Case Study: Kelly Roofing eliminates after-hours busywork and speeds job photo uploads with Microsoft Power Apps

For Kelly Roofing, Power Apps delivers value to customers and relief to workers

Kelly Roofing, a family-owned business and the largest roofing contractor in Collier County, Florida, was struggling to manage nearly 100 projects a week because its Dynamics 365 system lacked an integrated mobile way to capture and organize job-site photos and status updates. That gap forced crews to spend evenings manually reconciling photos and updating records. To solve this, Kelly Roofing turned to Microsoft Power Apps (part of the Power Platform) to build a task-focused mobile solution.

Using Microsoft Power Apps, partner PowerObjects developed the Job Photo App—a canvas app with Power Automate flows, Dataverse and SharePoint integration—deployed to 120+ crew members in weeks. The app stores photos offline, auto-uploads and names files, updates Dynamics 365 records, and posts updates to Teams and email. The Microsoft Power Apps solution cut photo processing time by more than 90%, trimmed crew travel times by 25%, reduced customer call-backs by 36%, and returned evenings to workers.
