The client was for looking for a Microsoft Gold Partner to develop a Power Pages solution that can provide real-time tracking of shipments, enable secure communication with customers, and allow for easy collaboration between different stakeholders in the supply chain.

Collaboration platform: The Power Pages solution serves as a collaboration platform for different stakeholders in the supply chain, including shippers, carriers, and freight forwarders. The Power Pages solution allows stakeholders to exchange documents, share information, and collaborate on shipment-related tasks.
Analytics dashboard: The Power Pages solution will provide a centralized analytics dashboard using Microsoft Power BI, it allows the client to monitor key performance indicators, identify bottlenecks in the supply chain, and make data-driven decisions.
To implement the solution, we used a combination of Azure services, including Azure IoT Hub, Azure Event Hubs, and Azure Functions.
