Microsoft Power Platform Consultancy for UK Organisations
Hammerhead Tech is a UK Microsoft Partner that designs, builds and supports business applications on Microsoft Power Platform. We help organisations replace spreadsheets, paper forms and ageing Access databases with secure apps, automated workflows and reporting that sit inside the Microsoft 365 tools their staff already use.
Our team works across Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Pages and Dataverse, and we also build bespoke software. That means we’ll tell you honestly when low-code is the right answer, and when a custom build will serve you better.
We work with councils, care providers, property firms and growing businesses across the UK. Our team is remote, so workshops, demos and training run online, with progress you can see every week or two.
Low-Code Solutions Built Properly, Not Just Quickly
Power Platform makes it fast to build an app. It also makes it easy to end up with dozens of unsupported apps, flows nobody owns and data scattered across SharePoint lists. We treat low-code as real software: requirements, data model, security, testing and documentation come first.
Most projects start with a short discovery phase. We map how the work happens today, who needs which data, what has to integrate and which licences you already hold. You get a clear recommendation, a phased plan and an honest estimate before any build starts.
Everything we deliver is packaged in solutions, deployed through separate test and production environments, and handed over with documentation your team can follow. We can stay on for support and improvements, or train your people to run it in-house.
Power Platform Services We Provide
Most organisations use more than one part of the platform. A case management app in Power Apps usually needs approvals in Power Automate and reporting in Power BI. We design them together, so data, security and licensing line up from the start.
Power Apps Development
Canvas and model-driven apps for case management, inspections, bookings, HR processes and asset tracking, built on Dataverse and working on desktop, tablet and phone. See our Power Apps development services.
Power Automate Workflows
Approvals, notifications, document generation and integrations between Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and other systems, plus desktop flows where an older system has no API. See our Power Automate consultancy.
Power BI Reporting
Dashboards built on clean, well-modelled data, with row-level security so each team sees only what it should. We connect Dataverse, SQL, Excel and finance systems into one view. See our Power BI consultancy.
Portals, Dynamics 365 and AI Agents
When customers, partners or residents need to submit forms, upload documents or check the progress of a case, Power Pages gives them a secure website that reads and writes the same Dataverse data your staff use internally. There’s no second database to keep in sync.
Dataverse sits underneath most of our builds. We design tables, relationships, business rules and security roles properly, so the platform grows from one app to many and stands up to an information governance review. Where data must stay in the UK, we create environments in Microsoft’s UK region.
For customer and case management, we’re also a Dynamics 365 partner and build CRM and case management systems on the same foundations. We also build AI agents with Copilot Studio, grounded in your own content and starting with a narrow, measurable use case.
Why Organisations Choose Hammerhead Tech for Power Platform
We’re a small, senior team. The people who scope your project are the people who build it, so nothing gets lost in a handover between sales and delivery.
Because we build bespoke software as well as low-code solutions, we have no reason to force everything into Power Platform. Some requirements are better met with a custom web app or an off-the-shelf product, and we’ll say so.
Microsoft Partner
We follow Microsoft’s guidance on security, environments and application lifecycle management, and keep up with platform and licensing changes so you don’t have to.
Public Sector and Care Experience
We’ve delivered case management and reporting tools for local authority, children’s services and fostering organisations, where data protection, audit trails and role-based access aren’t optional.
Governance from Day One
Environment strategy, data loss prevention policies, naming standards and ownership are agreed at the start, so your platform stays manageable as more apps and makers join.
Licensing Advice That Saves Money
Premium connectors, per-app and per-user plans and Power Pages capacity can change the cost of a project significantly. We design around the licences you already hold and explain the trade-offs.
Support After Go-Live
Microsoft updates the platform throughout the year. We offer ongoing support, monitoring and improvements, so your apps keep working and keep getting better.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Power Platform?
Power Platform is Microsoft’s low-code platform. It includes Power Apps for business applications, Power Automate for workflows, Power BI for reporting, Power Pages for external websites and Copilot Studio for AI agents. They share a common data layer, Dataverse, and connect to Microsoft 365.
Is Power Platform right for my organisation?
It’s a strong fit if you already use Microsoft 365, your processes run on spreadsheets, email or paper forms, and you need something secure without the cost of a fully custom build. It’s less suited to high-volume public apps or very specialised software, where we’d usually recommend a bespoke build.
How much does a Power Platform project cost?
It depends on the number of users, the data model, integrations and licensing. A focused app or workflow can be delivered in a few weeks, while a multi-team case management system takes longer. After a short discovery phase, we give you a defined scope and estimate before the build starts.
Do we need extra Microsoft licences?
Many organisations can start with the Power Apps and Power Automate rights included in Microsoft 365, which cover standard connectors such as SharePoint and Outlook. Dataverse, premium connectors and Power Pages need additional licences. We’ll review what you have and recommend the most cost-effective option.
Can you take over apps built by someone else?
Yes. We often review existing apps and flows, document what’s there, fix performance and security issues, and move them into a supported structure with proper environments and solutions.
Where is our data stored?
Power Platform environments can be created in Microsoft’s UK region, so Dataverse data is held in UK data centres. We also advise on data protection, retention and access controls as part of the design.
Do you work with organisations across the UK?
Yes. We work with organisations throughout the UK. Our team is remote, so discovery workshops, demos and training are run online, with on-site visits arranged when a project needs them.
