Internal ordering/Shopping system

Hello all   I am looking at ways to build a platform/simple system where our IT team can list some items they want to get rid of for example laptops, monitors etc, and our internal staff can access...
microsoft forms

kc1986 yes this is quite possible and we've done it at my company in the past. If you use Forms on its own all it can do is to log the request, it can't do anything else with it. So...you won't be able to build this with Forms on its own but will also need to use a SharePoint list and some flows in Power Automate to link it all up, check whether the requestor has already submitted a request and send confirmation email of the request/reservation to the requestor and finally send a response when IT have approved or rejected it. I've got a bit of time later today so will put together a simple demo for you.

Hi RobElliott, that's fantastic thank you! I didn't think Forms could do it standalone, so was expecting some sort of integration with PowerApps/Power Automate/Sharepoint. I'm new to this and not done much with it so please forgive any silly questions

Looking forward to seeing your demo 🙂

Thanks again!
