What is Tenpo?

Tenpo first began in 2020, becoming the first and only company in Latin America to invest in a disruptive financial model. As a CMF (Financial Market Commission) licensed fintech company, Tenpo’s goal is to democratize finances for its community with a secure, transparent, and personal approach. Quickly after launching, Tenpo acquired their first 100K users, and after 4 years of growth and innovation, Tenpo has added a full suite of financial services to their app, allowing users to have a limitless account balance, make purchases, deposit salaries, transfer money, withdraw cash from ATMs, invest, and much more.

The Tenpo Challenge

High operational costs

Limited attribution capabilities

Insufficient customer support

Gated core features behind upsells

As with many fintech apps, Tenpo’s product lines grew rapidly to provide a diversified range of services to users, creating a centralized tool to help with all financial needs. With the addition of more product lines, Tenpo’s marketing team was left with a lot of conversion events to track and a cross-device flow that made it complicated to attribute the entire user journey.

Adding a cost solution to our contract would have been an additional fee, so we decided to evaluate the value between our last provider and what other MMPs could offer.

Tenpo did not have access to cost aggregation with its previous MMP. While Tenpo recognized there were benefits to having a unified attribution and cost aggregation solution, they would hae had to increase their contract price to add cost aggregation and analytics. With Tenpo’s MMP operating costs already high they couldn’t rationalize paying more. There was always an additional fee to access key features that addressed Tenpo’s challenges.

Tenpo’s contract cost-to-value ratio was the motivation the team needed to start evaluating new MMPs.

Why Singular?

The evaluation took some time and in the end, the Tenpo team clearly saw migrating to Singular would result in cost savings, more features and functionality, and a dedicated team to support its needs and growth goals.

With Singular, there were more features available than with our previous vendor like cross-device, fraud, and audiences.

While with their previous MMP, key features required for Tenpo’s growth were gated behind additional costs and upsells that eventually proved to be too costly for the actual value provided. With Singular, Tenpo unlocked access to features like cost aggregation, granular ROI, cross-device reporting, a streamlined data pipeline and more – which to Singular are tablestakes for a marketer’s growth and shouldn’t come as a surprise cost.

As an added bonus, Tenpo quickly recognized the upleveled support from Singular would be a game changing differentiator that wasn’t originally on the list of requirements. “One of the biggest differentiators of Singular versus other MMPs is the dedication of the customer success managers and solution engineers and the sense of urgency they have when we need something. It is a huge advantage.”

The Singular Advantage

Captures and reports the full cross-device user journey

Out of the box access to all data in a single plug-and-play ETL pipeline

Dynamic audience building for internal and external partners

Responsive local support team (CS, SE, and Support) to partner with

Migrations are often a perceived barrier for those that aren’t happy with their MMP, due to costs and data loss. The Tenpo team understood that while their migration would require some resources and internal coordination with with Singular, migration would be a short term pain for long term value and cost benefits. Singular immediately set the migration in motion with a thoughtful plan, a hands-on partnership, and more affordable contract pricing that bundles features and focuses on growing with Tenpo’s business.

“We split the implementation into two phases. First we pushed the front end implementation, then we executed the backend integration, and we finished successfully with the help of Singular Support Team.”

Singular helped us save operation costs, define the resources we needed for the migration, and coordinate the team we needed. We completed 80% of the migration in less than 2 months with a small squad of 2 senior developers. Which made the migration more than worth it for us.
