For homebuilders and other organizations that receive many utility invoices, general ledger coding and processing can be a major drain on time, energy, and resources. With high invoice volumes, complex allocations, manual data entry risks, and siloed information, the process is often inefficient and prone to errors like double payment. The Automated Utility Invoice Coding module, introduced to the market in March 2025, harnesses licensed AI-powered technology to revolutionize utility bill coding with low or no-touch processing. The module automatically identifies the lot number and determines its status (model, spec, or completed) and then assigns accurate coding for utilities like gas, electric, water, HOA, and property tax.

'We have had some great feedback since we introduced the Automated Utility Invoice Coding module during a webinar in March,' said James F. DeSocio, President & CEO at Intellinetics. 'In fact, another new customer told us they are already processing over 15,000 utility invoices a month through the system and over 80% are touchless! That's within 60 days of going live. Every month, the percentage of touchless invoices increases for the customer.'

'Despite the challenges affecting homebuilders, such as tariffs and interest, demand for our Payables Automation solutions continue to grow because our product saves them time and money,' said DeSocio. 'During times of economic uncertainty, investing in process efficiency becomes crucial because it strengthens a company's ability to adapt, reduce costs, and maintain profitability. By streamlining operations and identifying inefficiencies, businesses can become more agile and resilient, better positioning them for taking advantage in the upswing.'

Continued DeSocio, 'As reference accounts grow and share their story that our solutions are cost-effective with a tangible return on investment, particularly in a downturn, we remain confident in our payables automation solution for generating significant SaaS revenue growth.'

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Article content
Intellinetics uses the metric of Total Contract Value as a key performance indicator that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Total Contract Value does not have the effect of excluding, including, or adjusting an otherwise GAAP financial measure, and as such, is not a non-GAAP financial measure.
Article content
Total Contract Value
Article content
: Estimated total future revenues from a particular contracted project. This refers to contracts or projects that have been awarded by our customers, and it presumes the provision of all software, subscription services, and/or professional services, with no termination of any awarded contracts. There can be no guarantee that all work will be completed during any fiscal period, or that the contracts will not be terminated before all the estimated future revenues are earned, received, and/or recognized. Total Contract Value is a performance measure that the Company believes provides useful information to its management and investors as it allows the Company to better track the Company's current sales performance, without any adjustment to exclude revenues that will not be earned, received, or recognized until future periods. Total Contract Value may refer to new sales in any of our revenue categories, including SaaS, perpetual software licenses, maintenance, storage and retrieval, and professional services, to new or existing customers. Total Contract Value is not a substitute for total revenue. There is no GAAP measure that is comparable to Total Contract Value, so the Company has not reconciled the Total Contract Value to any GAAP measure.

Air Canada service to resume Sunday following labour board ruling
Air Canada said it will resume flights on Sunday after the airline and striking Air Canada flight attendants were told to return to their jobs by the federal government, which ordered the company and its workers into binding arbitrations. The Canada Industrial Relations Board directed the company and the workers to resume airline service operations for all Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flights at 2 p.m. ET Sunday after a hearing that ran late into the night Saturday. However, the Montreal-based airline said due to the complete shutdown of service early Saturday, which left crew out of position, its first flights won't take to the skies until Sunday evening, according to a statement from the company. Air Canada warned further flight cancellations will occur over the next week as it resumes normal operations. 'Air Canada expects it will take several days before its operations return to normal. During this process, some flights will be canceled over the next seven to ten days until the schedule is stabilized,' the statement said. Federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu had ordered the parties to resume work and extend the terms of the existing collective agreement until a new one could be determined by an arbitrator. Air Canada, union await decision from federal labour board on flight attendants' return to work A lawyer for the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents flight attendants, had asked the board to delay implementing the minister's order to give it time to seek an injunction from the federal court. The board concluded it did not have authority to review or block the government's decision. As of Saturday evening Air Canada had cancelled 623 flights, impacting more than 100,000 travellers. The company said customers whose flights were cancelled, and who did not travel or accept a refund or credit, will be contacted with new itineraries.

