Power Apps for Logistics & Transport
Replace paper forms and spreadsheets with custom mobile and desktop apps built on Microsoft Power Apps — no coding required from your team.
Why logistics & transport businesses choose this
Power Apps built for logistics & transport
Logistics and transport operators waste dispatcher hours building run sheets manually, chasing drivers for proof of delivery, and tracking licence expiries in spreadsheets. When customers call asking where their delivery is, no one has a live answer. Automating dispatch, compliance alerts, and delivery tracking on Microsoft 365 gives ops teams control without adding staff.
Cut daily dispatch planning time by 50% with automated run sheet generation
Eliminate missed licence and registration renewals with proactive alerts
Reduce customer delivery enquiry calls with automated POD notifications
How it works
What we actually build and deliver
We start with your current paper form, spreadsheet, or manual process and design a mobile and desktop app that replaces it. Data is stored in Dataverse or SharePoint — whichever fits your environment. The app includes role-based access, validation rules, and offline support for field workers. We build, test, and deploy the app to your team with written guides and a walkthrough session.
The problem
What is slowing logistics & transport businesses down
Manual dispatch and run sheet creation
Building daily run sheets, assigning drivers, and communicating orders is a manual process that consumes dispatcher time every morning.
No real-time visibility on fleet or delivery status
Customers call to ask where their delivery is. Ops managers have no live view without calling drivers directly.
Compliance and licence tracking done in spreadsheets
Driver licence expiries, vehicle registration, and fatigue management records get missed when managed in disconnected spreadsheets.

FAQ
Common questions
Can the app work offline in the field?
Yes. Power Apps supports offline mode with automatic data sync when connectivity returns. We configure this for field-based workflows.
Can different users see different data?
Yes. We implement role-based access so managers, field staff, and admins each see the right records and actions for their role.
Do staff need to install anything?
Staff install the free Power Apps mobile app on their phone or tablet. Desktop users access the app through a browser — no installation needed.
Can this integrate with our TMS or freight system?
Power Automate connects to most TMS platforms via API, email, or CSV export triggers.
Can drivers use the apps on their phones?
Yes. Power Apps is mobile-first and handles offline use. Ideal for drivers without reliable connectivity.
How quickly can something be deployed?
Simple automations like POD capture or compliance alerts can be live within 1–2 weeks.
