Stuut has announced a deeper relationship with Microsoft. Consequently, enterprise finance teams gain faster access to autonomous order-to-cash solutions. The expanded partnership combines an investment from M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund. Additionally, Stuut is now available through the Microsoft Marketplace. Furthermore, Stuut secured a spot in the invite-only Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program.
As a result, the Microsoft Marketplace relationship offers enterprise finance teams a quicker path. They can now purchase and deploy autonomous order-to-cash technology. This happens through existing Microsoft procurement and cloud commitments. Meanwhile, Stuut’s AI computer integrates directly into Azure environments. Therefore, the Pegasus Program acceptance aims to boost B2B opportunity generation.
What This Microsoft Relationship Delivers
First, Stuut offers a faster procurement path. It’s available as an Azure benefit-eligible offer on Microsoft Marketplace. Second, Stuut provides a Microsoft Dynamics 365 deployment path. Specifically, it integrates seamlessly with Dynamics 365. Thus, finance teams can automate collections, cash application, and payments. They can also manage credit, disputes, and deductions efficiently. Importantly, teams keep their existing ERP environment intact.
Moreover, the Pegasus Program acceptance creates an acceleration path. This grants access to Azure’s AI models and enterprise-grade infrastructure. Additionally, it provides valuable go-to-market support. Finally, the M12 investment establishes a connectivity path. This helps identify integration opportunities within the Microsoft ecosystem going forward.
“For 40 years, software helped people work faster. Now, for the first time, AI can actually do the work,” said Cheryl Cheng, Managing Partner at M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund. “Stuut proves this in accounts receivable, where its AI helps businesses increase cash flow by 40% by autonomously executing core AR workflows. We’re excited to back them as they reinvent how companies think about unlocking working capital.”
Real-World Impact on Enterprise Customers
Notably, Bishop Lifting, a Microsoft Dynamics ERP customer, experienced this impact directly. “We run Microsoft Dynamics on-premise, so we’re a more challenging integration than most, yet Stuut was still up and collecting within days, if not hours,” said Jeff Martini, CFO of Bishop Lifting. “We didn’t rip or replace anything – Stuut was completely additive. Just weeks in, we freed up about 60% of the headcount cost tied to invoice-to-collections, and we reduced our open AR by millions in the first 90 days.”
Subsequently, beyond the M12 investment and Marketplace listing, Stuut joined the Pegasus Program. This program offers Microsoft AI services and Azure credits. It also provides expert guidance alongside co-selling opportunities with Microsoft’s enterprise customers.
“Enterprises are increasingly open to partnering with AI-native startups as these companies are moving beyond the hype and actually delivering real value to their partners,” said Tom Davis, General Manager of Microsoft for Startups. “Stuut’s approach aligns seamlessly with Microsoft’s mission to elevate enterprise operational efficiency. Through the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program and its deepening relationship with Microsoft, Stuut is uniquely positioned to harness our ecosystem to address complex and evolving challenges with unmatched speed and precision.”
“Ultimately, this partnership reflects growing enterprise trust in AI-native automation. AI should not give finance teams another dashboard to manage. It should automate 100% of the work for your Tier 3 customers, freeing teams to focus on higher-value, more complex accounts,” said Tarek Alaruri, co-founder and CEO of Stuut. “M12’s investment is powerful validation, but the bigger unlock is distribution. The Microsoft Marketplace gives enterprises a faster way to put autonomous order-to-cash inside the systems and procurement motions they already use.”
