Multi-site Engineering Collaboration Platform
The Challenge:
A medical device manufacturer struggled with engineering teams across three continents using disconnected tools for design specifications, resulting in version control issues and 3-week approval cycles. Critical design changes were lost in email chains, causing costly rework.
The Solution:
Deployed Power Apps portal integrated with SharePoint and Power Automate workflows to centralize design documentation, automate approval routing, and provide real-time collaboration dashboards. Power BI on Fabric tracked design cycle metrics and bottlenecks across global teams.
Result:
Approval cycles reduced from 21 days to 4 days, design rework decreased by 67%, and engineering productivity improved by 40%. The platform now manages 2,500+ active design documents with complete audit trails.
