QBuild

Field workers stopped losing Friday afternoons to timesheets

A Power Apps timesheet system that helped hundreds of tradies capture time on site each day instead of driving back to the office for weekly admin.

Timesheet cadence from weekly

The Challenge

QBuild manages infrastructure maintenance across Queensland, from schools to public housing to government buildings. Its workforce includes hundreds of tradies spread across the state. Every Friday, each tradie drove back to the office and spent 2-3 hours manually filling in weekly timesheets. Multiplied across the workforce, that was thousands of hours every week spent on admin instead of productive field work.

What We Built

  • Canvas-based Power Apps timesheet app for on-site daily entry
  • Dataverse + SharePoint integration with QBuild's payroll and job-costing systems
  • Power Automate approval workflows tied to supervisors
  • Azure AD role-based security model
  • Audit-ready reporting and job-costing data layer

The Outcome

  • Multi-million dollar annual productivity gain from recovered tradie hours
  • Faster pay cycles and cleaner job-costing accuracy with daily capture
  • No Friday office runs - tradies stay on site, doing productive work
  • Complete audit trail across every timesheet submission

Ingham's

Operational data moved from weekly capture to daily visibility

A Power Platform portal and mobile apps that moved operational data capture from once a week to every day, improving visibility and data quality across the operation.

Real-time operational visibility

The Challenge

Ingham's, one of Australia's largest poultry producers, was capturing operational data across its sites on a weekly cadence using manual processes. By the time insights reached decision-makers, the underlying conditions had often changed. Manual entry compounded the issue with gaps, inconsistencies, and late reconciliation.

What We Built

  • Operational portal for daily data capture on Power Pages and Power Apps
  • Multiple Canvas apps for different operational workflows
  • Dataverse data model optimised for time-series reporting
  • Mobile-first design for in-field use by operational staff
  • Scaled to 2,100+ monthly active users across the operation

The Outcome

  • 7x increase in data collection frequency - weekly became daily
  • Significant lift in data quality: fewer gaps, faster reconciliation
  • Real-time operational visibility for on-site and head-office teams
  • 2,100+ monthly active users - adoption at scale

Regional Prosperity

A bespoke advisory CRM went live fast and kept improving

A custom Power Platform CRM for an Australian advisory firm, delivered at pace, built around compliance, and now supported through an ongoing Bunya partnership.

Weeks

Production CRM live, not months

100%

Built on Power Platform + Dataverse

Ongoing

Active Bunya partnership

The Challenge

Regional Prosperity is a financial advisory firm serving Australians with long-term wealth planning. As the business grew, the team needed a bespoke CRM to manage client relationships, automate compliance workflows, and unlock operational leverage. Off-the-shelf CRMs did not fit their specific processes, and a traditional custom build would have taken months they did not have.

What We Built

  • Custom Power Platform CRM on Dataverse
  • Automated client review scheduling and follow-up workflows
  • Compliance document generation and tracking
  • Reporting dashboards for business insights
  • Ongoing Bunya partnership for enhancements and support

The Outcome

  • Production CRM live and in use by the advisory team
  • Advisers spend more time with clients, less on admin
  • Tight compliance tracking reduces regulatory risk
  • Regional Prosperity now actively refers new clients to Bunya
Bunya delivers really fast, and always at the highest quality.
