Software developers need a simple way to integrate payment processing capabilities into the software applications they create for their clients, and Celero is rising to the occasion. We’re excited to introduce the newest addition to our selection of fintech solutions, Celero Core. 

We’re Obsessed with FinTech, So You Don't Have To Be

Software developers don’t have all day to think about the fintech aspects of the applications they design. That’s why we created Celero Core, a powerful program that provides software developers and the businesses they serve with all the tools needed to start accepting digital payments with ease. Instead of spending time worrying about fintech, you can refocus your efforts on what you do best: designing software that wows your clients. 

The Three P’s of Celero Core 

We designed this program to fuse three important pillars of business success: power, payments, and people. Let’s discuss the three P’s of Celero Core.

Power

Our powerful stack technology gives software developers access to a wide range of fintech solutions that they can incorporate into the software they create.

With Celero Core, you’ll gain access to our ever-growing selection of solutions that can be seamlessly integrated into the software you create. Your clients will love how user-friendly and customizable our payment solutions are. 

People

Here at Celero, we understand that a fintech provider is only as good as the customer support team behind it. We offer comprehensive technical and business development support to help our valued customers maximize their earnings, find solutions to real-world problems, and achieve measurable growth.

The Michael P. Duffy Leadership Award is the highest accolade an employee can receive at Celero Commerce. Guided by peer nominations, our leadership team names a quarterly winner who exemplifies Michael Duffy’s legacy of servant leadership. The Super Duffy, which is awarded just once per year, is an extra special distinction given to someone who performs at the most elite level. Given that Celero has the best team in fintech, it’s fair to say that this award is reserved for some of the best leaders in the entire industry.

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce the 2021 Super Duffy Award Winner: Ashley Faszczuk, Director of Project Management.

Since joining Celero in February 2021, Ashley Faszczuk has made a tremendous impact on Celero. She immediately stepped in with our Analytics and Engineering teams, structuring their work to increase throughput and limit concurrent projects. She quickly came up to speed on the numerous initiatives being worked on throughout the organization, and has taken ownership of our Project Management Organization and Project Committees, ensuring that stakeholders are well-informed with updates on current projects and data critical to decision-making.

“In less than one year, Ashley has managed to leave a lasting impact on our organization,” said Charlie Berard, Chief Technology Officer. “She embodies all the characteristics of a Super Duffy award winner. She’s smart, fearless, optimistic, and a natural leader. Any team would be unstoppable with Ashley on it.” 

Ashley takes charge in meetings. There's always a clear agenda, documented ownership, and due dates for follow-up items. Her meeting notes are the stuff of legend at Celero. Yet, where Ashley's impact is felt the most is as a culture carrier. She has a gift for making her colleagues feel truly seen and heard, and her eternal optimism and energy are infectious. We could not be prouder to have her as our 2021 Super Duffy winner.

Previous winners of the Duffy Award this year were Kim Henley, Marcia Ortez, Jake Speltz, and Robert Davis. Ashley also follows in the tradition of last year’s Super Duffy Award winner, Vice President of Marketing Lea Telonis. The Duffy Award is 100% peer-nominated and driven, recognizing those who exemplify the Michael Duffy tradition of respect, excellence, open and honest communication, and performance.

“As a professional mentor to many at Celero early in our careers, including myself, Mike Duffy laid the foundation for the team-oriented, performance-driven company culture that we have today,” said CEO Kevin Jones. “The Super Duffy Award is given to those with the potential to make that same impact, shaping careers, companies, and even whole industries. I see that potential in Ashley, and can’t wait to see what her future looks like at Celero.”

Ashley will join her fellow 2021 Duffy Award recipients at Celero’s second annual Duffy Leadership Summit, scheduled for 2022 at our Nashville headquarters. The next Duffy Award winner will be named in the spring.

The Celero Commerce executive team created the Duffy Leadership Award in honor of the late great Michael P. Duffy, innovative fintech leader and early career mentor to many at Celero. This peer-driven award celebrates those who exemplify core Duffy values, such as performance, respect, and humility. We’re excited to announce the 2021 fourth quarter recipient of this award: Senior Technical Support Engineer, Robert Davis.

Robert is a true culture carrier who displays selflessness and an eagerness to help others daily, even when working remotely in Texas. He embodies the Duffy spirit by not only delivering high performance, but always doing so with genuine care. Robert even volunteered to help train a new hire in Tech Support by inviting them over to his home office for the first couple of weeks to work side-by-side. 

“Robert’s willingness to collaborate with the team on an array of service types makes him an exceptional Senior Tech,” said Jorge Torres, Senior Vice President of Operations. “He frequently takes it upon himself to learn new products and technologies, and is always first to share his knowledge with the rest of the team.”

