We help organisations improve data capture by efficiently processing applications, registrations and other forms via dedicated portals that integrate with Dynamics 365.

Are Forms Failing Your Business?

Many organisations rely on forms to drive critical processes, from applications and questionnaires to assessments and compliance checks. But manually processing paper forms, Word documents, and PDFs takes time and risks data-entry errors.

Additionally, basic web forms offer limited capabilities to handle complex scenarios, resulting in high abandonment rates, incomplete data, and inefficient workflows that frustrate teams and the people completing your forms.

A Smarter Way to Capture Data

Our form portals are designed to solve these challenges. Working within your Microsoft environment, they provide a configurable and scalable solution for most data collection needs.

Unlike third-party forms, our solution connects natively with Dynamics 365 and Power Apps. This means data from every submitted form flows directly into your CRM, eliminating manual entry and triggering automated actions.

From complex applications to detailed clinical assessments, you can create branded, multi-step forms that include conditional logic to consistently collect complete, accurate data.

Design your forms directly inside Dynamics 365

Modernised Form Processing

Quickly enhance your data collection by replacing inefficient forms with an integrated solution.

Ensure Data Quality

Minimise data entry by capturing information correctly at source. Our form portals provide a single, structured point of input. Enforce data integrity with mandatory questions and validation rules that ensure you receive complete, accurate, and standardised information.

Personalised Forms

Replace static, one-size-fits-all forms. You can create personalised and intuitive journeys using conditional logic that adapts to answers and presents relevant questions. This personalises each process, building user confidence while minimising form abandonment.

Automates Critical Business Processes

Trigger instant follow-up actions based on form responses. With built-in integration with Dynamics 365, you can automatically create or update records and route submissions to the correct department to remove processing bottlenecks for applications, registrations and other forms.

Convert Form Data into Documents

Automatically convert form submissions into outputs. For example, we can develop templates for personalised reports, certificates and other documents using submitted form.

Ensure Compliance and Documentation

Standardise information collection across your organisation to meet industry-specific regulatory requirements. Maintain audit trails and capture clear consent records automatically with every submission.

Generate Intelligent Insights and Decisions

Use form data to drive real-time decisions. For example, create application scoring mechanisms, generate assessment risk profiles, or segment people into service levels based on their responses.

Flexible Forms for Any Requirement

Our form portals are ideal for any requirement to systematically collect form data and apply this to business processes. You can create forms that support critical workflows or handle one-off requirements.

Examples include:

  • Grant & Funding Applications: Manage these lifecycles, from eligibility checks with branching logic to final reporting.
  • Employee & Volunteer Screening: Simplify onboarding with multi-stage forms for background checks, reference submissions, and document verification.
  • Professional Certification & Audits: Conduct detailed audits and assessments with response grids and evidence upload capabilities.
  • Tenant & Property Management: Handle maintenance assessments, tenant screening applications, and compliance reporting efficiently.
  • Healthcare & Clinical Assessments: Guide patients or clinicians through questionnaires and suitability forms with conditional pathways.
  • Investment & Advisory Services: Capture detailed client information for suitability assessments and risk profiling while ensuring regulatory compliance.
Setup complex questions and data types

Flexible Form Features

Our portals include a rich set of form features to handle data collection needs, from the simple to the highly complex.

Intelligent & Dynamic Forms

  • Conditional Logic: Show or hide questions and pages based on previous answers.
  • Flexible Field Types: Simplify form completion with various field options including dropdown lists, check boxes and radio button groups.
  • Multi-Step Journeys: Break complex processes into manageable steps with progress indicators to guide users and reduce abandonment.

Seamless Dynamics 365 Integration

  • Pre-populate Form Fields: For identifiable users, you can pull data directly from a related Dynamics record to autofill specific field values.
  • Update CRM Records: Enable form submissions to update table fields on parent or related records, like contacts, assessments or certifications.
  • Native Data Sync: All data is written back to Microsoft Dataverse for instant access in Dynamics 365 - no third-party connectors required.

Assured Data Accuracy & Integrity

  • Loqate Address Data: Integrate Loqate for address lookup and verification.
  • Field Validation: Set data validation rules (e.g., for email formats or numbers) to ensure correct data.
  • Secure Document Uploads: Allow users to securely upload documents that can be automatically filed in SharePoint.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do form portals differ from Microsoft Forms or Customer Voice?

Microsoft Forms and Dynamics 365 Customer Voice offer limited customisable features beyond basic web forms and surveys. We enable you to publish fully bespoke forms that reflect your branding and feature custom controls, including advanced conditional rules to consistently capture complete and accurate data.

How many forms and submissions are supported?

Our portal solutions are highly scalable, so you can create unlimited forms that capture as many submissions as possible.

How do people access these forms?

Individuals often access forms by clicking a generic link, so submissions will be anonymous unless the web form is configured to capture their contact details.

In other instances, people can open forms from a unique weblink they have received that will identify them. Alternatively, your portal can be configured to enforce user log-in and authentication through Entra, Microsoft’s secure login system.

Can forms be prefilled with data from Dynamics 365?

Form fields can display data from related records in Dynamics 365, reducing data input and allowing people to confirm or update this information. Pre-populated fields are supported for authenticated users or when people access a form by clicking a unique link that identifies them.

What happens to the files that users upload?

Uploaded PDF documents, images and other supported files will be stored securely in the cloud using Azure Blob Storage. An automated flow will also put these files into SharePoint.

How long does it take to build and launch a form portal?

This is not a pre-packaged solution. The development time will vary depending on the complexity of your web forms. Also, the initial form will generally take longer as we provide technical assistance to create your base template, including header and footer elements, which can be replicated for additional templates. Our initial setup typically requires 3-4 days to create and publish your first form.
