Why Build Web Forms With m-Power?

Every data-entry project runs into the same things: The fields that don't match your process, the validation that lets bad data through, the app that only works at a desk, and the per-user fee as more people need access. m-Power answers each one. It builds forms and full database apps over your own tables, on the same security model as your other applications. Build them internally with m-Power, or have our consultants build for you.

Real m-Power web form for maintaining product records, with validated fields and dropdowns
01

Forms built around your data

Build forms directly over your database tables, with the fields, layout, and dropdowns your process needs, not a generic template. Make them single-page or multi-step.

02

Validate every entry

Catch bad data before it ever reaches the database. Require fields, check formats, and block duplicates before a record saves.

03

Full add, edit, look up, and delete

These are complete database apps. Create, update, search, and manage records from one place.

04

Works on every device

Every form is responsive, so the same app works on a phone or tablet for people entering data in the field or on the floor.

05

Runs over your data, in your environment

Forms read and write your own database, on-prem or in your cloud. No copy of your data sent anywhere else.

06

Add everyone, no per-seat fee

Perpetual license, no per-user fees. Roll forms out to every person who needs to enter or look up data.

We are really able to fine tune m-Power to match our business processes. You just can't get that from out-of-the-box software.

m-Power could create our order entry application, provide our business intelligence, create an on-line portal, and solve workflow requirements. All of this in the hands of our existing 2-person IT team.

What Can You Build?

Build over your existing database tables, on-premise or in the cloud. Whether your team builds with m-Power or our consultants build for you, here's what your forms can include:

01 · Data System

Watch a Data Management System Get Built

Watch a web-based data management system come together over live data, with forms to add and edit records and screens to look them back up, in about seven minutes.

  • Entry and edit forms over your tables
  • Lookups and search built in
  • Validation on every field
02 · Entry & Edit

Entry and Edit Forms

Give people a clean way to add and update records: The right fields, in the right order, with dropdowns pulled from live data and validation that keeps the database clean.

  • Add, edit, and update records
  • Live-data dropdowns and defaults
  • Required fields and format checks
03 · Lookups

Data Lookups and Search

Let people find what they need on their own. Build lookup and search screens over the same data, so a record is a few clicks away instead of a call to IT.

  • Search and filter your records
  • Drill from a list to a single record
  • Row-secured to the right people

04 · Into Workflow

Forms That Feed a Workflow

A form doesn't have to be the end of the line. Turn a submission into a process: Route it for approval, send a notification, and update the systems it touches.

  • Route submissions for approval
  • Trigger emails and alerts
  • Push data to your other systems
Routed for approval Notification email sent Database updated

What kind of web forms can m-Power build?

m-Power is the low-code development platform from mrc that builds web forms and full database apps over your existing tables. That covers entry and edit forms, multi-step forms, lookups, approval forms, and complete create, read, update, and delete apps, all over your own data and under your security model.

Yes. Require fields, check formats, set value ranges, and block duplicates before a record ever saves, so bad data gets caught at the form instead of in your database.

Full apps. m-Power builds complete create, read, update, and delete functionality, so the same app can add records, edit them, search and look them up, and manage them, not just capture input.

Yes. Build forms as standalone apps or embed them inside your existing m-Power applications or a portal, so data entry lives where the work already happens.

Yes. Every m-Power form is responsive, so the same form works on a phone or tablet for people entering data in the field or on the floor, including file uploads.

Yes. A submission can route for approval, trigger emails or alerts, and push data to your other systems, so a form becomes the front end of a tracked process rather than a dead end.

No. m-Power is a one-time perpetual license with no per-user fees, so you can roll forms out to everyone who needs to enter or look up data without the cost climbing as you add people. See the pricing page for how licensing works.

In your environment. Forms read and write your own database, on-prem or in your cloud, over any supported relational database (SQL Server, Oracle, Db2, MySQL, and more). There's no copy of your data sent elsewhere.

The build video creates a working data system in about seven minutes, and most forms come together in minutes to hours. In a demo, we'll build one over your own data.

Both. Your team can build with m-Power's low-code tools after a 5-day training, or our consultants can build it for you or alongside you. 96% of first-time services clients come back for another project.