Since starting at Celero last year, Robert has been eager to help out anywhere he can. He has an expert understanding of terminals, gateways, and point-of-sale systems, to name a few technologies. Robert takes pride in helping our merchant and financial institution partners, always doing so with a warm greeting and positive disposition. He has also helped us recruit other outstanding employees to work at Celero.  

“Robert leads with the core Duffy value of servant leadership,” said CEO Kevin Jones. “Despite being states away from his teammates, Robert really encourages a culture of collaboration and mutual support.”

The Michael P. Duffy Leadership Award is based entirely on peer nominations. It is awarded to those who go above and beyond for their teammates, performing at an elite level while exhibiting core company values like selflessness and teamwork. 

Robert will join his fellow cohort of 2021 Duffy Award winners at the second annual Duffy Leadership Summit in 2022. This multi-day event is a celebration of top performers at Celero and an opportunity to discuss important issues. It brings together the top 10 percent of performers across all departments, plus all 2021 Duffy Award recipients. We wouldn’t be surprised to see a special guest speaker show up, or perhaps some signature Nashville entertainment.

Robert Davis will receive a commemorative Duffy Award plaque, following in the tradition of 2020 winners Nicole Becher, Abigail Lucier, Karo Torosyan, Spencer Ellis, Kristia Poppe, and Lea Telonis, and fellow 2021 winners Kim Henley, Marcia Ortez, Jake Speltz, and Ashley Faszczuk. The next Duffy Award winner will be announced in spring of 2022.

One of the toughest, yet most emotionally rewarding, jobs is running a funeral home. Day in and day out, you’re working with mourning families who are dealing with the hardest times of their lives. Each move you make has the potential to either provide immense relief or further hardship to a grieving family member, so it’s vitally important to optimize the way you run your business and interact with your clients. 

CRäKN makes providing your clients with careful, caring, and compassionate service a simple process. Let’s explore the incredible features of this software and how it will help you better run your organization. 

Track Contacts

The modern display makes keeping track of the families you work hard to serve both simple and stress-free. 

Manage Your Cases

If you have a number of cases open at once, things can get complicated very quickly, so it’s important to have an effective way of tracking cases and to-do items. This incredible software allows you to access all of your case information from any device you utilize for your business. You can easily pull up the history of each case, information regarding loved ones, and so much more. 

Communicate With Your Team

Sometimes, the toughest part of running a business is getting your employees all on the same page. Fortunately, CRäKN makes this usually complicated process as easy as 1, 2, 3. Through the easy-to-use dashboard, you and your team members can communicate with each other about planned activities, key details, missing action items, and whatever else you need in order to create the healing services your clients deserve. 

Collect Feedback From Clients 

Your work doesn’t end once a funeral service is held: It ends once you receive, analyze, and absorb feedback from the family members. With a simple click of a button, you can close a case and automatically send a survey to the family members you’ve been helping. Imagine a world wherein a single step, you can request in-depth feedback from clients that will help to improve your customer service, offerings, and the efficiency of your team.

Without the right software solution, invoicing, billing, and internal records keeping can be a real hassle. Many funeral homes are bogged down in these details, which leaves less time for focusing on building meaningful relationships with clients. Fortunately, this program will pair with your current accounting system and simplify your operations like never before. Recording, tracking, and reporting your revenues and expenses has never been easier.

The pandemic has taken a toll on small to mid-sized businesses across the country. At Celero, we want your business to succeed and reach its full potential. We’ve been consistently in search of solutions for companies, to help them survive what is still a difficult time for many. 

While the Payment Protection Program (PPP)  funds have been depleted, Celero has paired with Adesso Capital to provide real solutions for small businesses. We are excited to provide companies with the expanded Employment Retention Credit (ERC). 

What is the ERC Program

The ERC was created as a federal incentive to keep employees on the payroll. Your business could qualify for up to $26,000 per W2 employee, with the opportunity for an additional $7,000 by the end of the year. 

Even if you’ve received PPP funding, your company can still take advantage of this incredible opportunity. Another advantage to this program is that the money you receive is not a loan. Meaning, you can decide how to use the money to help your business grow. 

Who Is Eligible

Employers are eligible to receive the credit if they have experienced the full or partial suspension of the operation of their trade or business during any calendar quarter due to governmental orders limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings due to COVID-19, or a significant decline in gross receipts. 

We’ve partnered with Addesso Capital to make the filing process simple and easy. Not only will Adesso Capital handle the processing of your tax credit, the company will also maximize the money you receive. 

How the ERC Helps Small Businesses

The ERC is a great option to help small businesses find more solid footing and we're excited to help you along the way. Small businesses have been hit hard, not only in terms of their revenue, but also in their ability to compete with larger companies for talented employees.  The new tax credit offered by the government enables small businesses to pay competitive wages and attract and retain great employees. 

Celero and our partners are here to help small businesses stand strong within a competitive market. The ERC is a vital resource for our small businesses to survive and grow. 

Contact us today to learn more about the ERC program for Celero merchants, powered by Adesso Capital.
