The Challenge

What was at stake

The existing SKU management process presented several operational issues:

Manual SKU creation and approval workflows
Inconsistent product data across departments
Delays in product onboarding
Limited visibility into approval status
Time-consuming spreadsheet-based tracking
Higher risk of human errors and duplicate records
Lack of centralized reporting

These challenges impacted productivity, slowed product launches, and increased administrative effort.

Our Solution

How we solved it

Our Microsoft Power Platform specialists designed and implemented a centralized SKU management application using Power Apps and Azure.

The solution included:

Custom SKU Management Portal

Automated Approval Workflows

Power Automate workflows routed SKU requests to the appropriate stakeholders, reducing manual intervention and approval delays.

Role-Based Access Control

Different user roles ensured secure access based on departmental responsibilities.

Centralized Product Database

All SKU information was stored in a unified data repository, eliminating duplicate records and improving data consistency.

Real-Time Dashboard

Interactive dashboards provided visibility into pending approvals, completed requests, and operational performance.

Seamless Microsoft Integration

Integrated with Microsoft 365 services to improve collaboration and notifications.

A manufacturing organization relied on manual processes to manage SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) approvals and product data updates across multiple departments. As the number of products increased, maintaining data accuracy, approval workflows, and compliance became increasingly challenging.
