Fragmented to seamless: a digital overhaul across 9 countries
Opportunity
Millicom International Cellular, through its Tigo product suite, delivers mobile, broadband, cable TV, and financial services across nine Latin American countries. With diverse standalone applications like Mi Tienda and Home Activator, the digital experience was fragmented, inconsistent, and difficult to scale. Tigo sought to unify its backend and frontend systems, improve user functionality, and create a cohesive user experience that could elevate product quality, enhance customer satisfaction, and drive growth in competitive markets.
Solution
A comprehensive UX unified Tigo’s digital presence:
• Consolidated applications — streamlined Mi Tienda and Home Activator experiences across Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay, and Panama.
•Improved service accessibility — simplified flows for purchases, activations, and service management.
• Tigo Money app — refined UX/UI for mobile e-wallet users in Bolivia, Honduras, and El Salvador, enhancing onboarding, eKYC, and transactions (including crypto support in El Salvador).
Results
This project demonstrates how a unified UX strategy, paired with backend integration, can transform fragmented digital products into scalable platforms that support both telecom and fintech growth across diverse regulatory environments.
• 25% growth of Mi Tienda application (2021–2023)
• 2M+ users added to Mi Tienda (2022–2023)
• Strengthened customer trust and engagement across multiple markets
