Once the product is delivered – what’s next?
How a Power App supports your logistics all the way to the customer.
In a digital logistics setup, the process doesn’t necessarily end when the product leaves the warehouse. On the contrary, a new and critical phase begins: delivery, registration, and documentation at the customer site. With Microsoft Power Platform, you can extend your WMS setup with an app that ensures exactly this.
The app is designed for companies where full traceability is essential – not only within internal processes, but also in the hands of the customer.
Why an app for the final stage?
Once a product has been shipped from your warehouse, several questions arise:
- Was it received correctly?
- Which serial numbers were delivered?
- Who received it – and when?
- Where was it installed, and in what condition?
In many cases, having this information is critical – for example:
- Equipment that is leased and later returned
- Machines and components requiring service
- Products with warranty and maintenance requirements
- Compliance requirements in regulated industries
The app – at a glance
The app is built on Microsoft Power Platform and acts as a natural extension of your WMS solution. It:
- Features a layout and workflow similar to the picking app
- Uses mobile devices (phone/tablet) for data capture
- Allows the customer or technician to register:
- Serial numbers
- Photos
- Location
- Contact person
- Any relevant notes
Data is sent directly to your system, providing documentation and visibility – without manual intermediaries.
Example: Leased equipment
Imagine a company shipping advanced equipment to a customer on a three-month lease. With the Power App, the customer can:
- Scan the serial number upon receipt
- Upload a photo of the installation
- Confirm receipt digitally
When the equipment is returned, the sender already has complete documentation – eliminating uncertainty, errors, and gaps in history.
The benefits – for both you and your customer
Real-time documentation: No delays, no paperwork.
Improved customer service: Demonstrate full control of the process – even after delivery.
Traceability and security: Especially important for leasing, warranties, or regulatory compliance.
Full integration within the Microsoft universe: The app is built on Power Platform and integrates seamlessly with Dynamics 365.
A new dimension in your logistics
Many companies have already digitalized their warehouse – but few go further. With this Power App, you add a new dimension to your logistics: on-site delivery. It’s a simple yet effective way to elevate your service offering and create value in the final stage of the supply chain.
