Fastlane simplifies every friction point in D365 F&O - fewer clicks, fewer errors, and smarter workflows. Upload journals, attach documents, manage orders, and integrate systems - all through focused, ready-to-use apps built on our unified API layer.
Fastlane Architecture
A productized Microsoft-native architecture deployed in Azure that scales effortlessly across business units, customers, and regions - reducing redesign, complexity, and cost
API-first, App-based UX, Zero core modification
What You Get with Fastlane
Fastlane isn't a connector marketplace or a black-box iPaaS. It's a tenant-owned API architecture that lives entirely inside your Microsoft environment.
You're investing in infrastructure that grows with your business, not a third-party platform you'll outgrow or get locked into.
| Feature / Benefit | What You Get | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft-native architecture | A single, unified API layer built entirely on native Microsoft services | Standardizes integrations across the enterprise without introducing third-party platforms |
| Multi-tenant ready | Built-in support for multi-tenant architectures | One platform that scales across business units, customers, or regions without redesign |
| On-Behalf-Of (OBO) flow | Native support for delegated user identity and permissions | Secure, least-privilege access that respects user context and enterprise security models |
| Front-End Freedom | Power Apps, React, SPAs, and AI workloads | Teams choose the right UI without backend rewrites or vendor constraints |
| Microsoft-native APIs | Standard Microsoft and D365 APIs | No proprietary APIs, no data lock-in, no surprises |
| Tenant-owned & stateless | Deployed in your tenant with no data access by default | Full control of data, security, and compliance |
| Prototype to Production | Same architecture from early build to enterprise deployment | Faster delivery with no rework or technical debt |
| Centralized governance | Logging, visibility, and policy enforcement in one place | IT maintains oversight without slowing teams down |
Fastlane vs Typical API Vendors
*The safest data is data that never leaves your tenant*
| Feature / Aspect | Fastlane | Typical API Vendor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data Control & Security | All data and credentials stay inside your tenant | Data flows through third-party infrastructure | Reduces security, privacy, and compliance risk. |
| Transparency | Native Microsoft services and standard APIs only | Proprietary connectors and hidden layers | Easier auditing and operational trust |
| Vendor Lock-In | Customer owns the architecture | Locked into vendor infrastructure | Freedom to evolve or exit anytime |
| Integration Model | Unified API layer, consistent and scalable | Point-to-point or normalized proprietary APIs | Cleaner, maintainable enterprise design |
| Compliance & Audit | Governed by your own Azure policies | Reliance on vendor compliance claims | Faster regulatory approval |
| Data Residency | Fully tenant-contained | Possible vendor logging or caching | No third-party data exposure |
| Extensibility | Add endpoints and logic directly | Limited to vendor roadmap | Adapts to business change |
| Support Model | Ongoing partnership and guidance | Tool-level support only | Reduces risk when developers leave |
iPaaS vs Internal dev vs Partners vs Fastlane
| Option | Cost Model | Time to Value | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Internal team | $8k-$15k+ / developer / month | Weeks to Months | Hiring skilled developers is slow, expensive, and risky. Teams often rebuild the same backend repeatedly, and knowledge is scattered |
| iPaaS tools | $1k-$5k+ / month | Days to Weeks | Generic platforms with limited Microsoft alignment. Expensive at scale and prone to vendor lock-in |
| Partners | $150-$250 / hour | Weeks to Months | High hourly rates, long delivery cycles, and ongoing dependency on external teams. |
| Fastlane | Productized Microsoft-native architecture | Hours to Days (typical use cases) | Microsoft-first, D365 F&O focused. Collaborative, tenant-installed, fully governed. No black boxes, no platform lock-in, and enterprise-scale logic is reusable |
Limitations of Virtual Entities and Standard Connectors
They are tightly coupled to the Power Platform and don't work for React or other frontends
Fastlane enables enterprise-wide integration and governance through a centralized API layer, working seamlessly across Power Platform, React, AI, and more.
Enterprise Security - 100% Under Your Control
For production deployment, Fastlane is deployed into your tenant. All apps, workflows, and automations run entirely under your control.
Leverage your existing Microsoft enterprise security while accelerating development and integrations.
*The safest data is data that never leaves your tenant*
Extend D365 F&O
Most teams think extending D365 means heavy configuration, costly ISVs, or risky X++ customizations.
Fastlane lets you extend D365 safely with Power Apps or React:
Stop waiting on development cycles. Deliver value your way.
M&A Integration
Fastlane turns D365 F&O into the digital core of your roll-up strategy:
Execution drives value, not spreadsheets. Fastlane gives your M&A strategy a platform to succeed.
Building Enterprise Apps on Microsoft
Nothing improves EBITDA faster than eliminating operational waste with custom software. For years, custom software was out of reach. That world is gone.
The bottleneck isn't execution anymore, it's imagination. Build enterprise apps by the people closest to the problems.
Finance Automation
Off-the-shelf finance software rarely fits real workflows.
With Fastlane and Power Apps, finance teams can quickly build custom apps, automations, reports, and collaboration tools, tailored to their processes and delivered faster than buying another SaaS product.
Create the tools you need and run your own internal app store for finance.
Enterprise AI Architecture
Fastlane sits on top as a unified API and business service layer, exposing governed actions instead of raw data.
AI agents, Copilot extensions, Power Apps and React SPA authenticate using Microsoft Entra ID and invoke APIs.
This separation is what makes AI safe to scale.
