The

Challenge

The Friction of Paper in a Digital World

Transforming Manual PDF Processing into Intelligent Pricing Automation

For a leading global manufacturer, efficient supply chain management hinges on accurate and timely data. However, a critical process was still chained to manual labor: the daily updating of product prices and Purchase Order (PO) numbers based on vendor-supplied PDF files.

Each day, dozens of new or updated price lists arrived as PDFs. Analysts were forced to:

  • Manually open each PDF.
  • Visually locate key data points (Price, PO Number, Order Details).
  • Type that information into an Excel price master.
  • Manually compare the new price against the existing record to spot changes.

This process was slow, prone to transposition errors, and generated zero real-time visibility. It was a classic “human firewall” bottleneck, consuming valuable time and delaying critical pricing decisions.

The client needed a unified, secure, and intelligent system that could effortlessly transform static PDFs into dynamic, actionable data.

The

Solution

A Custom, End-to-End Power Platform Workflow

At Codeplateau, we approached this challenge not as a simple data extraction task, but as an opportunity to build a custom, scalable data engine. We leveraged our expertise as a leading power platform development company to construct a seamless, multi-layered solution using Power Apps, SharePoint, and Power Automate. 

  1. The Human Gateway (Power Apps UI)

We started with the user experience. Our expert power apps developers engineered a clean, intuitive interface that serves as the single point of entry. 

  • Secure Upload: Users simply drag-and-drop their PDF files directly into the Power App. 
  • Automatic Tagging: Upon upload, the app automatically captures crucial metadata (Upload Date, Time, and User ID), ensuring a robust, tamper-proof record from the start. 
  1. The Secure Foundation (SharePoint Storage)

All uploaded files are instantly and securely archived in a centralized SharePoint Document Library. SharePoint acts as the secure, auditable file repository, maintaining version history and supporting the metadata captured by the Power App for compliance tracking. 

  1. The Digital Brain (Power Automate & RPA)

The moment a file lands in SharePoint, a Power Automate flow is triggered—this is the RPA engine that drives the intelligence: 

  • Intelligent Extraction: The flow employs advanced data extraction techniques (often including AI-powered components like AI Builder for enhanced accuracy) to identify and pull the PO Number, Price, and other order details directly from the PDF structure. 
  • Data Synchronization: The extracted data is immediately mapped to the central Excel price master, stored securely on SharePoint. 
  • Real-Time Validation & Update Logic: The flow performs an immediate, rules-based check: 
  • If the PO Number exists, it verifies the price. If the price is different, the record is automatically updated with the latest value and flagged. 
  • If the PO Number is new, a new entry is created. 
  1. The Strategic Insight Layer (Power BI Integration)

To turn data into strategic advantage, we deployed the final piece: the visualization layer. Building on our power bi consulting services foundation, we connected a dashboard directly to the updated price master. This gives leadership and procurement teams real-time strategic clarity: 

  • Price Change Tracking: Instant visualization of current and historical price variances by vendor, product, and date. 
  • Process Efficiency: Visibility into the automation’s performance (e.g., number of PDFs processed, number of exceptions). 
  • Proactive Negotiation: Empowering procurement teams with data to spot unfavorable price trends and optimize vendor contracts. 

The

Result

Real-Time Data, Zero Friction

The

Challenge

The bank’s ability to scale was hampered by a deeply entrenched, bespoke core banking system. When they introduced Salesforce for client relationship management, the legacy system created an immediate integration crisis:
  1. Slow Client Onboarding: Critical client documents, identity verification (KYC), and compliance checks lived in the legacy system. This required Loan Officers and Relationship Managers to manually cross-reference data, stretching the client onboarding process from days into weeks. 
  1. Compliance Risk: Fragmented data silos made generating unified audit trails impossible, drastically increasing regulatory risk and vulnerability to non-compliance fines. 
  1. Wasted Time & Cost: The IT department spent over 60 hours per week running manual batch scripts to synchronize client and transaction data, drastically increasing the custom Salesforce development cost through reactive maintenance. 

This operational friction threatened scalability and compliance. The bank urgently needed a reliable Salesforce implementation partner in US that could seamlessly integrate their core systems to mitigate risk. 

Codeplateau's

Strategic Solution

We engaged as their dedicated remote Salesforce integration partner US, utilizing Financial Services Cloud (FSC) best practices and following a disciplined, four-phase approach focused on security, data integrity, and compliance efficiency: 

Phase 1: Data Health Audit and Strategy (Targeting: Legacy System Integration) 

We performed a deep audit of the core banking system’s data schema and identified its API limitations. This phase established a compliant technical roadmap and produced a tailored Salesforce legacy system integration checklist US to ensure all regulatory requirements were met and project risk was minimized. 

Phase 2: Secure Custom Middleware Development 

Recognizing the sensitivity and complexity of financial data, we engineered a scalable, secure, and custom middleware solution. This layer facilitated guaranteed, bi-directional, real-time data sync between the core banking system and Salesforce Financial Services Cloud (FSC), ensuring a unified 360-degree client view. 

Phase 3: FSC and Loan Origination Workflow Automation 

We customized the FSC instance to align precisely with their lending and servicing workflows. We automated complex steps within loan origination and implemented automated compliance check triggers. This Salesforce solution for financial workflows was critical to ensuring high data integrity and quick user adoption. 

Phase 4: Compliance-Focused Change Management and Training 

Success depends on trust. We created focused training for Relationship Managers and Compliance Officers, teaching them how the integrated platform actively reduces risk and shortens loan cycle times, dramatically improving internal adoption rates.

ACTION

Steps

To develop Power BI dashboards for the client, our team at Codeplateau
A. Gathered and understood the client’s requirements: The client company had data for 102 key performance indicators, which needed to be analyzed and represented visually. To achieve these objectives, data needed to be visualized and presented on an LED screen to be viewed by everyone in the organization.
B. Designed Power BI dashboards: The developers used Microsoft Forms to digitize the data from Excel reports. To save the data on the centralized system, they used Microsoft SharePoint. For the customer, our team developed individual dashboards for each performance metric. The dashboards included interactive visuals like colour-coded graphs, bar charts, and pictures instead of cold numerical data. The developers designed the dashboards in a lucid format. All the employees at Anand Group could now view the visual reports from Power BI on a TV screen. They made this possible through the Power BI robot, a system that retrieves visuals from Power BI software and displays them on the screen with periodic data updates in real-time.
C. LED Installation at the Shopfloor by the customer: As a result, the workforce at the manufacturing units can not only view but also easily understand the meaning of data in terms of any undesired outcomes or production/ delivery delays and decide an appropriate course of action.
