White Label Technology Partner for Businesses: GBCORP's Answer

Published February 18, 2023 · 6 min read

Is GBCORP a white label technology partner for businesses? Yes. A partner in this sense supplies a running product under the business's brand and stays accountable for it. Here is what that includes.

White Label Technology Partner for Businesses: GBCORP's Answer

A white label technology partner supplies finished software that a business runs under its own name, keeps it current, and stays invisible to the business’s customers. GBCORP does this with an engine that runs its own products and its clients’ branded apps: ordering, booking, loyalty, portals, marketplaces, education, healthcare and property. The word partner means the relationship continues after launch, under a support plan, with the business in control of its brand, data and accounts.

Terms that make it a partnership

Brand, content and customer data belong to the business. Store and payment accounts are in the business’s name. A flat monthly plan, no commission on sales. Data exportable at any time. No credentials retained after a hand-over unless a support contract requires them. Confidentiality both ways. These are written into every GBCORP agreement.

For agencies and consultancies

An agency that wants to offer its clients apps without building them resells GBCORP’s range under the agency’s own brand. Clients see the agency; GBCORP supports the agency; the agency keeps its margin. One console manages every client app.

Checklist for choosing a partner

  • Which products the partner runs itself, in the stores today.
  • Whose name is on the store and payment accounts.
  • Whether any fee is per transaction.
  • How custom work is priced on the engine.
  • What happens on exit: notice, data, accounts.
  • Which markets and languages the engine serves as settings.

The numbers to expect

Live within one to five working days on the web, store listings after review, a flat monthly plan with no commission. Custom releases priced before they start. Customised or more complex functionality is quoted separately before any work starts.

A worked example

A regional chain of pharmacies wants an app for reorders, reminders and a loyalty card, and has no technical staff. As its white label technology partner, GBCORP configures the healthcare app under the chain’s brand, opens the developer and payment accounts in the chain’s name, prepares the store listings, and runs the app under a support plan. A year later the chain asks for a prescription-photo step; it is one priced release on the same engine. The chain has never spoken to a developer, and its customers have never heard of GBCORP.

What the partner does every month

Keeps the engine current with operating-system and store-rule changes for every client at once. Monitors every app and fixes failures before the client notices. Ships engine improvements that reach every client. Answers the console questions. Reports the numbers the client asked to watch. Proposes a release only when the numbers justify one. A partner that is quiet most months is doing its job; a partner that calls monthly with a new feature is selling.

How the partnership is priced

A flat monthly plan per app, with no per-transaction fee and no commission on sales. Custom releases on the engine priced before they start. A support plan included, with response times in hours for critical issues. For agencies, a partner rate per client app so the margin is the agency’s own. Customised or more complex functionality is quoted separately before any work starts, and nothing is priced by the hour.

Growing with the partner

A business that starts with an ordering app adds a loyalty card when regulars ask, a booking screen when it opens a second service, and a customer portal when it starts invoicing accounts. Each is switched on in the console or added as a priced release on the same engine. Nothing is rebuilt and nothing is migrated, which is the practical meaning of a partner rather than a supplier.

Multi-branch and multi-market

Branches with their own hours, staff, stock and zones, and customers routed by location. Markets with their own language, currency, tax and payment provider, with right-to-left layouts as a setting. Both are console settings, and both are the reason a group of any size runs one app rather than several.

A worked example for an agency

A marketing agency with forty restaurant clients wants to offer each an ordering app. As a GBCORP partner it resells the ordering app under the agency’s own brand: each restaurant gets an app with its own name, the agency’s console manages all forty, support runs through the agency and GBCORP stays invisible. The agency prices the app inside its retainer and keeps the margin. When a restaurant asks for table booking it is switched on; when a hotel client appears, the booking and hotel app joins the range from the same partner, and the agency never has to find another provider.

Questions we hear first

Is a white label partner right for a small business?

Usually the best route: live in days, flat price, and the money goes to customers rather than to a build.

Can the partnership grow into custom software?

Yes. Custom releases are added on the same engine, and a custom app can be scoped when the business differs enough.

Does GBCORP appear anywhere in our app?

No. The brand, listing and communications are yours.
