Impact
Improved pricing and budget accuracy by standardizing per-unit cost calculations across purchasing and forecasting workflows.
Enabled data stewards to govern conversion accuracy through a centralized workflow, improving long-term data integrity and trust.
Established a single source of truth for unit-of-measure conversions, reducing ambiguity and inconsistency across vendor and manufacturer data.
Supported downstream purchasing, budgeting, and forecasting decisions with normalized data, improving cost control and reducing variance between estimated and actual spend.
Reduced the risk of over-ordering and material waste by enabling more precise quantity planning and comparison across vendors.
Project Overview
The UOM Normalization & Pricing Accuracy project was created to address inconsistencies in how product units of measure were defined, converted, and priced across vendors and manufacturers. Products were frequently sold in varying formats—such as boxes, pallets, cartons, feet, yards, or repackaged quantities—making it difficult for procurement, finance, operations, and data stewardship teams to calculate true per-unit costs or compare vendors accurately.
The solution introduced a centralized Power App designed to normalize disparate units of measure into a standard base unit. By establishing consistent conversion logic and governed data entry, the application enabled data stewards to manage conversion accuracy while supporting procurement, finance, and operations teams with reliable per-unit pricing for purchasing, budgeting, and forecasting decisions.
Business Requirements
Standardizing unit-of-measure data to enable accurate pricing, fair vendor comparison, and governed procurement decisions at scale.

Design Focus
Rather than introducing complex workflows, the design focused on removing ambiguity from pricing by standardizing how units are defined, converted, and displayed. The interface was intentionally minimal, prioritizing accuracy, validation, and repeatability over configurability. This ensured teams could trust per-unit pricing without manual interpretation.
What this Enabled
By establishing a governed, centralized approach to unit-of-measure normalization, this solution enabled the organization to operate with greater confidence in pricing, budgeting, and procurement decisions. It shifted unit conversions from an implicit, error-prone process into an explicit system of record, strengthening data stewardship and reducing downstream risk. More importantly, it laid a foundation for consistent, scalable financial and operational analysis across vendors, projects, and forecasting workflows.
