Problem statement
The challenge
A multi-store retailer lost days on stock transfers and purchases while managers hunted approvals in email. Every location invented spreadsheet workarounds, and leaders lacked a live view of inventory and bottleneck health.
Architecture solution
How we solved it
Custom Power Apps and Dataverse models standardized store and warehouse workflows. Power Automate routed purchases and transfers with SLAs and mobile approvals. Power BI dashboards fed from the same operational data so leadership could see open requests and cycle time.
Business impact
What changed
Approvals and stock moves completed in hours instead of days. Locations worked from one pattern instead of local workarounds, and leaders stopped chasing weekly spreadsheet packs.
Deliverables
