Yahoo Finance covered Alternative Payments’ acquisition of Delmar Insights, highlighting how the move positions the company as the first platform to unite payments automation with AI-driven business intelligence specifically designed for B2B services companies. The financial publication emphasized the strategic significance of combining Alternative Payments’ proven automation workflows with Delmar Insights’ advanced analytics engine, creating what represents a fundamental shift in how service businesses approach financial operations. The coverage positioned the acquisition within the broader context of fintech innovation for underserved verticals, noting that B2B services companies can now access real-time operational and financial trend analysis within the same platform that processes their receivables and payables—eliminating the fragmentation that has long characterized finance operations for MSPs and similar businesses.
The Yahoo Finance piece underscored the technical capabilities unlocked by the acquisition, particularly the ability to combine payments data with operational metrics to deliver AI-driven insights that proactively identify opportunities and anticipate challenges before they impact cash flow. The coverage highlighted statements from both Baxter Lanius and Danny O’Hanley that emphasized the platform’s role in bringing financial innovation to industries historically overlooked by traditional fintech solutions. Yahoo Finance positioned the acquisition as evidence of Alternative Payments’ evolution from a payments automation provider into what the company describes as “the financial operating system for B2B services companies,” with the integration enabling customers to maintain the 40-50% faster payment processing they’ve come to expect while gaining new visibility into customer behavior, performance benchmarking, and strategic decision-making capabilities that strengthen operations and improve margins.
