Partners

Hummingbird and Lovable

A governed data foundation, business applications that run the company, and net-new software shipped in days instead of quarters.

The backlog is the bottleneck

Most organizations are not short on ideas or on AI ambition. They are short on the ability to ship. The business case is real, the timeline is nine months, and the application waits in an IT queue until the moment for it has passed.

Lovable sits in Hummingbird's delivery toolbox alongside Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Microsoft Fabric and Copilot. It is not a departure from Microsoft — it is how the software at the edges of Microsoft gets built in days instead of quarters, and how it stays connected to the data and processes everything else already runs on.

“We are 100% Microsoft, and that is not changing. But ‘Microsoft-focused’ has never meant ‘Microsoft-only in every layer.’ Our clients have a system of record, a data platform, and then a long list of things that never make it into either. Lovable collapses that timeline to days. Our job is to make sure what gets built in those days is connected, governed, and worth keeping.”

Democratizing app building

Nobody asks permission to write a document

A Word document never built a company, but it is where plenty of them started — a plan, a pitch, a first draft, written by whoever had the idea, with no engineer in the room.

App building got treated differently — gated behind a backlog and a developer, on the assumption that building is the hard part. It rarely is. The hard part is the idea, and everything it has to connect to once it is real: the data, the approvals, the systems of record, the security it has to pass.

Lovable removes the first barrier — idea to working app, no waiting in line. Hummingbird owns the second — connecting that app to the data, systems, and controls an enterprise actually runs on.

Democratizing app building is not fewer standards. It is fewer people standing between an idea and something you can actually use.

How it fits

Data + BizApps + hyper-accelerated app development

Hummingbird works to a three-layer model of how a modern organization actually runs. Lovable belongs to the top layer, and only the top layer.

Three stacked layers: a navy data foundation, a blue business applications layer, and a ruby rapid application layer at the top
01

Data is the foundation, and it is still the hard part

Fabric, Dataverse and Azure are where the truth lives. Every agent, every report, and every application on top of them is only as good as that layer. Hummingbird builds it first, because AI applied to bad data just produces bad answers faster. Nothing in this partnership changes that sequence.

02

Business applications are where the company runs

Dynamics 365 Finance, Supply Chain, Sales and Customer Service, extended with Power Platform and Copilot, remain the backbone — the processes, the controls, the audit trail, the things that have to hold for a decade. This is Hummingbird's knitting and it stays that way.

03

Hyper-accelerated app development is the edge

The customer portal. The partner-facing tool. The internal app that eleven people need and no one will fund. The prototype that has to exist before anyone will approve the real thing. These do not belong in the ERP, and they rarely survive an IT queue. On Lovable they get built in days by the people who need them, and Hummingbird wires them back to the same Dataverse and Fabric foundation everything else runs on.

The honest version

The fit test comes first

Most partners will tell a client that everything belongs on the platform they sell. Hummingbird's position is that the fit test comes first. Some of this is Dynamics 365. Some of it is Power Platform. Some of it is Lovable. Getting that call right, early, is what keeps clients out of technical debt and vendor sprawl.

  • Customer and partner portals that sit beside the ERP rather than inside it
  • Internal tools for the eleven people who need them and never make the funding cut
  • Prototypes that have to exist before anyone will approve the real programme
  • Front ends over Dataverse and Fabric data that already exists but nobody can reach

Nectar Works + Lovable

Fast delivery, then faster still

Nectar Works, Hummingbird's AI-native delivery model, already compresses the parts of a project that usually take the longest: discovery, requirements, design and test. Lovable removes what is left — the build lag between agreeing what an application should do and having it in front of users.

The combination is the point. Speed on its own produces orphaned apps. The same team that builds in days wires the result into Dataverse and Fabric, keeps usage and cost visible, and supports it for as long as the business needs it.

Same day

A requirements workshop ends with a structured backlog and a build-target call on every item: Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Azure, or Lovable.

Days

The items that belong on Lovable get built and put in front of real users while the workshop is still fresh, not next quarter.

Years

What ships is connected, governed and supported on the same follow-the-sun model across EMEA, APAC and the US.
