The challenge
A purchasing process ran on email and spreadsheets, so requests stalled, approvals were hard to track, and no one could see where a given order actually was.
What we built
We rebuilt the flow on Power Apps and Power Automate with a governed environment, and put a Power BI view on top so leaders can see volume, aging, and bottlenecks by stage.
- A Power Apps intake and a Power Automate approval flow.
- Governed environments and DLP policy from day one.
- A Power BI view of requests by stage and age.
Outcomes
- Requests move through a defined flow instead of email.
- Every order is trackable from intake to sign-off.
- Bottlenecks by stage are visible and fixable.
