Essen Building a Tech Team for LATAM

The challenge

Essen didn't have a formal technology team in place — no defined processes, no tracking tools and no clear way to manage priorities.

We helped Essen build a technology team that develops, supports and maintains its reseller platform — and serves other areas across the company.

Our solution

  • Ordering and order management for resellers across Latin America
  • Sales tracking, new product setup and promotions
  • A digital library to upload, store and organize content
  • Local and regional payment methods, plus fraud prevention
  • Streamlined processes and engineering best practices to speed up delivery
  • Compliance with global quality and security standards

The result

  • A formal tech function, with processes, tracking tools and clear priorities
  • Resellers across Latin America buying and managing their orders online
  • Payments through local and regional methods, with fraud protection
  • Ongoing tech support for teams across the company
Process first, code second
Before adding features, we sorted out how the work got done: together with Essen's team, we set up processes, tracking tools and a way to prioritize. That foundation is what lets them ship changes to production steadily and safely today.

What Essen says

Tupaca has been our development partner for three years, giving us a great team: senior professionals who are also great people, committed every single day. I'm happy to say we're not two teams — we're one.
