Using Microsoft Power Apps to Automate Data Entry

Written by Nexlogica Team

December 6, 2022


Data entry is a necessary, albeit time-consuming and frustrating aspect of both large and small businesses alike.

With data entry automation and business process automation (BPA), you can streamline repetitive, manual tasks allowing your employees to greatly reduce the time spent on these activities, save money, reduce human error, and improve the reliability of data.

By creating automated processes, you can simplify a number of your daily business processes and data entry tasks and eliminate the manual data entry tasks that complicate and slow down your team. This results in a number of significant advantages for your business including: 

  • Reduced spending on labor
  • Reduced typos, data loss, and other administration errors
  • Enhanced approval processes
  • Greater accuracy in auditing
  • Improved visibility and decision making

Automate Your Data Entry Processes with Microsoft Power Apps
With Microsoft Power Apps, you can quickly build and share applications that streamline your workflows and automate repetitive functions with little to no code.
With Power Automate, specifically, you can automate your workflows, enable business logic to simplify app building, and model your processes across connected data sources and services. Let’s explore these benefits more closely.

Design Business Logic
Use Power Automate to design logic for your Power Apps. Instead of having to hire a developer to write endless amounts of code, you can use Power Automate’s simple point-and-click flow designer to build out your business logic. These flows can fire-and-forget, or return data back to your app to display information to the user eliminating the need for manual data processing.

Ensure Data Consistency
Ensure consistency and keep users on track regardless of what stage of the business process the data is entered.

Connect All Your Data
Additionally, you can connect all of your data and create automated workflows that empower your team to collaborate productively. This includes deep integration with SharePoint, OneDrive for Business, and Dynamics 365 provides automation right in-context of the applications you use every day.

Extend Your Functionality
Using an excel-like expression language, you can connect more systems and have greater control via native extensibility for professional developers.
Combining Power Automate with Power Apps can help you to boost productivity by building these time-saving workflows into every aspect of the data entry process and seamlessly integrating with all your data sources, like SharePoint.
Furthermore, with robotic process automation (RPA) and optical character recognition (OCR), you can build secure workflows, with little to no code, and automate all of your mundane, repetitive data entry tasks.
This frees your team members up to focus on tasks that directly contribute value to your business and your customers.
