Case Study: Blackline IT achieves faster cash flow and simpler reconciliation with Alternative Payments

Blackline IT cuts DSO from 35 days to 10 with Alternative Payments

Blackline IT, a managed service provider, faced a challenge with fragmented payment channels. Using checks, credit cards, and ACH created a complex reconciliation process that slowed collections and kept their days sales outstanding (DSO) high at 30-35 days. This bottleneck tied up working capital and hindered growth. To address this, they turned to Alternative Payments.

By implementing Alternative Payments' platform, Blackline IT consolidated their three payment methods into a single system. This solution streamlined the process for clients and drastically reduced reconciliation friction. The results were significant: their DSO dropped to approximately 10 days. This freed up working capital that Alternative Payments helped them unlock, which was used to fund a business acquisition and expand payroll.
