Creditsafe wins 2025 ROI award after 234% boost from BlackLine
Creditsafe, a company focused on business intelligence, received this recognition following the implementation of BlackLine's Invoice-to-Cash solution, which led to a 234% return on investment and a payback period of 12.4 months.
According to Nucleus Research, the annual ROI awards are presented to the top ten technology deployments worldwide that demonstrate exceptional and quantifiable return on investment. Creditsafe's acknowledgement comes as a result of its efforts to automate collections and cash allocation processes, resulting in enhanced efficiency, visibility, and scalability for its international operations.
Andy Lilley, Managing Director, Global Invoice to Cash at BlackLine, commented on the result: "We're proud to see Creditsafe recognized among the top ROI-driven transformations of the year. Their results are a testament to what's possible when forward-thinking finance teams embrace automation to drive measurable impact. BlackLine is here to make that success repeatable, scalable, and achievable for every customer."
As part of its technology adoption, Creditsafe utilised BlackLine's Invoice-to-Cash offerings, specifically the Collections Management and Cash Application functions. This transition led to a measurable reduction in operational costs, a faster cash lifecycle, and improvements in customer experience. Additionally, Creditsafe's finance team was able to support global growth without increasing staff numbers.
BlackLine has stated that these results reflect its ongoing commitment to improving its platform. Most recently, the company introduced a modernised user interface for its Cash Application module, which is now generally available. The update forms part of BlackLine's overall goal to refine the Invoice-to-Cash process, providing customers with a system that is intended to be both intelligent and straightforward to use.
Jason Braidwood, Global Head of Credit & Collections at Creditsafe, shared his experience with the platform: "BlackLine streamlined our order-to-cash processes and freed our team to focus on value-added work. I would advise any credit manager to adopt tools like BlackLine—it truly makes life easier."
The recognition from Nucleus Research highlights BlackLine's position in providing artificial intelligence-enabled solutions that assist finance, accounting, and credit teams in adopting more strategic approaches to their work.

British stocks and bonds look like a bargain
Putting money into an emerging market always carries a frisson of danger. Governments might make sudden, erratic decisions, sending investments plummeting. That risk also makes those assets cheaper, to draw in willing buyers. British assets, too, have started to look cheap in recent years, at least compared with those of other rich countries. Last week's spectacle in the House of Commons, where the Labour government was cowed by its own backbenchers into withdrawing a fairly minor cut to disability benefits, then briefly pummelled by the bond market as a result, helps explain why.

B.C. man arrested after scam sees $500K in City of Hamilton funds sent to fake vendor
A 32-year-old Surrey, B.C., man has been arrested and charged in connection with a cyber scam that prompted half a million dollars in city funds to be sent to a fake vendor, police say. A staff member of a city housing affiliate received an email in March 2024 that appeared legitimate with an "altered banking details for a vendor payment," according to police. The email was received one month after the city was hit with a ransomeware attack in February of that year that disrupted various services and cost the city millions. Police said that incident made an environment "more vulnerable to human error and external manipulation." "Believing the information to be accurate, the staff member processed an electronic funds transfer for over $550,000—an amount far exceeding the actual invoice — into a bank account at a financial institution in Surrey," police said in a news release Wednesday. The city realized the mistake later that month, police said, after the legitimate vendor said no payment was received. Police said they, alongside the city's auditor general and an independent forensic accounting firm, discovered the funds were put into a company account linked to the Surrey man, who "quickly dispersed the funds" into other accounts. Police said through legal action and in collaboration with police in Surrey and Edmonton, they recovered $417,000. "The city sustained a financial loss of over $130,000, in addition to forensic and legal expenses. The city has indicated it will pursue restitution," police said. CBC Hamilton reached out to the city for comment but did not receive a response before publication. Hamilton police public information officer Adam Kimber told CBC Hamilton the "investigation is ongoing into other person(s) who received funds that were the proceeds of this fraud." Police obtained a Canada-wide warrant for the arrest of the man and he turned himself in on July 7 at the central police station in Hamilton, according to Kimber, after they made arrangements with his legal counsel. According to Kimber, the man was charged with: fraud over $5000. possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000. and laundering the proceeds of crime.

French resort's traditional 'donkeys in trousers' absent this summer
They were a common sight on the Île de Ré in summers gone by – but for the first time since 1988, the island's donkeys ' culottes ' (knickers, or an old-fashioned word for trousers) will not parade in and around Saint-Martin-de-Ré. This year, breeder Régis Léau has decided not to take his rare Poiteau donkeys to the island, off the Charente-Maritime coast of France, so the sight of the animals in their traditional red or blue outfits will go unseen this summer. The tradition of donkeys wearing fabric 'trousers' dates back to the 19th century, to protect the animals from the flies and mosquitoes that inhabited the salt marshes where they worked. Advertisement Since 1988, they have been a tourist attraction, offering rides to children. But the 60-year-old Léau has reluctantly decided that summer 2024 would be the last. 'A lot of kids are going to be sad... I'm really upset about it,' he told Le Parisien, putting his decision down to several factors, including finding staff, the shorter summer holiday period and the price of feed. He also cited 'escalating' allegations of animal abuse, which he said was down to 'a lack of u nderstanding of working animals'. Léau said he might be open to the possibility of handing the reins to a younger breeder in future.
