Power Platform Solutions for Manufacturing in Australia
Inturing delivers Microsoft Power Platform consulting, implementation, and optimisation services for manufacturing organisations across Australia.
We help manufacturers digitise operational workflows, automate processes, unify production reporting, and build secure, scalable foundations for AI-enabled decision-making.
We specialise in delivering end-to-end Power Platform solutions from shop-floor Power Apps and approval workflows, to production dashboards, supplier portals, and governance-led platform rollouts that scale across sites, teams and business units.
Why Inturing for Manufacturing?
Most manufacturers do not need cool tech. They need real outcomes.
At Inturing, we focus on building production-ready Power Platform solutions that are:
Fast to roll out
Easy for teams to actually use
Built to scale across sites and shifts
Secure and governed from day one
Set up for AI and Copilot-ready workflows
We do not just build apps or dashboards and disappear. We help you build a platform you can keep improving over time.
Manufacturing Outcomes:
Digitise quality, safety and production checks with evidence capture and audit-ready trails
Automate shopfloor workflows like NCRs, corrective actions, approvals and escalations
Streamline maintenance processes with automated work orders, dispatch and PM scheduling
Reduce downtime by tracking breakdowns, root causes and actions in real time
Create live OEE, output and performance reporting across lines and sites
Build governed data foundations for AI, Copilot and smart factory use cases
-
We automate the stuff that slows operations down. Approvals, escalations, notifications, and handoffs. This means your team spends less time chasing and more time producing.
Common workflows we automate:
purchase approvals and CAPEX
quality deviation and escalation workflows
maintenance notifications and routing
stock exception alerts
reporting distribution and operational reminders
-
We build apps for the shop floor that make it easy to capture information in the moment. Cleanly, consistently, and with the right audit trail.
Typical manufacturing apps include:
QA inspections and checklists
downtime and incident tracking
maintenance request and work order apps
shift handovers and daily logs
safety and compliance reporting
We can include barcode scanning, photo capture, digital signatures, and offline-friendly patterns where needed.
-
We build dashboards that supervisors and leadership can actually use.
That usually includes:
throughput, downtime and OEE reporting
scrap and defect tracking
shift performance dashboards
quality and compliance reporting
executive reporting across sites
The goal is simple. One version of the truth and reporting that drives action.
-
We build secure portals so external stakeholders can self-serve instead of emailing your team all day.
Examples:
supplier onboarding and compliance docs
expiry tracking and renewals
contractor access and onboarding workflows
customer or job status requests, where applicable
-
Power Platform works best when it is connected to your real systems.
We integrate with:
Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint, Outlook)
Dynamics 365
ERP platforms like SAP, Oracle, Pronto, MYOB Advanced
SQL databases and data warehouses
on-prem and legacy systems via gateway
custom APIs and line-of-business systems
You do not need to replace your systems. Power Platform connects them and makes the workflows around them far more efficient.
-
This is what stops Power Platform from turning into a mess over time.
We build governance into the implementation so you can scale safely:
environment strategy and access control
data loss prevention (DLP) policies
auditing and monitoring
lifecycle management and deployment standards
platform documentation and handover
-
Manufacturing workflows need traceability. Not just "we think it happened".
We build solutions that capture:
inspection evidence (photos, signatures, timestamps)
approvals and escalation trails
structured logs for audits and compliance
clear reporting for root-cause analysis
-
AI works best when your processes and data are structured.
We help you get Copilot-ready by:
standardising workflows and data capture
setting up governed data models and permissions
building automation and reporting foundations that AI can actually use
removing the messy data problem before you layer AI on top
-
If you have multiple sites or teams, we build with scale in mind:
reusable components and templates
deployment patterns and release processes
centralised reporting models
platform governance that works long-term
-
Manufacturers do not want a one-off build. They want a platform that improves over time.
We can support:
enhancements and iterations
performance optimisation
reporting expansion
new workflow rollouts
managed services support
