For years, MSPs and B2B services companies have been held back by disconnected systems across payments, finance, operations, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Payments and analytics have long operated as standalone functions.
With the acquisition of Delmar Insights, Alternative Payments is changing that. Together, the two companies are delivering the industry’s first AI-powered Payments and Intelligence Platform, uniting payments automation, business intelligence, and analytics to help businesses operate smarter, get paid faster, and grow more profitably.
Historical Gap Between Payments and Profitability
Until now, MSPs and other B2B services companies have managed payment automation and financial intelligence independently. The lack of integration between these functions drives limited visibility, slowed reconciliation, and eroded margins.
This fragmentation is a key driver of financial inefficiency, lower margins and lower enterprise value. Data is disorganized, strategic decisions are based on guesswork, and the lack of a single source of truth fundamentally limits the business’s ability to scale or attract top-tier acquisition multiples.
Today Marks the Beginning of a Unified Future
The future of finance demands a singular system where payments and profitability are unified. The fragmentation crisis proves that this cannot be solved by simply bolting another dashboard onto the checkout flow.
The solution requires a single, end-to-end platform that elevates the transactional act of getting paid into a strategic advantage. It demands a system that is:
- Integrated by Default: Eliminating manual data entry between the accounting software, ERP, PSA and payment processors.
- Intelligent by Design: Using real-time cash flow data to inform high-level business decisions like pricing and service mix.
- Proactive, Not Reactive: Leveraging AI to identify revenue leakage and profit opportunities before they impact the bottom line.
These modules are foundational to businesses and the vision behind the decision: Alternative Payments has acquired Delmar Insights to deliver the industry’s first AI-Powered Payments and Intelligence Platform.
Closing the Gap: Alternative Payments + Delmar Insights
Unifying payments and data delivers a combined platform that serves both operational and executive requirements. Here is the breakdown of what each component contributes and what the synergy means for your business.
The Alternative Payments Engine (Cash Flow Automation)
At the core of this unified platform, Alternative Payments serves as a high-efficiency financial operating system that automates the accounts receivable process and accelerates cash flow. Every transaction feeds clean, accurate, and real-time data into your intelligence engine.
Our platform is engineered to deliver accelerated collections and reconciliation across your accounting systems and existing PSAs. This automation drastically reduces manual workload and is proven to help customers get paid faster, directly reducing your Days Sales Outstanding (DSO). Furthermore, we eliminate confusing payment processing rates with flat-rate fee structures and automated fee pass-through options, giving you clear, predictable insight into transaction costs and providing a modern client experience via a streamlined, white-labeled payment portal.
The Delmar Insights Compass (Strategic Intelligence)
Delmar Insights is the strategic intelligence layer that transforms financial and operational data into lasting, profitable growth. It replaces fragmented reporting and disconnected analytics with a unified source for financial intelligence. This enables teams to move beyond high-level P&Ls and gain precise visibility into client and service profitability, empowering them to optimize pricing, renegotiate contracts, and strengthen margins with confidence.
The platform also delivers operational and strategic intelligence, from time management analysis to service delivery performance, ensuring decisions are backed by accurate financial data. It structures and cleans operational and financial records to support valuation modeling, due diligence, and exit planning, while providing competitive context through anonymized industry benchmarking to identify new growth opportunities.
The Result: AI-Powered Financial Intelligence
The ultimate power of this union now lies in the new AI-Powered Payments and Intelligence Platform.
These AI capabilities are only possible because we have successfully united payments data with operational and financial data in a single, clean repository. This synergy creates visionary, proactive workflows that fundamentally change how you manage risk and opportunity.
The platform’s AI can instantly detect anomalies, leading to proactive financial leakage identification. For instance, flagging a project being under-billed based on technician time, or spotting client payment delay patterns that impact cash flow. This intelligence allows for optimized pricing and incentive models where the engine analyzes client behavior and profitability, then recommends financially favorable actions, such as incentivizing clients toward lower-cost ACH payments, maximizing your net profit per service.
This unification delivers the strategic knowledge you need to transform reactive financial management into proactive growth planning. The future of MSP and B2B finance is now a single, integrated, and intelligent workflow.
