Case Study: Louisiana-Pacific Corporation achieves paperless automation, lower costs and $1M+ in new pipeline with Microsoft Power Apps

Louisiana-Pacific stays at the cutting edge by transforming manual processes with Microsoft Power Automate

Louisiana‑Pacific Corporation (LP), a large building‑products manufacturer, needed to modernize slow, paper‑based workflows across its mills and sales teams to boost productivity and improve overall equipment effectiveness. To address this, LP adopted Microsoft Power Automate and Microsoft Power Apps from vendor Microsoft Power Apps to digitize approvals, maintenance processes, and event prospect capture.

With Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate acting as middleware and integrating with Office 365, SharePoint, and Power BI, LP automated approvals, safety alerts, maintenance record‑keeping, and sales data capture. The automation saved 15 hours per month on one sales process, generated more than USD 1 million in net new pipeline, cut paper costs (about USD 6,000 per mill per year), sped up hazard notifications, and delivered real‑time insights for better OEE decisions.
