Always-Optimized KPI Applications

Challenge

  • A major Southeast Asian telecom provider acquired 30% of its postpaid users from prepaid conversions
  • However, the segment showed only a 5% conversion rate and a 30% default rate, resulting in over $6.5M in annual revenue leakage
  • The goal was to replace basic rule-based lead filtering with dynamic models using richer data

Approach

  • Developed a framework to select leads based on each customer’s incremental value
  • Integrated Telco data (call records, billing, CRM, top-up) with external sources
  • Inferred user mobility patterns via cell tower proximity to home, work, and frequented areas

Results

  • Captured 60% of likely defaulters, saving ~$4M annually
  • Reduced lead volume 10x (lowering costs) while improving conversion by 2%, driving ~0.3% top-line growth
Prepaid Migration Leakage

Challenge

  • Negligible MAU growth, as acquisition matched churn
  • Challenged to achieve high MAU and fast growth targets
  • Goal: Identify triggers to drive user growth and app engagement

Approach

  • Rapid experiments to compare active vs. inactive user traits.
  • Used behavioral data across categories such as:
    • Content consumption, user events, traffic source, device attributes
    • DWH, CDR, and browsing data

Results

Insights led to initiatives that resulted in ~7% reduction in leakage, including:

  • Optimized Earn and Burn strategy to boost stickiness
  • Improvements to UI, chat, and interaction functionalities
  • General app performance enhancements and bug fixes
App Engagement Uplift

Challenge

  • One of Thailand’s largest telecos supporting retail operations faced location strategy uncertainty due to generational and COVID-driven behavioral shifts
  • The goal was to find strategic sites for new stores and prioritize existing ones based on performance

Approach

  • Connected telco footfall, segmentation, retailer data, and OSM to uncover location performance drivers
  • Analyzed population foot traffic and linked segments to high-performing stores
  • Forecasted sales at potential new sites using explainable factors for decision support

Results

  • Built highly accurate predictive models for store performance
  • Delivered explainable insights into location characteristics based on evolving customer behaviour
  • Enabled smarter prioritization and data-driven expansion planning
Retail Location Optimization

Challenge

  • One of Thailand’s largest Telco operators with over 30 million customers
  • Challenged to increase SMS campaign performance in terms of conversion rate and total sales
  • The goal was to identify the right target audience with the most effective message and timing

Approach

  • Connect the dots across multiple datasets including profiles, call detail records, payment history, loyalty programs, usage patterns (voice, SMS, data), browsing behaviors, and location data
  • Tested hundreds of millions of hypotheses to identify features linked to conversion and high-value customers
  • Extracted target audiences through micro-segmentation and propensity models

Results

  • Boosted campaign response rate by 270%, driving customer satisfaction and increasing sales by 5.5M THB
  • Improved customer understanding using explainable features and ongoing profiling
SMS Targeting Optimization

Challenge

  • Leading North American pay TV and broadband provider
  • Suffering from extremely high voluntary churn across products
  • Existing models failed to identify enough high-risk customers
  • Goal: Improve retention by accurately identifying churn-prone users and adapt over time

Approach

  • Connected profile, payment, loyalty, usage, and browsing data across services, including viewing history and location
  • Continuously tested millions of hypotheses to uncover churn drivers
  • Extracted high-risk microsegments as precise campaign targets

Results

  • Identified churn segments with 5–10x higher propensity than the base rate
  • Pinpointed 20% of churners with actionable reasons, enabling tailored interventions
  • Achieved $100M+ annual run-rate impact through improved targeting
