Solzet built 8 custom PCF controls as a white-label subcontractor for a UK Microsoft Solutions Partner delivering a Dynamics 365 implementation for a healthcare organization. The partner lacked in-house TypeScript and React expertise, and hiring permanent PCF developers for one project was not cost-effective. For 3 months, 2 senior Solzet PCF developers worked as members of the partner's delivery team, using the partner's email, Teams channels, and Azure DevOps repository with full pull request review. The controls included a patient timeline, a scheduling grid, a document viewer with annotation, and an advanced patient search, built in TypeScript, React, and Fluent UI. All 8 were delivered on time and under budget.

What problem did the client need to solve?

A UK-based Microsoft Solutions Partner won a large Dynamics 365 implementation for a healthcare organization but lacked in-house TypeScript/React expertise for the 8 custom PCF controls required by the project. Hiring permanent PCF developers was not cost-effective for a single project. The partner needed a reliable subcontractor who could deliver production-quality PCF controls on a fixed timeline, work under their brand with the end client, and integrate into their Azure DevOps workflow.

What did Solzet build?

Solzet provided 2 senior PCF developers who worked as white-label members of the partner's delivery team for 3 months. All communication used the partner's email and Teams channels. Deliverables included: a custom patient timeline PCF control (React-based, showing medical history on a D365 form); an interactive scheduling grid for appointment management; a document viewer with annotation capabilities; a custom search control with advanced filtering for patient records; and 4 additional form-level and dataset-level controls. All controls were built in TypeScript + React + Fluent UI, tested across browsers, packaged as managed solutions, and documented for the partner's internal maintenance team. Code was committed to the partner's Azure DevOps repository with full PR review process.

What results did the project deliver?

All 8 PCF controls delivered on time over 3 months

Project completed under the original budget estimate for external PCF work

Zero post-deployment bugs reported in first 3 months of production use

Partner subsequently engaged Solzet for 2 additional projects

What do buyers ask about this project?

What does white-label PCF subcontracting look like in practice?

The 2 Solzet developers worked as members of the partner's delivery team for 3 months. All communication used the partner's email and Teams channels, the end client dealt with the partner's brand, and code was committed to the partner's Azure DevOps repository through its full pull request review process.

Which PCF controls were delivered?

A React-based patient timeline showing medical history on a Dynamics 365 form, an interactive scheduling grid for appointment management, a document viewer with annotation, a custom search control with advanced filtering for patient records, and 4 further form-level and dataset-level controls.

What technology were the controls built with?

TypeScript, React, and Fluent UI on the PowerApps Component Framework. Every control was tested across browsers, packaged as a managed solution, and documented for the partner's internal maintenance team.

Why did the partner subcontract rather than hire PCF developers?

The project needed 8 custom PCF controls and the partner had no in-house TypeScript and React expertise. Hiring permanent PCF developers for a single project was not cost-effective, so the partner needed a subcontractor who could deliver production-quality controls on a fixed timeline, under its brand, inside its Azure DevOps workflow.

What were the results for the partner?

All 8 PCF controls were delivered on time over 3 months, the work came in under the original budget estimate for external PCF development, no post-deployment bugs were reported in the first 3 months of production use, and the partner subsequently engaged Solzet for 2 additional projects.
