We worked on Presence, a scheduling app that integrates with both Teams and Power Apps, which had previously stalled due to incomplete work by other developers. The client had faced numerous unresolved issues for over a year, causing frustration and financial loss. Our team stepped in and successfully addressed a range of problems, such as fixing date restrictions, resolving calendar icon bugs, ensuring proper file displays, fixing email issues, improving admin settings, and streamlining tooltips.By resolving these long-standing issues, we restored the app’s functionality and significantly improved its usability for the client.

Client Requirements
The client approached us with the goal of reviving their internal scheduling application, Presence, which integrates with Microsoft Teams and Power Apps. The app was designed to streamline scheduling and communication within the organization, offering features such as calendar views, file sharing, admin-level controls, and email notifications. However, the app had been left incomplete by previous developers, with many features either broken or missing. The client required a fully functional solution that would restore confidence in the tool, eliminate ongoing bugs, and deliver a smooth user experience across Teams and Power Platform.
