Key Challenges Faced by Intellforce
-
Complexity and Cost of Payment Infrastructure: Managing an in-house payments platform, Intellforce struggled with the complexity of multiple acquiring connections. The diverse array of payment providers introduced inconsistency and rising operational costs, making managing increasingly tricky and time-consuming.
-
Slower Speed of Innovation: Keeping pace with market demands, such as integrating Apple Pay and Google Pay, proved challenging. This complexity delayed delivering new features to customers, hindering the company’s competitive edge.
-
Shifting Compliance Landscape: The rapid evolution of secure payment requirements, including Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) and PCI standards, created a continual challenge for Intellforce. Complying with these regulations diverted critical resources and focus from their core business operations.
-
Centralised Reporting and Risk Management: The fragmented management of multiple providers limited visibility into fraud alerts and disputes, complicating risk management efforts across the organisation.
-
Distraction from Core Business Functions: Intellforce’s primary focus is enhancing its customer experience and subscription offerings, yet maintaining a payment platform diverts essential resources and attention