Duty-free shops facing ‘full-blown crisis' with no relief in sight
John Slipp is seen at his closed duty-free store, at the Canada-U.S. border crossing between Woodstock, N.B., and Houlton, Maine, on Thursday, Aug. 14, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Stephen MacGillivray John Slipp took over his father's duty-free store in 1994, which had been started more than a decade earlier. This month, he closed the Woodstock Duty Free Shop Inc. as lower traffic at the U.S.-Canada border dealt the final blow to a business already weakened by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, at 59, Slipp says he will have to find another source of income and is advocating for more government support for stores like his. Fewer Canadians have been heading south in recent months in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war with Canada, his comments about annexing the country and because of fears among travellers about treatment at the border. In the duty-free industry, Slipp said less border traffic directly correlates to fewer sales. 'It was very difficult. The business had many good years. I certainly didn't want to be in the position of calling an end to a business career, giving up, calling it quits, both personally and in terms of my late father,' Slipp said. At the store's peak in the early 2000s, Slipp said there were about 15 people on staff. In March 2020, he said he laid off four people and reopened after the pandemic with two employees. Late in the summer of 2021, Slipp said duty-free stores were 'all starting from zero to rebuild again.' By the end of 2024, his business was still down about one-fifth from where it was in 2019. Then Trump returned to the White House. From January to April this year, things got worse for Slipp's store, and he ultimately decided to close based on declining sales and traffic numbers. 'Just realizing that even after the U.S. administration changes down the road, in our industry, we do not expect the border traffic to change overnight as a result of that. We believe it's going to take years,' he said. Recent figures from Statistics Canada noted that return trips from the U.S. dropped again in July as Canadians continue to shun travel to the U.S. The number of Canadian residents returning from the U.S. by automobile was down 36.9 per cent on an annual basis in July, marking the seventh consecutive month of year-over-year declines. Barbara Barrett, executive director of the Frontier Duty Free Association, said the stores her association represents have been feeling the decline in traffic for months. 'I would describe our industry as being in a full-blown crisis, and we've been saying that for a number of months now,' she said. Sales at duty-free stores have fallen between 40 and 50 per cent year-over-year across the country since late January, with some remote crossings reporting annual declines of up to 80 per cent, the association said. Barrett added that duty-free stores are often a microcosm of what is happening at the border. 'This should be our busy season during the summer, but it is not; it is pandemic-level traffic in the parking lots, and it has led to one store closing in the east. We are unfortunately afraid that we will likely see more closures as we draw to the end of the summer,' she said. Unlike airport stores, which are often owned by international companies, Barrett noted all of the land border stores are independently owned and are often family-run businesses. While Canadians shun U.S. trips, travel expert Claire Newell said many are opting for domestic and other international destinations. 'We live in a country where it's still very expensive to travel domestically. And while there are many people who are choosing to travel within Canada, we also see more people heading to popular destinations,' she said. She said she doesn't see Canadians changing their travel habits back to normal until there is a trade deal 'that feels fair.' As lower border traffic weighs on the industry, Barrett said she is advocating for 'small regulatory changes.' 'We have some taxes on our products that, believe it or not, in a tax- and duty-free industry that our U.S. competitors don't have. So we're asking for those to be changed so we can be more competitive,' she said. 'Also, we're asking to qualify for some of these tariff relief programs or pandemic-level supports along the lines of what they did during the pandemic with wage subsidy or rent subsidy.' Barrett said the government is the landlord for many duty-free stores and said a rent deferral or subsidy would help the industry until travel patterns normalize. She added that there have been conversations between her organization and senior government officials. Barrett said those officials agreed the association was putting forward 'small asks' to support the industry. An Aug. 2 release announcing the Woodstock Duty Free Shop's closure mentioned that the federal and provincial governments had promised tariff relief support programs to help businesses impacted by trade tensions. 'I pinned a lot of hopes on those when both levels of government made those announcements. I was reminded of the pandemic support programs,' Slipp said, adding that his business had benefited from such programs. His attention has now turned to advocating for rent deferral programs for duty-free shops renting land from either the federal government or from a bridge authority as well as loan programs for duty-free stores. When he looks at the future of the industry, he said the prospects 'are not bright.' 'I'm grieving the loss of my business, but I'm also accepting the reality that the business environment has changed and there is nothing in the bag of tricks that would suggest positive changes in this industry in the short to medium term,' Slipp said. 'I'm feeling bad that I was not able to succeed in the end and that I am having to lay to rest this business that my father and I have built and spent so many years working so hard on.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 17, 2025. Daniel Johnson, The Canadian Press

