Power Platform HR portal
A 500-person Norwegian company replaced email-based HR request handling with a self-service portal on Power Apps. Managers and employees now submit, track, and approve requests in a single interface backed by automated multi-step approval flows in Power Automate.

Manual leave request handling averaged 3–4 email chains and 3 business days per request. HR had no real-time visibility into team leave coverage, making workforce planning reactive. Monthly payroll export was a fully manual 4-hour process. Two HR staff were spending 30% of their time on request administration.

We built a self-service HR portal on Power Apps connected to SharePoint lists for persistent storage and Dataverse for the data model. Power Automate drives multi-step approval flows: line manager → HR → payroll notification, with automatic escalation after 48 hours of inaction. The portal surfaces live team calendars, individual leave balances, and a one-click payroll export to the existing payroll system. A Power BI dashboard gives HR real-time coverage visibility across departments.

Average approval time fell from 3 days to under 4 hours. HR administrative overhead dropped 60%, freeing the team for strategic HR work. The monthly payroll export is fully automated — 4 hours of manual work eliminated. Zero payroll errors since go-live.
