Warehouse Tasking & Automation Layer
Legacy workflows relied on email, spreadsheets and manual updates, with weak visibility and governance. Sapnity implemented a reusable pattern combining SAP/D365, Power Platform and governance.

Legacy workflows relied on email, spreadsheets and manual updates, with weak visibility and governance.
- Process scattered across email, spreadsheets and chat groups.
- No single source of truth on status, ownership or backlog.
- Exceptions and escalations handled ad-hoc with limited auditability.
- Reporting backward-looking and manually compiled for reviews.
Target State with Sapnity
We defined a target state around a single, governed workflow that can be rolled out, scaled and measured.
- Power Apps standardises how work enters and flows through the process.
- Dataverse holds a clean, governed data model for cases, SLAs and approvals.
- Power Automate orchestrates notifications, approvals and system updates.
- Power BI provides near real-time operational visibility and KPIs.
Implementation Blueprint
Sapnity delivers this pattern in an iterative, low-risk way.
- 2–3 discovery workshops to map the as-is process and key variants.
- Design of a minimum viable workflow and role-based UX in Power Apps.
- Configuration of Dataverse tables for requests, approvals, SLAs and hand-offs.
- Set-up of connectors and integration patterns to SAP, D365 or core systems.
- Definition of SLAs, metrics and dashboards for operational governance.
Architecture Pattern
Each case uses a consistent reference architecture so that skills and governance can be reused.

Timeline & Approach
Typical first implementation runs 8–10 weeks from discovery to production, then becomes a template.
Phase 1 – Pilot
- 2–3 weeks – discovery, UX, backlog.
- 3–4 weeks – build, integrate, test.
- 1–2 weeks – UAT, go-live, hypercare.
Phase 2 – Scale
- Rollout to more regions or lines of business.
- Layer in more rules, automation and self-service.
- Formalise ownership in an internal automation CoE.
Indicative Impact
While exact numbers vary, clients consistently see:
Cycle time
25–40% faster
From request to closure.
Manual effort
30–50% less
Less chasing status and compiling reports.
Data quality
Higher
Structured data in Dataverse instead of scattered files.
Time to first value
8–10 weeks
From first workshop to production.
Tools & Platforms
- Power Apps for workflow UX and guided forms.
- Dataverse for governed data and relationships.
- Power Automate for approvals, notifications and integrations.
- Power BI for dashboards, KPIs and operational reviews.
- SAP / D365 / Core systems depending on the client landscape.
