If you are choosing an accounts payable automation solution for Dynamics 365 Finance, the hardest part is comparing options on the same terms. Every vendor claims strong automation, strong integration, and strong ROI. Avanade set out to test those claims with a structured, weighted benchmark.

Here is what the benchmark measured, how Truvio AP Automation scored, and where to get the full comparison.

What is the best AP automation solution for Dynamics 365?

Based on Avanade's June 2026 benchmark, Truvio AP Automation powered by ExFlow received the highest overall enterprise fit score for Dynamics 365, at 4.65 out of 5. Avanade identified it as the best fit for complex, global organizations that are standardizing on D365, with particular strength in functional coverage, native integration, and AI automation inside the familiar Dynamics interface.

The benchmark compared several leading AP automation solutions. Truvio AP Automation scored highest for overall D365-centric enterprise fit.

How Avanade built the benchmark

Avanade evaluated each solution against five weighted criteria, chosen to reflect what actually drives an enterprise AP automation decision on Dynamics 365. The weights show how much each criterion counted toward the overall score.

The scoring draws on publicly available information, solution documentation, and expert evaluation. Scores reflect a D365-centric enterprise context and can vary with specific business requirements, operating models, and regional needs.

How Truvio AP Automation scored

Truvio AP Automation powered by ExFlow scored as follows on each weighted criterion:

Why it scored this way

The pattern behind the scores is consistent. Truvio AP Automation runs inside Dynamics 365 rather than beside it. There is no separate platform to maintain, no external interface for AP teams to learn, and no data copied between systems. That native design is what earns top marks for functional coverage, integration, and user experience.

The two four-star scores point to where the value builds over time rather than on day one. Scalability strengthens as invoice volumes and entities grow, and the cost case improves as ROI compounds at scale. For a global finance operation, those are the areas that matter most in year two and beyond, not just at go-live.

How does it compare to other AP automation solutions?

Avanade scored Truvio AP Automation against other leading AP automation solutions for Dynamics 365, including native D365 AP and well-known third-party platforms. Truvio AP Automation earned the highest overall enterprise fit at 4.65 out of 5.
