CRN covered Alternative Payments’ acquisition of Delmar Insights with exclusive reporting on the company’s tripling growth trajectory, positioning the deal as a strategic evolution that addresses a critical gap in the MSP technology stack. The channel-focused publication emphasized how the acquisition transforms Alternative Payments from a payments automation platform into the first comprehensive financial operating system specifically built for the managed services provider market. The CRN coverage highlighted the significance of combining Alternative Payments’ proven automation workflows with Delmar Insights’ purpose-built analytics engine, noting that MSPs have long struggled with fragmented systems that separate payment processing from the operational intelligence needed to drive strategic decisions about cash flow, client profitability, and business performance.
The exclusive CRN piece detailed how the acquisition enables Alternative Payments to deliver real-time AI-driven decision-making capabilities that extend beyond basic payment automation. The publication emphasized the company’s growth momentum and market validation, noting that Alternative Payments has established itself as the leading payments platform in the MSP channel through deep integrations with core PSA systems like ConnectWise, Autotask, Halo PSA, and SuperOps, combined with the broadest accounting platform coverage in the industry. The coverage positioned the Delmar Insights integration as a natural progression for a company that has already helped hundreds of MSPs professionalize their financial operations, with the combined platform now enabling service providers to automate receivables and payables while simultaneously analyzing customer behavior, cash flow trends, and performance benchmarks that drive profitable growth and prepare businesses for scale or acquisition.
