Custom Solutions to Streamline Your Business
Build custom applications and solutions with the consulting experts at AdaptivEdge! We leverage Microsoft technology to provide customized solutions that streamline business processes and improve productivity. We’ve been delivering these solutions since AdaptivEdge’s inception, and much of our team has experience dating back even further.
A decade ago, our primary tools comprised SharePoint on-premises with third-party products for forms and workflow (e.g., Nintex). Today, we leverage Power Automate, Power Apps, Power BI, SharePoint, and Teams to build custom no-code/low-code applications that help our clients automate business processes, saving thousands of hours and millions of dollars, reducing human error, and improving efficiency.
Let’s discuss what we can build to give you a competitive advantage in your industry and market segment!
The Value of Business Process Automation
Almost every organization still uses manual and archaic business processes. Many of these processes are organic, poorly documented, and based on tradition and precedent developed by business stakeholders and influencers over many years. When asked why a specific business process is followed, people frequently say, “Well, that’s just how we’ve done it here for as long as I can remember.”
These legacy processes often involve:
- Filling out PDF, Word, or Excel-based forms and sending them manually via email
- Manual review and approval steps in unstructured emails and chats
- Delays and missed deadlines due to manual reminders and changing personnel
- Lack of ability to track process or report status
- No integration into other business applications, requiring more manual data entry
This is where inefficiency and human error create delays. With process automation leveraging Microsoft’s tech stack, we can help you automate these processes and unlock:
- Intelligent forms via Power Apps and/or SharePoint with embedded business logic to dramatically decrease form completion time and increase accuracy
- Form routing for review, revision, and approval with Power Automate
- Task creation and reminders
- Document signing (with metadata) with integrated platforms like DocuSign and Adobe Sign
- Robust reporting and KPI dashboards with Power BI
Business Applications & Use Cases for Automation
We’ve created over 50 custom no-code/low-code business applications for clients. Some of the most common solutions include:
Employee Onboarding & Offboarding
Comprehensive process/document management to support the recruiting, hiring, and onboarding process, plus a supervisor-facing site with interactive, access-controlled collaboration on personnel records. This can also include integration with Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS).
Contract Management
Manage contract expirations, renewals, e-signatures, ancillary documents, and all related metadata.
Building Maintenance & Service Management
Define and manage all recurring maintenance tasks for maintaining and servicing client buildings via a mobile app for on-site workers and an administrative app for office supervisors.
Employee Anniversary and Recognition
Track employee anniversaries for publication and celebration on the company’s intranet. Capture team member shout-outs and recognitions while providing transparency and tracking to their respective managers and HR.
Time and Expense Reporting
Tracking project hours and expenses with approval processes. This can also include detailed reporting, auditing, and forecasting.
Corporate Retreat Planning
Centrally plan, manage and automate tasks and communications regarding employee surveys, flight and meal selections, and team-building activities for planning annual corporate retreats.
Inventory and Renewals Tracking
Track, report on, automate, and manage all things related to inventory and upcoming renewals.
Marketing Collateral Requests
Submit marketing collateral requests and formally track the request through various design, review, and approval stages. Manage collateral for reuse and provide robust reporting for tracking requests across users, collateral type, and distribution partners.
Your Process Automation Services Roadmap
Document Existing Process
Our first goal in any automation or business application project is to work with you to document your current processes. This quickly reveals inefficiencies and uncovers opportunities for improvement.
Plot Ideal Process
Then, we work with key stakeholders to envision your ideal state down to the minute details (e.g., “What happens if a reviewer rejects a submission or requires revisions?” and “What happens if someone who typically approves a request is out of office?”).
Execute Plan & Launch Business Application
Next, we design and build the environment, including lists, libraries, forms, workflows, integrations, and reports. Based on your feedback and support, we’ll conduct extensive testing and validation of the solution. After fixing any discovered errors and incorporating feedback, we’ll provide end-user training, launch the solution into production, and provide ongoing support and training to your technical team.
