Cut Manual Work for Operations Team in
Dayton, Ohio

Inspection paperwork logged twice. Supplier records typed into one system, then typed again into another. Dayton's manufacturing and health-system operations teams lose hours a week to hand-offs a flow could run in the background. Sunflower Lab has shipped 250+ Power Automate projects with a 96% client retention rate — our Hilliard office is about 70 minutes away, close enough for on-site work without flying anyone in.

End-To-End Power Automate Consulting

Power Automate development is the practice of building automated workflows on Microsoft's Power Automate platform (part of the Power Platform) connecting apps like SharePoint, Dynamics 365, Outlook, and other systems so data moves between them without manual entry. For Dayton businesses running legacy manufacturing ERPs or Microsoft 365, this typically means automating inspection reporting, supplier onboarding, and patient-record or claims routing for local health systems, cutting the hours a team spends copying data between systems by up to 80%.

Strategic Automation Planning

Before any flow gets built, we spend time inside your Dayton team's actual process — where a form sits waiting, who's re-keying data twice, what's worth automating versus what needs a process fix first. Common candidates we see in the Dayton area: inspection reporting, supplier onboarding, legacy ERP data entry. You leave with a prioritized roadmap, not a guess.

Process Audit ROI Scoping Governance Mapping

Power Automate Design & Development

We build cloud flows on Microsoft's 750+ connectors first, and write a custom API connector only when nothing off-the-shelf fits. Error handling and retry logic go in at build time, not after something breaks mid-shift. Most single workflows for Dayton clients are live in 1-2 weeks.

Power Automate Integration

Dynamics 365, SharePoint, SAP, Sage 300, or the shop-floor ERP already running your Dayton production line, we connect it inside your existing Microsoft tenant and security setup. No rip-and-replace, no extra vendor to manage.

Power Automate Desktop Service

Legacy manufacturing ERPs, older health-system record systems, state systems with no API: Power Automate Desktop clicks and types through the screen the way your team already does, just faster and unattended.

Dominion Engineering

Inspections From 15 Minutes to Seconds

Dominion Engineering's product inspections took 15 minutes each, with data scattered across disconnected systems. We connected SharePoint and Dynamics 365 through Power Automate, auto-generating inspection tickets and Teams alerts on every receipt trigger. Result: inspection time cut to seconds, 10-15 hours saved weekly, and 60 hours saved monthly in receivables.

Common Questions

FAQ

A Power Automate consultant working with Dayton manufacturers and health systems starts inside the actual process — where paperwork stalls, which step gets re-keyed twice — then builds the flow against Microsoft's connector library, writing a custom connector only where nothing off-the-shelf fits. Sunflower Lab runs strategy, build, testing, and support from one US-based team, with no hand-off to a subcontractor for Dayton engagements.
Scope decides the timeline. A single flow — one inspection trigger, one approval routing — is usually live in 1-2 weeks. Connecting a shop-floor ERP or Dynamics 365 runs 3-6 weeks. Full department programs take 6-12 weeks. Most Dayton clients reach production in 4-8 weeks from kickoff, the same pace as Sunflower Lab's other Ohio engagements.
Yes. Power Automate Desktop (RPA) reads and operates older MES and ERP systems — the kind still running on plenty of Dayton-area production floors — the way an operator would: clicking, typing, reading the screen. No API required, no forced system upgrade before work starts.
Cost tracks scope, not location. A single automated workflow generally starts in the low five figures; multi-system builds run higher depending on connector count and legacy-system involvement. Sunflower Lab scopes a quote against your actual Dayton workflows before any commitment is made.
Sunflower Lab's office is in Hilliard, roughly 70 minutes east of Dayton — close enough for on-site kickoff and milestone visits without flying anyone in. Day-to-day work runs remote, the same model used for every Sunflower Lab engagement, with no offshore hand-off at any stage.
Power Automate pairs with AI Builder's OCR to pull data off scanned intake forms or claims documents, then routes the record through an approval flow automatically — no manual re-entry. A typical setup: a scanned form triggers OCR extraction, populates a record in the practice or hospital system, and notifies the right staff member in Teams, with the source document logged for audit.
