Tento Helados

We designed the e-commerce platform that
integrates all Tento Helados’ points of sale.

The challenge

Tento Helados is the largest ice-cream chain in Rosario. They came to us looking for an online marketing solution for their more than 30 franchises.
The question they asked was: Is it possible for all franchises to participate and be commercially integrated in an online sales strategy, even those in other locations?

The solution

In response, we proposed to create an online sales channel that would allow:

  • The active participation of all its branches.
  • A better shopping experience and service to customers.
  • Low sales commissions from delivery platforms.

The project

We worked in the implementation of Central Market, our e-commerce platform specially designed for companies looking to integrate several points of sale into a single online strategy.

In this case, a channel with a mixed form of management was created, so that some tasks can be managed centrally by the brand and others managed by each branch.

We also applied our geolocation technology, which allowed to distribute the demand efficiently among the branches, providing a better shopping experience, and thus a greater sales opportunity for each ice-cream parlor.

Successful points of sale and more brand value

As a result, franchised ice-cream parlors gained more customers and increased their profits by taking over the sales process. Meanwhile, Tento Helados benefited by positioning itself as an innovative brand that maintains strategic control of its business.
