Microsoft Power Platform Solutions for Retail and Wholesale
Inturing helps retail and wholesale organisations use the Microsoft Power Platform to streamline operations, reduce manual admin, and improve visibility across inventory, sales, service, and workforce workflows.
We build secure, practical solutions that connect teams and systems, standardise processes, and provide real-time insight across performance and operational execution.
That usually includes things like inventory and replenishment workflows, store and field operations apps, approvals and compliance tracking, operational dashboards, supplier and partner portals, and AI-ready foundations, all built with governance so the platform scales safely across stores, warehouses, and teams.
If you want quick wins that reduce friction across your operation and a roadmap that supports long-term scale and AI enablement, we can help
Why Inturing for Retail and Wholesale?
Retail and wholesale teams need speed, consistency, and visibility. Many organisations still rely on manual processes, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems that slow execution, create inventory issues, and reduce the ability to respond quickly across locations.

Reduce manual admin across store operations, approvals, and reporting
Standardise processes across locations, teams, and suppliers
Improve visibility into inventory, sales performance, and operational KPIs
Strengthen governance, security, and compliance controls
Build foundations for AI and Copilot-ready workflows that are safe and controlled
We do not just build apps or dashboards and disappear. We help you implement a platform that stays governed, scalable, and valuable over time.
