Power Platform for Manufacturing

Manufacturers often struggle with disconnected systems across production, sales, and distribution. This session demonstrates how Microsoft Power Platform brings these areas together. Learn how manufacturers use Power BI, Power Apps, Dataverse, and Power Pages to turn raw manufacturing data into real- time insights.

You’ll learn how manufacturers can:
Use Power BI to gain real-time visibility into production performance, operational disruptions, and quality
Centralize order tracking across production, sales, and customer service using Power Apps and Dataverse
Improve distributor experiences by providing secure self-service portals built on Power Pages
Reduce manual reporting, improve responsiveness, and lower RMA-related costs through Power Platform tools
