BeDa Fahrschule's Citizen Developer Journey with the Microsoft Power Platform
Introduction
BeDa Fahrschule, based in Weinfelden, Switzerland, offers a range of services including driver education, motorcycle training, truck driving school, and first aid courses. The company owner embarked on an inspiring journey to develop exceptional skills as a citizen developer for the Microsoft Power Platform.
Several years ago, the owner developed a solution using Microsoft Access to manage the driving school's operations. However, with the team predominantly working remotely, the necessity for an accessible tool from anywhere became apparent. This prompted the creation of a solution using the Microsoft Power Platform, with us from WinOn365 providing guidance and coaching throughout the process.
Leveraging the Power of the Microsoft Power Platform
The Microsoft Power Platform had a profound impact on BeDa Fahrschule's daily operations. By utilizing Microsoft Dataverse and Model Driven Apps, the company owner empowered the driving school to efficiently use essential functions like student records, driver permits, billing, payments, and price and offer management. The Microsoft Power Platform offered a flexible and user-friendly environment, where all data is centralized, enabling seamless access from anywhere using mobile devices and ensuring up-to-date information for customers.

By automating this aspect, BeDa Fahrschule saved valuable time and resources while enhancing customer service.
