Hypercom and Nelcela Reduce Cost
Hypercom’s HyperWare Developers’ Toolkit (HDT) is helping Nelcela, Inc., a leading software developer for the electronics payment industry, cut development cycle times by nearly 50% and reduce development costs.
Nelcela is using Hypercom’s HDT as the primary application development tool for integrating stored-value applications onto existing Hypercom-based electronic payment processing applications. Nelcela’s customers include bank processors, large merchants and new ventures seeking customized applications.
Hypercom’s HDT gives value-added resellers (VARs) the ability to quickly develop value-added applications or customize the functionality of Hypercom’s ICE family of card payment terminals and Web appliances.
“Hypercom’s HDT has enabled us to cut our development time in almost half,” said Alec Dollarhide, vice president of engineering, Nelcela. “We can now seamlessly create or enhance existing debit and credit card products with new stored-value gift, phone and loyalty applications much more rapidly, improving our delivery times and reducing our costs.”
Kathy Crumley, vice president, VAR Relations, Hypercom Corporation, said, “With Hypercom’s HDT, VARs like Nelcela gain greater control over the application development process and improved flexibility in designing functionality to fit a merchant’s unique requirements.”
Applications developed using HDT range from managing Web storefronts to placing orders with suppliers, tracking shipments, and processing credit applications. HDT-based applications are portable across the Hypercom ICE family of card payment appliances.
Nelcela software is designed to facilitate merchant electronic authorization and data capture, Internet commerce, clearing, settlement and exception processing and risk management. For more information visit www.nelcela.com.
