QServices is a remote-first software consultancy serving Edmonton businesses in Energy, Public Sector, and Healthcare with Power Automate development. We are not headquartered in Edmonton. Our team is based in India, operating as a Microsoft Solutions Partner, with daily availability that overlaps Mountain Time mornings for standups and client reviews.
Edmonton's three primary sectors each carry manual workflow costs that Power Automate addresses well, but each sector has specific constraints that shape what the build looks like:
Typical Power Automate projects in these sectors connect SharePoint, Dynamics 365, SAP, or Dataverse to automated approval chains, data entry pipelines, and reporting dashboards. Common requests include procurement approvals, HR onboarding, safety incident reporting, and patient referral tracking.
Our team is in India (IST, UTC+5:30). Edmonton runs on Mountain Time, UTC-7 in winter and UTC-6 in summer. That is a 10.5- to 11.5-hour difference. We are direct about what this means in practice.
We schedule one daily sync in our team's evening IST, which lands at 7:30-9:30 AM Mountain Time. For most Edmonton clients, that covers a morning standup or review call before their day picks up. Everything outside that window runs async: written updates each evening IST covering what was built, what decisions are pending, and what we need from the client before we resume the following morning.
Code reviews, flow documentation, and sprint demos happen via shared Power Automate environments or recorded walkthroughs. Live calls go through Teams or Zoom. We share sandbox environments early so clients can test flows in the browser without waiting for a handoff. We do not offer on-site visits to Edmonton. If a go-live requires in-person coordination, we can discuss that during scoping.
PIPA Alberta data handling is reviewed during the scoping phase. We document which data fields flow through which connectors, where storage occurs, and what retention rules apply before writing any flow logic.
We do not have a published case study from an Edmonton-based client. Our completed Power Automate work is in Financial Services and IT services. Both share operational patterns with Edmonton's Public Sector and Energy sectors: multi-approver chains, integration with legacy line-of-business systems, and compliance-aware data handling.
For BA Systems, a mid-market banking firm, we integrated Power Automate with a live CRM without overwriting existing customizations. The project required dynamic enquiry routing to backend banking systems, connecting SQL Server while preserving data integrity across active CRM workflows. Public Sector and Energy clients in Edmonton face similar constraints when flows touch ERP or permitting systems that cannot tolerate downtime during a build.
For an IT services company, we used Power Automate as the orchestration layer between Azure DevOps, MS Teams, and a SQL database, automating meeting transcript capture, backlog creation with Fibonacci story point assignment, and sprint capacity tracking. The pattern of bridging departmental tools to a central system of record applies directly to Healthcare (clinical systems and SharePoint) and Public Sector (HR platforms and case management portals).

Engagements are priced in USD. Currency conversion is at the client's end. Typical brackets for an Edmonton-scale project:
If a formal PIPA Alberta compliance review is in scope, add USD $5,000-$20,000. Microsoft Power Automate licensing is the client's responsibility. Premium connectors for SAP, Salesforce, and certain healthcare APIs require per-user or per-flow premium plans. We flag all licensing requirements during scoping, not after the build. See our Power Automate pricing page for a full breakdown.
The first step is a 45-minute discovery call. We ask about your current workflow, the systems involved, and what a successful outcome looks like in 90 days. No pitch deck. Within three business days, we produce a scoping document that outlines proposed flows, integration points, timeline, and a fixed-price or time-and-materials estimate. Work begins once the document is signed.
Given the 10.5-hour time difference, expect a same-day response if you write in the morning Mountain Time. Use the contact form on this page to get started.
Yes. All of our client engagements are fully remote. We do not have a physical office in Edmonton or anywhere in Canada. Our working overlap with Mountain Time is approximately 7:30-9:30 AM MT each day, which is when we schedule live calls and reviews. All other communication runs async via Teams, Slack, or email, with written updates delivered each evening IST.
For data residency, we review storage and connector configurations for PIPA Alberta compliance during scoping. If your organization requires data to remain within Alberta or Canada, we build the flow architecture around approved storage locations before any automation touches personal data.
