A Chicago consultancy in 2012, a platform company of fifty people in Frisco today.
As The Social Plus, building custom systems for mortgage lenders and community banks.
Design, engineering, payments, marketing and support, all in-house, not subcontracted.
Each one built because a customer needed it and nothing on the market fit.
Which is the part that took the longest and matters the most.
That sentence has been on our wall since the beginning, and it is the whole reason the company exists. Every business we have worked with knew roughly what they wanted. Almost none of them had a path to actually getting it, because the tools did not connect, the vendors did not care, and the integration always cost more than the software.
So we built the connected version. Twelve applications on one shared core, with a services team behind them for the parts software cannot do on its own. Not because a unified platform is a clever market position, but because we spent a decade watching businesses lose money in the gaps between their tools.
Nothing here was planned in a strategy deck. Each product exists because a customer asked for something and the honest answer was that it did not exist yet.
Two people doing IT consulting and custom development, mostly for mortgage banking. The first real client is The Federal Savings Bank, needing a better loan-application flow.
Work with People’s Home Equity deepens the document handling, audit trail and pipeline discipline that still sit underneath Kore CRM today.
The internal tools we kept rebuilding for clients become products: Claritask for projects, Claritick for tickets, Convosio for live chat.
iPaymer and iReview launch after too many clients ask why their processing statement is unreadable and their Google rating is a mystery.
Headquarters relocate to Frisco. The team passes thirty people and the hospitality side of the business grows quickly.
Restaurant operators are the loudest customers, so front-of-house and ordering get built properly rather than bolted on.
The hard project: everything migrated onto a single shared database, so the apps stop being a suite and start being a system.
Because once the data genuinely lives in one place, you can just ask it questions.
We show you the maths. Interchange-plus processing with our margin stated as a number, itemised message usage, and an honest answer when a competitor is a better fit than us.
One shared core took years longer than shipping a suite of loosely connected apps. We did it anyway, because the alternative would have been a worse product with a better launch date.
A restaurant with one location gets the same platform, the same security and the same support as a fourteen-site group. The price scales; the product does not get worse.
We refuse to stand still. If a customer needs something that does not exist, our development team builds it, which is how most of these products started.
Design, engineering, payments, marketing and support all sit within earshot of each other. It is why a fix ships the same week you ask for it.
All based in Frisco, Texas, and all reachable. If you are evaluating Kore for a serious deployment, you will meet several of them.

Design, engineering, payments and support, all in the same building
See inside Kore
Which is why the design service, the development team and the product engineers can actually talk to each other.
The people who built one shared core instead of twelve separate databases. Roughly half the company.
Designed.co: the subscription design team, and the studio behind every Kore interface.
Onboarding specialists, account leads and the support team. Named humans, in Frisco.
The team that reads your processing statement and tells you what it actually says.
Including the relationships with Fiserv, Clover, Telnyx, DoorDash and Google Cloud.
Payments infrastructure, telephony, delivery marketplaces and cloud, the companies whose rails Kore runs on, and whose accreditation we hold.
We hire people who would rather own a problem than be handed a ticket. Mostly Frisco-based with hybrid flexibility, and a few fully remote roles.
Nothing fits? Send us something anywayClear them to see every role, or send us something speculative. We read those properly.
Restaurants, dealerships, clinics and franchise groups run their day on Kore. Here is what they say when we are not in the room.
Still not sure? Talk to someone who works with the platform every day.
Headquarters are at 6605 Warren Parkway, Suite 760, Frisco, TX 75034. The company started in Chicago in 2012 and relocated to Texas in 2021.
No. Every application is built by our own engineering team on our own platform. We partner for infrastructure: card processing through Fiserv and Clover, telephony through Telnyx, hosting on Google Cloud, because building a card network would be a strange use of our time.
Yes, through MyDev. It is where the company started and it is still how several products came to exist. If your workflow needs a piece that does not exist, that is a conversation we are happy to have.
Over fifty people, roughly half in engineering and product, the rest across design, operations, payments, marketing and support.
Usually. Current openings are listed above, and we read speculative applications properly. If you are good and there is no listed role, write to us anyway.
Book a call with our team. Ask hard questions about the architecture, the pricing, the support model. We would rather answer them now than after you sign.
A named person from the Frisco team, not a call centre.
What we shipped, what broke, and the occasional customer number. One email a month.
