Workflow Automation and Process Overhaul, Auto Refinance Company

Three interconnected SharePoint sites and 35+ Power Automate flows replaced a paper-based operation that was slowing down every department. A Microsoft Forms gatekeeper caught errors at the source before they reached the funding team. Automated routing and status notifications replaced manual follow-up. Management got real-time dashboards without having to ask anyone for data.

The Problem

A company running on paper and tribal knowledge

The company was running on paper checklists, printed training materials, and knowledge that lived in people’s heads instead of a system anyone could reliably access. There was no central place for management to track sales and funding performance. The funding team had no organized workspace for active deals. The sales team had no consistent reference for the processes and lending partner requirements that changed regularly. Documentation errors were slowing down every department, and there was no mechanism to catch those errors before they reached the funding review stage.

What I Built

Three interconnected sites. 50+ Pages. 35+ automated flows.

Three separate SharePoint sites with over 50 pages built in total, each designed for a different audience and connected by 35+ Power Automate flows. A Microsoft Forms gatekeeper replaced the paper submission checklist, validating all required data before triggering any downstream workflow.

The Management Site

Executives and managers received a single place to access custom performance reports, real-time dashboards, and lending partner information. Permission controls kept management-only content separate from what the rest of the staff needed access to.

The Funding Site

Organized active deals through a SharePoint list, provided the funding team with deal-specific guides and resources, and used Power Automate flows triggered by deal status changes to automate routing and status notifications. When a deal status changed, a flow automatically retrieved the relevant notes and sent a targeted notification to the assigned consultant in Microsoft Teams, so they knew exactly what needed to be corrected and why.

The Knowledge Base

Served the full company with a focus on the sales team. Housed all SOPs, training guides, process walkthroughs, and reference documents that anyone in the company needed to do their job. This replaced the existing system of printed materials that became outdated the moment they came off the printer.

Microsoft Forms Gatekeeper

Replaced the paper-based deal submission checklist with a Microsoft Form. The form walked sales consultants through confirming deal numbers, required documents, key dates, and data points before any workflow triggered. Errors were caught at the source before they reached the funding team. Submitted form data flowed automatically into the funding SharePoint list via Power Automate, triggering the downstream review and routing process.

The Result

~12% reduction in team-wide error rates.

Team-wide error rates dropped by approximately 12%. That number reflects the combination of the new systems and consistent hands-on training delivered alongside the rollout. A company that had been relying on printed materials and tribal knowledge ended up with a documented, organized, and automated foundation it could maintain and build on after the work was done.
