsoft Power Platform?

Microsoft Power Platform is a low-code suite that enables businesses to build apps, automate processes, analyse data and create AI-powered experiences – without heavy development overhead.

At String, we use Power Platform to solve real operational problems:

Replacing spreadsheets with intuitive apps
Automating approvals and repetitive admin
Turning disconnected data into clear, real‑time insight
Modernising legacy processes without disruption

It’s not about technology for technology’s sake.
It’s about building systems that give your people their time, energy and focus back.

What Makes Up Power Platform?

Dashboards & reporting

Power BI logo

Power BI

transforms raw data into clear, interactive dashboards that help you understand what’s really happening in your business.

We connect Power BI to systems like Microsoft Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Excel to surface the insights that matter most – so decision‑makers can act fast, with confidence.

Build custom business apps

Power Apps

allows us to design custom business applications without traditional development overhead.

We use Power Apps to:

Replace manual, spreadsheet‑driven processes
Create intuitive internal tools for teams
Modernise legacy systems without starting from scratch

Workflow automation

Power Automate

removes repetitive, manual tasks from your day‑to‑day operations.

From approvals and notifications to data synchronisation and integrations, we design automated workflows that improve efficiency, reduce risk and keep things moving – without people having to chase or remember what comes next.

Secure external portals

Power Pages

enables organisations to securely extend Power Platform solutions to customers, partners or suppliers.

Used alongside Power Apps for internal users, Power Pages allows us to build end‑to‑end solutions – from internal processes through to external, user‑friendly portals – all backed by Microsoft‑grade security.

A single source of truth

Dataverse

is the data foundation that brings your Power Platform solutions together.

It stores, secures and structures your business data so your apps, automations and reports all work from the same reliable source – reducing duplication, improving accuracy and keeping everything aligned.

AI built for business

Copilot Studio

allows organisations to create AI‑powered conversational agents that support customers and employees alike.

We help you design and deploy AI agents that:

Answer common questions
Support service delivery
Improve internal productivity
Integrate directly with your data and systems

Our Development Process

01

Art of the Possible - understanding what really matters

We start by getting under the hood of your business. What’s slowing things down? Where’s the friction? What would make the biggest difference? Together, we explore what Power Platform could do - always grounded in real outcomes, not wish‑lists.

02

The Blueprint – designing the right solution

Once we’ve got the dream, we turn it into a roadmap. This is the planning stage, where we map out everything from the app’s key features to its design and user flow. We’ll define success metrics, integrations, and how the app will work within your existing systems. Our goal? To make sure that when you go live, it’s smooth sailing.

03

Build and Test – bringing it to life

We build your solution with care, focusing on performance, security and usability. Everything is tested, refined and reviewed with you - because the best results come from building with you, not just for you.

04

The Launch – ready for the real world

When it’s time to go live, we handle deployment and ensure everything runs smoothly. Your solution is production‑ready, supported and built to perform from day one.

05

Ongoing Support – a long-term partner

We don’t disappear after launch. From optimisation and enhancements to ongoing support and advice, we’re here to ensure your Power Platform solution continues to deliver value as your business evolves.

The benefits of Microsoft Power Platform

By automating repetitive processes, we help teams focus on higher‑value work - while reducing errors and bottlenecks along the way.

Data at your fingertips - make better decisions, faster
