Save Hours per Year

Case Study: Save 500+ Hours per Year with Power Automate

A mid-sized manufacturing company took on simple automation tasks to eliminate manual data entry across finance and operations. The result: over 500 hours saved in the first year.

Read on and see how.

The Challenge

Three departments entered the same production data into separate systems. Updates lagged, reports conflicted, and errors cost money.

The Solution

Using Power Automate, a flow was built that collected data once in SharePoint, synced to Dynamics 365, and sent daily summaries to Teams and Power BI.

Implementation Highlights

Implementation of a Power Automation can be simple. In this company, some automation highlights included:

• Used AI Builder for data validation

• Set role-based approvals for data changes

• Trained staff in two hours

The Results

While at OptimAIz, our favorite result is the eliminated headache of bureaucracy, there are also some easy ways to measure the ROI:

• 500 hours of manual work eliminated

• Error rate down 60 percent

• Reporting lag cut from two days to two hours

This business also experienced faster decisions and a more motivated team. Automation became the spark for a company-wide digital mindset.
