Boat Parts Manufacturer Uses Power Platform to Modernize an Outdated Inspection Process

A boat parts manufacturer was running into operational hurdles caused by outdated inspection procedures and technology. With no reliable way to track progress or inspection status, the team dealt with issues stemming from unstructured data and inefficient manual data entry. They also lacked visibility into inspection outcomes, which held back decision-making. They turned to Kumo Partners to modernize the process on the Power Platform.

• Limited tracking: no way to see the progress or status of active inspections
• Inefficiencies: unstructured data led to confusion and multiple versions of the same inspection, with no source of truth
• No real-time insight: no visibility into the outcome of each inspection and no reporting capabilities
• Manual processes: data entry and time tracking were done by hand

Kumo Partners proposed and implemented a holistic Power Platform solution tailored to the manufacturer's inspection process, replacing manual, outdated apps and tools with a single modern, automated one.

At its center is a Boat Inspection Power App. Every inspection lives in one structured, integrated data source, time tracking and notifications run automatically, and reporting is built in rather than assembled after the fact.

• Full visibility into the status, progress, and outcome of each inspection, with the ability to search, sort, and filter inspections
• Structured, integrated data in a single location, removing manual data entry errors
• Automated time tracking and notification workflows that save time and drive accountability
• Reporting and analytics that improve productivity and reduce operational cost
