Accelerated Technologies Holding Corp. announced the expansion of its Intelagy operations, completing the company’s initiative of becoming a business hub for small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs). Intelagy is primarily focused on driving traffic and revenue to SMBs in the United States while providing affordable monthly subscription-based solutions that pass the savings to the merchants. The expansion will enable ATHC, via Intelagy, to gain market share while providing unparalleled solutions in the areas of affordable electronic payments; standard, mid and high-risk merchant services; point-of-sale solutions (POS); sustainable alternative funding; digital media; branding; and management for merchants operating in retail, online and mobile environments. To compete for customers, processors heavily rely on independent sales organizations (ISOs) for marketing, sales, operations and, often, for the underwriting of merchant accounts. The ISO is typically a middleman sales organization that absorbs hefty operational costs, which are, in turn, passed on to the merchants. Intelagy intends to disrupt the industry by offering “direct to merchant” monthly subscription services that will enable merchants to save up to an estimated $5,000 per annum. Beyond merchant services, Intelagy intends to arm merchants with local marketing, digital media, funding, analytical tools and unprecedented transparencies to transactional and settlement data. Intelagy will enable small-business owners to compete with online giants and national conglomerates to gain market share. Intelagy will differ from and disrupt the business solution industry by empowering small-business owners to choose from a list of affordable and comprehensive business solution packages. SMBs continue to lose market share to retail and online giants. Intelagy will equip these businesses with affordable, subscription-based payment processing, access to working capital, analytics, easy-to-use reporting dashboards and strategic marketing. Leveraging its expertise in banking, financing, marketing, development, analytics, artificial intelligence and big data, ATHC’s management will provide SMBs with tools previously unobtainable due to cost constraints. ATHC, via Intelagy and other subsidiaries, will leverage its extended database to promote new customer acquisition. This will enable Intelagy to drive revenues and achieve higher margins and lower operational and customer acquisition costs. This will also allow merchants to obtain cost-effective technology and services at affordable rates. To build customer loyalty and offset some of the immediate costs of migration, ATHC, via Intelagy, will reward customers with the ability to drive additional revenue. ATHC intends to bring Intelagy to market on July 23, 2018.
