Device Lifecycle Management System – Real-Time Asset Tracking & Automation

Project Overview

This large-scale system was developed to manage the entire lifecycle of 750,000+ devices—from inventory intake to repair, shipment, and disposal. The aim was to modernise tracking processes, eliminate manual overhead, and empower real-time decision-making using Microsoft’s Power Platform.

Key Contributions

• PowerApps Development: Built a user-friendly app for warehouse staff and engineers to enter real-time data on device status, reducing manual data entry errors by 25% and improving accuracy by 30%.

• Workflow Automation: Implemented Power Automate flows to manage device repairs, shipments, and approval chains, resulting in a 50% increase in process efficiency and a 40% reduction in approval delays.

• Power BI Dashboards: Created real-time dashboards displaying device metrics—inventory levels, repair status, and shipment timelines—cutting reporting time by 30% and improving visibility for senior management.

• SQL & Dataverse Integration: Designed a secure backend using SQL and Dataverse for seamless data storage and fast retrieval, improving response time for data queries by 20%.

• Team & Delivery Leadership: Managed a cross-functional team of 5 engineers, delivering the project on time while ensuring high-quality outcomes and risk mitigation throughout delivery.

• Business Analysis: Gathered requirements across warehouse, logistics, and engineering teams. Mapped 15+ processes to align functionality with real-world operations, resulting in a 35% reduction in inefficiencies.

• Data Analytics & Insights: Used Power BI to uncover process bottlenecks, enabling faster shipments and reducing turnaround times by 25%.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborated closely with stakeholders to ensure the system met strategic goals and delivered a 20% improvement in decision-making effectiveness.

Outcomes

• 750,000+ devices tracked in real-time.
• 50% improvement in end-to-end process efficiency.
• 30% faster reporting and insights delivery.
• 25% faster shipment turnaround times due to improved visibility and analytics.

Managing scale and performance for 750,000+ tracked assets. Coordinating input from logistics, warehousing, and engineering departments. Ensuring seamless integration between apps, automation flows, and backend databases. Driving adoption across a large, non-technical user base.
