Introduction

SmartBuy is a cutting-edge procurement solution built on Microsoft Power Apps, catering to organizations eager to streamline their procurement processes without incurring the high costs and low reliability of traditional solutions. Developed by Intelligenes, SmartBuy harnesses the power of Microsoft’s low-code environment to offer an unmatched return on investment (ROI), stability, and efficiency.

The Challenge

The Intelligenes team recognized a significant challenge in the market: existing procurement solutions often come as rigid, pre-packaged offerings, complete with features that many organizations find unnecessary. This “one-size-fits-all” approach forces customers to pay for functionalities they don’t need, lacking the scalability and customization options that modern organizations require. Additionally, these solutions often fall short in adapting to unique organizational requirements, creating a barrier to effective procurement management.

Solution

To address these challenges, SmartBuy was developed using Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate—a rapidly expanding and scalable low-code technology. After extensive market research and exploration of these tools, SmartBuy was designed to be easily customizable, allowing it to be tailored precisely to each client’s unique needs. This innovative solution resolves critical pain points in procurement processes and ensures seamless functionality. SmartBuy boasts a range of features and integrates effortlessly with Microsoft Teams for Office 365 customers, providing easy access to procurement processes. 

With SmartBuy, users can: 

  • Create and submit purchase requests for approval. 
  • Select vendors and designate preferred vendors. 
  • Support chain approvals for corporate groups, ensuring oversight by finance officers. 
  • Specify details like price per unit, quantity, delivery date, and payment method. 

Outcome

By automating internal procurement processes, SmartBuy delivers a highly customizable and integrated solution with Microsoft Teams. Users gain the ability to view and input product details and select preferred vendors, making the app ideal for both large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This enhances efficiency, streamlines procurement, and ultimately leads to a more tailored and effective procurement process.
