⚠️ Legacy Challenge & Bottlenecks

Field crews inspected remote substations with paper checklists and WhatsApp photos, resulting in 10–14 MB smartphone JPEGs choking SharePoint storage quotas, missing asset serial numbers, unredacted GPS metadata in customer reports, and 5-day billing delays.

  • ✕Zero cellular connectivity inside underground utility vaults and remote wind sites
  • ✕Raw 12 MB mobile photos exhausting Dataverse/SharePoint file capacity
  • ✕Manual 45-minute Word report assembly per completed maintenance work order
  • ✕Customer sign-off disputes due to missing visual timestamps and seal stamps

✅ Power Platform + Zetaleap Solution

Built an offline-first Power Apps Canvas app utilizing local collections (`SaveData`/`LoadData`) and delegation-safe Dataverse sync queues. Equipment tags are generated via Zetaleap Vector QR/Code-128 API. Upon reconnect, Power Automate optimizes field photos to WebP with GDPR EXIF stripping (`UB-8`), merges photos into an inspection PDF (`UB-4`), applies a corporate approval stamp (`UB-5`), and archives heavy media into Zetaleap Drive Vault.

  • ✓Cut SharePoint & Dataverse image storage consumption by 82% via automated Zetaleap WebP optimization
  • ✓Instant customer PDF sign-off report delivered within 12 seconds of work-order completion
  • ✓Eliminated 4,600+ hours/year of back-office manual photo copy-pasting into Word reports
  • ✓99.8% asset identification accuracy using weather-resistant QR & Code-128B vector labels