This Toronto man films his walks around the city for YouTube. He makes ‘well over six figures'
Jonathan Hicks better known as "Johnny Strides" is pictured alongside the TORONTO sign by Nathan Phillips Square (Left: Youtube/JohnnyStrides. Right: THE CANADIAN PRESS/Evan Buhler) Jonathan Hicks spends his days walking Toronto streets with a camera. In just six years, he says the work has made him 'well over six figures,' turning a side hustle into a full-time job. The 44-year-old, better known online as Johnny Strides, has built a YouTube channel with over 136,000 subscribers and more than 46 million views, filming daily walking tours throughout the city. His success comes as Toronto's labour market grows more precarious, with some residents turning to unconventional work to supplement traditional jobs. The challenge is even sharper for young people as Ontario's unemployment rate for those aged 15 to 24 recently reached 15.8 per cent in June — roughly double the province's overall rate. 'I was working in insurance... doing a global program underwriting (for) big multinational companies,' Hicks said. 'Just before the pandemic hit, I got recruited by another company to do the same job, basically more money, more vacation — and my YouTube channel was just getting monetized.' He says it wasn't long before that new job quickly turned sour. 'I switched jobs and the new job was basically horrible. I went from a great company working there for five years, to an absolute dumpster fire,' he said. 'At that same time the pandemic hit, my views were going up and I remember one month I made $1,500 just doing it part time.' Looking back, he says 'it was just the perfect storm' to pursue this career full time. An unconventional career switch Hicks launched Johnny Strides in 2018 after buying a GoPro. He says early timelapse videos showing the city gave way to narrated walking tours, often running 30 to 45 minutes. 'I focus mainly on walking, cycling, transit videos and livestreams in the city,' Hicks wrote to his YouTube page. 'There's no shortage of content as I record in all weather conditions... morning, day and night.' He says his income from YouTube now far exceeds what he made in insurance but still admits 'Toronto is stupidly expensive.' 'I do have a rent control apartment, so I consider myself kind of lucky that I'm paying $1,100 a month,' he said. 'In terms of the risk management going full time on YouTube, it wasn't that difficult of a decision... because it's a pretty modest rent.' In Toronto, the average household income sits at $129,000, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation data. While some creators may not earn as much as much as Hicks, experts say many still put in countless hours to support their entrepreneurial gig. A Statistics Canada survey found that most content creators reported being 'de facto entrepreneurs.' While Hicks says he sometimes works 16-hour days, the survey reveals that on average, respondents spend 15.5 hours per week. Walking through snowstorms and burnout The job doesn't just come with ups but also its fair share of challenges. Hicks recalls filming in a blizzard from Yonge and Eglinton to Dufferin, when his waterproof boots failed. 'My feet were just frozen and soaking… it was way below zero,' he said. 'It looks like a disaster zone. Yet I had thousands of viewers tuned in at once. So there was something exhilarating about it at the same time.' It's those exhilarating moments that Jenna Jacobson, a professor at Toronto Metropolitan University says form 'parasocial relationships' with viewers. 'Those videos that are more real, raw and relatable are the ones that often will garner more attention... because it connects to people' she said. She explains that the flipside of that relationship is oftentimes burnout. 'Burnout is very real amongst content creators because there is this constant pressure to be on,' she said. 'Content creators are constantly having to labor at figuring out the best practices to improve their audience engagement. Hicks too acknowledges that it can be difficult to create fresh content. 'I don't want to repackage the same thing over and over again,' he said. 'The good thing is we have four seasons... (and) there's always changes being made.' In his most popular video, he garnered over 2.3 million views featuring a walk with the creator of Tiny Tiny homes Toronto, Ryan Donais. In that instance, both Hicks and Donais walked from the St Lawrence Market over to Yonge and Front Street to preview an early version of the tiny home prototype. 'Enough to keep going' The rise of creators like Hicks mirrors a larger shift in how Torontonians are earning a living. 'The job market is particularly tough right now… unemployment has been increasing in Canada, broadly,' said Obeid Ur Rehman, assistant professor of economics at Toronto Metropolitan University. 'This side hustle sort of concept is very prominent. Having something that's unconventional, that you have some flexibility over is increasing.' Rehman notes that while the work can be rewarding, it comes with risks. 'The platforms and the algorithm — trends change suddenly. As a result, income can decline very suddenly,' he said. Hicks says he's aware of the gamble, but for now, he's sticking with YouTube. 'Not having a boss and working for yourself is pretty awesome,' he said. 'I love the community. That in itself is rewarding enough to keep going.'
