Smart Replenishment on Microsoft Power Platform

The client needed a centralized system to track inventory across multiple retail locations, including stock levels, transfer status, and supplier lead times. Manual processes caused stockouts, overstock, and poor visibility into real-time inventory movement.

Challenge

• Inventory across dozens of locations tracked independently
• Paper-based receiving and stock audits led to inaccurate counts
• No automated reorder alerts or replenishment triggers
• No centralized view of supplier lead times and transfer status

Solution

• Cloud-based inventory management built with Microsoft Power Apps
• Power Apps connecting with Dynamics 365 Supply Chain
• Real-time dashboards for stock levels and replenishment monitoring
• Multi-location inventory tracking with automated reorder alerts
• Barcode scanning capability for efficient receiving and stock audits

Architecture

Outcome

• 99% inventory accuracy across all retail locations
• 40% stockout reduction through automated replenishment
• 25-35% replenishment cycle time reduction with proactive alerts
• System replaced manual inventory processes across all locations
