Microsoft’s AppSource marketplace expands with cutting-edge applications and consulting services in September 2025, featuring AI-driven compliance tools, digital twins, and regional industry solutions aimed at boosting productivity and operational efficiency across sectors.
Microsoft’s AppSource marketplace continues to expand its offering with a fresh batch of innovative applications and consulting services aimed at enhancing productivity, operational efficiency, and digital transformation across various industries. The latest batch, announced in September 2025, features solutions ranging from subscription optimisation tools to advanced digital twin platforms, AI-powered compliance scanners, and streamlined workflow applications.
One standout addition is 365Metrics by Chrysalis SAS, a SaaS solution crafted to optimise Microsoft 365 subscriptions. By employing a FinOps approach, 365Metrics helps organisations reduce licence costs while boosting employee productivity, reportedly delivering an average cost saving of around 15% on subscriptions. The service includes a comprehensive financial audit, user adoption assessments across Microsoft 365 services, and a detailed Power BI presentation highlighting optimisation opportunities. It’s noteworthy that this solution is currently available only in French, targeting French-speaking markets.
From the manufacturing and industrial operations sector, Celebal Technologies introduces the 3D Digital Twin platform. This solution innovatively bridges the gap between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) by integrating data for immersive 3D visualisations, live operational metrics, and AI chat assistance. Combining Microsoft Azure and NVIDIA technologies, it tackles traditional data silos, enabling real-time monitoring and synchronisation between physical assets and their digital replicas. This approach aligns with broader industry trends, as Celebal Technologies emphasises in other offerings, where IoT, AI, and machine learning are leveraged to enhance supply chains, agility, and real-time KPI visibility in manufacturing environments. Moreover, Celebal’s partnership with Kongsberg Digital enhances their digital twin capabilities further, offering cloud-based industrial work surfaces that contextualise and unify enterprise and operational data to drive operational excellence in energy and manufacturing sectors.
Addressing enterprise resource planning (ERP) needs, Acumens Deposit and Special-Order Management streamlines deposit handling and special-order workflows within Dynamics 365 Business Central and NAV. With features like advanced reservation management, multiple payment integration, and consolidated sales and purchasing deposits, it promises to improve cash flow control and operational efficiency for businesses leveraging Microsoft’s ERP solutions.
Other applications focus on improving user experiences and organisational compliance. For instance, AffableBPM’s Discovery Copilot offers prompt-based, contextual search capabilities designed to cut through data noise, providing users with concise, actionable summaries. HydroX AI’s AI Compliance Scanner automates regulatory reporting while offering continuous monitoring and audit-ready documentation tailored for highly regulated industries such as finance and healthcare.
Invoice processing is also receiving a significant boost from Advaiya Solutions through AI Invoice OCR, which employs AI-driven data extraction and optical character recognition within Microsoft Power Apps to centralise and automate invoice submission and approvals, reducing manual errors and ensuring compliance.
Additional noteworthy innovations include Alpha Data’s Rapid AI Assessment, which assists companies in evaluating AI readiness and aligns stakeholders for AI integration strategies, thereby de-risking AI adoption and accelerating value realisation in enterprises.
The breadth of new releases also spans HR and payroll, with APT HRPAY tailored specifically for businesses within the Gulf Cooperation Council, embedding regional labour law compliance and biometric integration. Navigation and intranet usability enhancements come from AQL’s suite of SharePoint Web Parts, including personalized navigation, FAQ modules, people directories, and project roadmaps, all designed to foster stronger internal collaboration and information access.
Furthermore, Microsoft’s marketplace supports the launch of forward-looking workshops, proofs of concept, and implementation services that facilitate the adoption of AI-powered tools, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Dynamics 365 enhancements, and strategic planning solutions, helping organisations transition smoothly into a data-driven future.
These developments reflect Microsoft’s continuing commitment to enabling digital transformation by providing diverse tools that integrate AI, cloud computing, and robust workflow automation. They also demonstrate an ecosystem approach where partners leverage Microsoft technologies to build specialised applications addressing industry-specific and regional needs, driving productivity, cost efficiency, and compliance across sectors.
