The challenge
Before the platform launch, Móvil Éxito lacked an efficient digital channel for mobile plan purchases and recharges. Customers faced friction in the process and were limited in their payment options. Internally, integrating with multiple backend systems and payment processors made automation complex. The Éxito Group needed a robust, scalable solution that could handle growing digital demand while providing a seamless and secure shopping experience.
The solution
The development team created a fully integrated e-commerce portal powered by Drupal. The platform supports real-time transactions and enables automated activation of mobile packages on customer devices immediately after purchase.
Flexible payment methods were introduced, including credit card support, loyalty points through the Puntos Colombia program, and even mixed payments. The system connects with Móvil Éxito's internal databases and integrates smoothly with external services for payment processing and product activation.
To ensure continuous improvement, the platform was built to support ongoing development. Since launch, new features—such as customer self-service tools and options for distribution points—have been rolled out based on user feedback and evolving needs.

Conclusion

The success of the platform is reflected in increased sales, ongoing user engagement, and the platform’s ability to adapt quickly to new requirements. It’s a strong example of how digital innovation can drive customer satisfaction and operational success.
