Problem

Sales order, purchase order, shipment, and receiving information was scattered across ERP exports, spreadsheets, PDFs, and inboxes. Project managers needed a clear view of material status.

My role

I owned the purchasing process, designed the solution, and built the Power Apps interface and Power Automate workflows.

Solution

Scheduled NetSuite report intake feeds structured SharePoint lists. Users move through three views: sales orders, individual line items, and purchase orders, with receiving, tracking, and fulfillment information alongside them.

Key design decision

Unique record keys prevent duplicates. Clear purchasing statuses distinguish items that need review from those with a purchase order, work order, stock fulfillment, or no purchase order required. Batch checks and controlled imports protect the data; exception views make missing information visible.

Outcome

The app brought material status and exceptions into one searchable view for project managers, supporting routine follow-up without repeatedly piecing together separate reports. No measured time-saving or ROI claim is made.

Evidence

The interface below is a sanitized reconstruction with fictional records, not a screenshot of the production system. The illustrated line-item and purchase-order views follow the documented three-view structure.

JHA Documentation Automation

A mobile Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) documentation workflow that turns field submissions into PDF documents for email distribution and SharePoint filing.

Problem

Field documentation needed to become a consistent record that could be distributed and retrieved, rather than stopping at a form submission.

My role

I independently designed and built the mobile Power Apps solution and its document automation for a municipal infrastructure and public safety company.

Solution

The app captured field information, signatures, project-completion photos, and submission location. Power Automate processed submitted data using JSON and HTML to generate a PDF document, email it, and file it in SharePoint.

Key design decision

I connected capture, document formatting, distribution, and filing in one workflow so field information became a record ready to share and retrieve.

Outcome

The operational solution linked mobile documentation to PDF delivery and central filing. This is a documentation workflow for job hazard analysis; it does not establish OSHA compliance or certification.

Evidence

Original production screenshots and completed documents were not located. The field capture and output layout below are clearly labeled illustrations with fictional data, based on the documented workflow. They do not demonstrate a newly rebuilt live app.

Field Expense Tracker

A mobile app built with Power Apps for capturing receipts, documenting business purpose, submitting reports, and managing review decisions.

Problem

Field teams need to capture receipts and business context while managers need complete expense reports that are ready to review.

My role

I designed the data model, built the mobile app in Power Apps, and designed the review workflow as a portfolio project.

Solution

Related expense report and expense line tables in Dataverse support report creation, categorized expenses, receipt uploads, status tracking, and manager actions. Managers can approve, reject, or return reports for correction.

Key design decision

Report headers and individual expense lines are stored separately. Required business context, visible status, and a focused manager review queue support complete submissions and corrections.

Outcome

The portfolio build demonstrates receipt capture, report submission, and review states using sample data. It is not presented as a measured production deployment.

Evidence

The images are actual screenshots from Bobbi’s working portfolio app. The dashboard includes four summary counts and a rejected report in the list; it does not show a rejected summary count. The screenshot is preserved as captured, and the source does not establish why that count was omitted.
