Project Overview

A UK-based Oil and Gas company needed to consolidate fragmented asset records into one synchronized system. Using Microsoft Power Apps with Dataverse and Power Automate, Iqra Technology built an asset management app that centralises asset data, automatically synchronizes updates across sites, and eliminates duplicate or conflicting records.

Client Requirements

  • Consolidate asset records from multiple sites and spreadsheets into one centralised system.
  • Automatically synchronize asset data updates across all connected sites in near real time.
  • Detect and resolve duplicate or conflicting asset entries during synchronization.
  • Allow field staff to register, transfer, and update asset status via a mobile-friendly app.
  • Maintain a full change history for every asset, including location transfers and status updates.
  • Provide management with a consolidated asset dashboard across the entire organisation.

Challenges & Solutions

Problem 1Asset records were maintained separately across multiple site spreadsheets and legacy tools, leading to inconsistent data and no single source of truth for the organisation's asset inventory.
SolutionBuilt a centralised Power Apps and Dataverse asset management system that consolidates all site-level asset records into one unified, structured database.
Problem 2When assets were transferred between sites or updated locally, other sites' records were not updated, causing duplicate entries and conflicting asset status across the organisation.
SolutionImplemented automated synchronization flows in Power Automate that propagate asset updates and transfers across all sites in near real time, with conflict-detection logic to flag duplicate entries.
Problem 3There was no reliable history of asset movements or status changes, making it difficult to trace an asset's location and condition over time for audits or maintenance planning.
SolutionAdded a full asset change history log that captures every transfer, status update, and ownership change with timestamps for complete traceability.
