The story

RW Elephant started as a vertical SaaS platform for event rental businesses, focused on inventory and order management. Over time it layered in embedded payments — first via Stripe Connect, then adding JustiFi under the 'RW Pay' brand — transforming from a pure-SaaS tool into a payments-enabled platform for the rental niche. RW Pay now functions as the primary embedded finance product, handling credit card processing, online payment pages, autopay, and payout reporting for rental operators.
