Automated CRM Segmentation for a Leading Fintech

of consumers expect companies to take an active stance on social, environmental, and political issues

According to a survey by "Social Sprout"

Design-Driven Data Science

A Latam fintech unicorn grew its user base by around 400% in a single year due to a clear value proposition and fluid user/customer experience.

But this accelerated growth brought about some questions: who were these new customers and how do we serve them?

To answer these questions, MJV’s team used data science techniques to statistically scale and validate findings from the research & discovery process within the CRM database.

The Challenge

 Segmentation of the local banked population according to their main unmet needs.

• Automation of the process of identifying segments in the customer database.

• And the discovery of opportunities for innovation in the upscale market.

The Challenge

Market Research and Customer Profiles

When dealing with large sets of data, MJV believes that a qualitative angle is a necessity, especially when the data represent living, breathing individuals - a mix we like to call Design-Driven Data Science.

Our solution was to use market research alongside qualitative user interviews in order to generate the customer profiles and benchmarks needed for CRM segmentation while keeping the team and deliveries adherent to user realities, needs, and pains.

Validating a New Revenue Model Through Testing-as-a-Service

A solution is only as good as what you can prove, and MJV did this through a testing-as-a-service framework.

While our client ran the stores (both digital & physical), we took it upon ourselves to craft, test, and validate the strategy to determine if it should be implemented nationwide.

Qualitative Segmentation

Two different hypotheses for segmenting the banked population based on qualitative research.

Segmentation Drivers

Definition of relevant factors for differentiating the behavior of bank customers.

Market Deck

Research and information from secondary sources with financial market data, banked population, and upscale segment benchmarks.

Segmentation of the banked population

Creation of factors and method of categorization of macro and micro-drivers, extracting 8 financial segments and 20 micro-segments according to its variables of interest, from a stratified, complex sampling model.

Quantitative scoring of the customer base

Creation of a lead scoring matching the customer profiles with financial products, according to purchase propensity.

Identification, segmentation & scoring automation

Development of a streamlined, automated, more efficient, and documented process/code for segmentation and base scoring iterations.

The extensive scope resulted in five different work fronts. To base each of our work fronts, we decided to ground the individual segments of the process with specific methodologies.
