EMV L3 Testing

“Working on the PayShap playbook and launch campaign was an intense high-pressure exercise with really tight deadlines. This was a game changer and first for South Africa. Working with iCombine and in particular Danielle Shein who headed up the exercise made it all possible. With an extreme focus on details and tight control of deliverables and timelines Danielle and her iCombine team not only project managed an extremely complex project she really “got” the complexities of the township kasi economy and the nature of the cash informal economy that PayShap was to address to a large part. The combination of an understanding of this informal economy and detailed project management was the key factor in a successful launch (not to mention the long weekends and late nights as deadlines approached). I am pretty confident to say that this project would not have been delivered in time and as well without Danielle and iCombine working with Kasinomics.”

“Ama-KonekXin had the absolute pleasure of working with the iCombine Team on a rapid payments programme, PayShap, developed as part of the SA Reserve Banks vision to simplify and make real time payments affordable and efficient.

As the lead agency on an extremely complex and industry first, Danielle and her Team were tasked with managing a 360 solution across 7 agencies and key banking institutions in South Africa. This SA first included in-depth market research which formed the basis of the Industry Playbook and followed on with the roll out across OOH, Community Radio, Social Media, F2F Activations and a Website all supported by PR.

Danielle has an incredible ability to “combine” and pull a team together, extracting nothing but the best in short periods of time and under enormous pressure. iCombine managed to pull off in 4 months what other agencies said they could only think about in 12! All while ensuring minute attention to detail, continuous sense checking re: output and end deliverables coupled with her ability to divide and conquer world class commercials from a cast in stone budget.

Despite the ongoing go live date changes Danielle showed agility and the ability to adapt to meet with superior end-results. She continued to keep the Team focused and motivated to excel throughout a process that had no previous best-case practices or benchmarks.

An incredible leader and an inspiration to work with!

I would go into battle with Danielle and the iCombine Team any and every day!”

“As a development manager, I have encountered numerous stakeholders assigned to roles that may not align with the necessary requirements for seamless project execution but upon engaging with several resources from iCombine, I was truly impressed by their commitment to staying present, eagerness to assist consistently, and their persistent drive to overcome challenges. I extend my sincere appreciation to the iCombine team for their invaluable contributions, ranging from gathering requirements to improving our financial situations that emerged throughout the project. Their substantial involvement throughout the entire process, from alpha to omega, has been instrumental, and we are truly grateful for their exceptional support.

Kudos to the iCombine team, your dedication has truly exceeded our expectations.”

As the Co-CEO of Clockwork, I’m delighted to provide a glowing recommendation for our esteemed consulting partners at iCombine. Our collaboration with iCombine in launching the Payshap brand in 2023 stands as a testament to their exceptional expertise, professionalism and unwavering commitment to launching the brand in time. Despite the tight timelines and high-pressure environment surrounding the launch of Payshap, they exhibited remarkable poise and leadership, effectively steering the project towards its objectives. I look forward to partnering with iCombine on numerous brand launches in the future.

We recently had the pleasure of working with iCombine on a highly complex payment application debugging project for a new payment terminal. Despite the daunting challenge of coordination efforts across three different time zones, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, adaptability and expertise within the L3 testing and certification domain. The seamless collaboration and effective communication facilitated by iCombine were instrumental in the project's success, making them a valuable partner.

I have had the opportunity to work with iCombine on multiple projects within the payment and mobile payments sector. I am delighted to provide a glowing testimonial for our esteemed business partner who has demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication in developing and implementing a payment strategy involving multiple vendors and stakeholders. Their strategic approach, diligence, and effective communication have been instrumental in achieving a successful outcome for our organization.

Our partner’s ability to navigate complex relationships, negotiate favourable terms, and ensure seamless coordination among all parties involved has truly set them apart. Their commitment to excellence, problem-solving mindset, and initiative-taking attitude have been invaluable throughout the entire process.

Backed by years of experience and an extraordinarily strong understanding of the payment market space and embracing leading-edge technology and solutions in the sector, ensured a sustainable product set and support model delivered by iCombine for the business.

Thanks to their expertise and leadership, we have not only streamlined our payment technology processes but also strengthened our relationships with vendors and stakeholders. I enjoyed my XLink working relationship with iCombine, and we currently continue working jointly on solutions and partnerships in this ever-evolving technology sector.

I have full confidence in recommending our business partner for their outstanding contribution to our success, and I look forward to continued collaboration and growth toge
