FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions Before You Automate

What processes can a wholesale business automate?+

Wholesale businesses can automate repetitive steps around order intake, approvals, stock exceptions, supplier follow-up and operational notifications. The best candidates depend on transaction volume, existing systems, data quality and how exceptions need to be managed.

Can Power Platform integrate with an existing ERP or stock system?+

Power Platform can connect with many business systems through available connectors, APIs and other integration methods. The right approach depends on the ERP, WMS, or stock platform, its interfaces, and the data involved.

Do we need to replace our ERP to automate wholesale processes?+

Not necessarily. Selected workflows can often be improved around an existing ERP or stock system. Replacement is a separate decision where the core platform itself no longer supports the business's operational requirements.
