Continia Document Capture and Yooz compared for AP automation with Business Central: architecture, capture approach, workflows and typical fit.
Continia Document Capture and Yooz both automate the journey from supplier invoice to posted document, but they represent two different philosophies. Continia lives inside Business Central, while Yooz is a standalone cloud platform that connects to many ERPs. The comparison comes up especially often in France, where Yooz has a strong footprint and Continia is one of the most widely used options in the BC channel.
Continia Document Capture is a BC-native ISV solution: it installs as an extension and the whole flow, from OCR capture to approval, happens inside Business Central. Capture is primarily template-based, refined per supplier over time. It is a mature product, widely deployed through the BC partner network.
Yooz is a cloud AP automation platform with a particularly strong presence in the French market. It uses AI-assisted capture and provides its own web interface for registration and approvals, connecting to Business Central and many other ERPs through connectors. It suits organisations that want one AP tool across systems.
| Criterion | Continia Document Capture | Yooz |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Extension running inside Business Central | Standalone cloud platform connected to BC via a connector |
| Capture approach | Primarily template-based OCR, tuned per supplier | AI-assisted extraction with less template maintenance |
| Where users work | Inside the familiar BC client, no separate portal | In the Yooz web and mobile interface, also usable by people outside the ERP |
| ERP scope | Business Central and the NAV heritage | Many ERPs through connectors, useful in mixed system landscapes |
| Approval workflows | Workflows integrated with BC roles and documents | Workflows carried by the Yooz platform, independent of the ERP |
| Market footprint | Widely used across the BC partner channel internationally | Strong footprint in France and among multi-ERP organisations |
| Implementation | Typically delivered by your BC partner | Typically guided by the vendor's onboarding, alongside your integrator |
Continia tends to be the natural choice when Business Central is your only ERP and you want AP automation to feel like part of the ERP. Yooz tends to fit organisations with several systems, a strong French base, or a preference for a dedicated AP platform outside the ERP. Both are established products; the decision is mostly architectural.
Zentriq also offers document capture for Business Central, with a different bet: AI-based extraction with no templates to set up or maintain, feeding directly into BC. It is a younger and narrower product than either of the two above, so treat it as a lightweight alternative to evaluate rather than a like-for-like replacement.
