Streamlined BOM Cost Optimization with Power Automate

Project Description

I showcase a transformative project aimed at revolutionizing budgeting processes within organizations. Leveraging Power Automate, I developed a dynamic workflow to streamline cost optimization for Bill of Materials (BOM). By harnessing product component specifications and APIs to search vendor websites, the flow retrieves real-time pricing, availability, and pacing data, reducing budgeting time from 15 days to just 1.5 hours. This innovative solution empowers companies to make swift, informed decisions and achieve significant cost savings.



Through this project, I have showcased my expertise in leveraging technology to optimize processes, drive efficiency, and deliver measurable value to organizations seeking to enhance their financial management practices.
