Project Overview

An Australia-based Hi-Tech company needed to automate the ingestion and processing of vendor stock update emails arriving daily from multiple suppliers. Using Microsoft Power Automate, the solution automatically reads incoming stock emails, extracts structured inventory data from attachments or email body, updates the central stock tracker in SharePoint, and generates consolidated summary reports distributed to the procurement and operations teams — with no manual intervention.

Client Requirements

  • Automatically monitor a shared mailbox for incoming vendor stock update emails.
  • Extract structured stock data from email body text or attached spreadsheets.
  • Update the central inventory tracker in SharePoint with the latest vendor stock figures.
  • Consolidate stock data from multiple vendors into a unified view.
  • Generate and distribute daily stock summary reports to procurement and operations teams.
  • Alert the team when stock levels from any vendor fall below defined threshold levels.
  • Maintain a log of all vendor stock updates received for audit and trend analysis.

Challenges & Solutions

Problem 1Procurement staff manually opened vendor stock emails each day, extracted figures from various formats (email body, Excel, CSV), and updated a shared spreadsheet — a fragmented, error-prone process that consumed significant daily effort.
SolutionBuilt an automated email bot using Power Automate that reads incoming vendor emails, extracts stock data regardless of format, and updates the SharePoint tracker automatically — eliminating all manual data handling.
Problem 2Stock data from different vendors arrived in inconsistent formats, making it difficult to consolidate into a unified inventory view without extensive manual reformatting.
SolutionDeveloped vendor-specific extraction logic for each supplier's email and attachment format. Extracted data is normalised and mapped to a standard schema before being written to the central inventory tracker.
Problem 3Low stock situations were only identified when procurement staff reviewed the tracker manually — often after delays — leading to stockouts and disrupted operations.
SolutionImplemented automated low-stock alerting — the flow checks each vendor's updated stock levels against predefined thresholds and instantly notifies the procurement team when any SKU falls below the minimum required level.
