The Paypers covered Alternative Payments’ acquisition of Delmar Insights within the context of broader fintech industry trends toward consolidating automation and analytics capabilities into unified systems, positioning the move as part of Alternative Payments’ strategic plan to integrate intelligence capabilities into its payments infrastructure for B2B services. The European payments industry publication emphasized how the integration connects Delmar Insights’ benchmarking and analytics technology with Alternative Payments’ existing automation tools to establish an end-to-end financial system that merges payments processing with real-time analytics and AI-based decision tools. The coverage highlighted industry observers’ view that such integrations are increasingly being adopted by companies seeking efficiency gains through the combination of AI, data intelligence, and transaction management—representing a shift in how fintech platforms approach the intersection of payments and operational intelligence.
The Paypers piece detailed how the new system will support data-driven financial operations by allowing firms to automate transactions while simultaneously monitoring performance, profitability, and sector trends, noting that combining the two platforms enables more predictive forms of automation by linking financial and operational data. The publication featured perspectives from both Alternative Payments and Delmar Insights representatives, emphasizing that the partnership brings AI-driven insights to B2B sectors that have historically had limited access to advanced financial technologies while addressing the growing need for integrated tools that enhance financial visibility and operational control. The coverage noted that Alternative Payments’ platform already supports payments, receivables, payables, embedded financing, and ERP integrations, with the addition of Delmar Insights’ analytics functions expected to extend these capabilities by providing users with real-time data that supports both operational and strategic decision-making through AI-assisted analysis that helps companies identify potential challenges and take preemptive action.
