Introducing Coreutils.dev

At Core27, we work with a lot of tech businesses, where there’s tremendous pressure on engineering and growth teams to pump out feature after feature when the product goes to market. With Coreutils, they have a few less things to worry about.

What Is It?

Coreutils.dev is a simple API-first, back-office SaaS platform that simplifies frequently required core functionalities that are essential but tend to get deprioritized. It focuses on features that require a fair amount of time to get right, in order to offer the flexibility that teams demand. Such features tend to be hacked together to set the business in motion. Teams then periodically iterate to add sophistication to augment the product with necessary details. It also requires a lot of back and forth with the engineering teams who are already juggling multiple priorities.

Discounting And Offers

Discounting and Coupon management is one of those features, which is now fundamental to all online businesses. It offers growth teams the flexibility to offer the best value to their customers and has proven to be invaluable in increasing customer engagement and sales.

Early Access

As part of the early access release of Coreutils, we’re launching the Coupons feature. If you’re a business with a small engineering team that runs your own e-commerce offering, this could be a handy plug-and-play service that can help you get rolling quickly.

With the Coreutils’ coupon management platform, we wanted growth teams to be able to function with complete control after the initial integration process.

The coupons product lets you run targeted campaigns without having to constantly juggle Excel sheets and monitor budgets. It lets you offer targeted discounts across specific platforms, to specific users, on specific orders, or a combination of all of those. You can even vary your discounts dynamically with a single configuration and seamlessly reallocate budgets across days.

Here are some of the features that make Coreutils a great coupon and discounting platform for business development and growth teams:

• Customizable coupon codes: Create custom coupon codes that can be redeemed by customers on your website or in-store.

• Campaign management and budgeting: Manage your coupon campaigns and budgets to ensure that you're not overspending and getting the most out of your couponing efforts.

• Simple APIs: Our simple APIs and step-by-step documentation make it easy for developers to integrate Coreutils with your existing website, e-commerce platform, or CRM systems.

• Coupon constraints: Set coupon constraints to control how coupons can be redeemed, such as customer-specific redemptions, merchant-specific redemptions, minimum-value-based redemptions, and staggered redemptions.

• Easy to use admin panel: The Coreutils admin panel is easy to use and navigate, so you can easily create and manage your coupons and discounts.

• Effortless tracking and logs: Track the performance of your coupon campaigns and discounts to see what's working and what's not.

• Reasonable price: Coreutils is affordable for businesses of all sizes.

Don’t All Major Payment Gateways Already Do This?

Yes, of course! But there’s usually a limited level of control and granularity offered by the payment gateways. If that works for you, then we recommend sticking to it.

When Should I Use It?

We center most of our decisions around operational and logical simplicity. We want the teams we work with to have the same flexibility in the tooling they use.

Discounting budgets, per-day thresholds and dynamic readjustments of discounts were key to offering growth teams that flexibility, and Coreutils focuses on them as primary design tenets.

It offers growth teams the ability to use targeted discounting effortlessly. No micro-management or manual budgeting required. It lets them roll out campaigns when necessary, while offering the best value to the customers they support and an approach to growing engagement.

And, after the initial integration, you won’t be negotiating for time with your engineering teams.

What’s In It For Engineering?

As product engineers, we’ve always felt the need for more granular control of the services we build or integrate. Loosely coupled systems offer greater flexibility. We also love the ability to test small components and systems in isolation. As a result, things like changing service providers or gateways don’t significantly impact how we handle the discounting aspect of the system we manage.

Tell Me About Pricing?

Coreutils is a bootstrapped business and in order to offer the best value we feel this is a great starting point, but if you have something different in mind, do let us know. All our plans come with a built-in 15-day trial, but don’t hesitate to reach out if you need a longer one.

You Said This Was Early Access. What Else Can I Expect?

With the Coupons product, we’re launching with our introductory pricing and we’re aiming for better reporting, budgeting and campaign management. Stay tuned for automatic budget rollovers and reallocation, webhooks, additional constraints and configurations.
