}}Fortumo is an international mobile technology company. The company develops a platform for app stores and digital service providers for user acquisition, monetization and retention. Fortumo's products allow digital merchants to manage the end-to-end customer lifecycle of mobile users on more than 350 mobile operator networks through bundling, carrier billing and messaging solutions. Fortumo started in 2007 as a spin-off of the mobile services company Mobi Solutions, and currently employs over 80 people in its offices in Estonia (Tartu & Tallinn), USA (San Francisco), China (Beijing), India (Delhi), Singapore and Vietnam (Hanoi). As of December 2017, over 170 thousand merchants have signed up with Fortumo. In March 2018, Fortumo and Apigate became partners to facilitate digital payments in Cambodia.[1]

Products

Fortumo provides a digital enablement platform for to digital merchants and mobile operators to acquire, monetize and retain their users.

  • Direct Carrier Billing platform: enables digital merchants to collect payments from subscribers of over 350 mobile operators. Merchants can choose to either integrate one of the turn-key products provided for this purpose (Web SDK, Android SDK, Hosted DCB) or directly integrate with Fortumo's direct carrier billing API.[2][3][4]
  • Bundling platform: enables digital merchants and mobile operators to provision discounted or free digital service access to mobile operator subscribers. Fortumo's platform provides a unified interface for user authentication, service provisioning and configuring any type of bundle offer across dozens of digital service providers and over 350 mobile operators.[5]
  • Messaging platform: enables digital merchants to communicate with their customers through mobile messaging. The platform is connected to over 350 mobile operators and can be used for 2-factor authentication, payment notifications and marketing communications.[6]
  • Fortumo Insight: provides mobile operators with an overview of their carrier billing performance, including data on account activations, payment behaviour, top grossing content by category and payment failure rates.[7]

Customers

Merchants using Fortumo include app stores (Google Play), streaming services (Spotify, iflix, Sony, HOOQ, BoxTV.com, Gaana.com, Times Internet), gaming companies (Rovio,[8] Gameloft, EA Mobile, Kinguin) and device manufacturers (Huawei, Alcatel).[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]

Fortumo has integrated approximately 350 mobile operators to its platform. Fortumo's mobile operator partners include mobile operator groups such as Telefónica, Telenor and Orange as well as individual mobile operators like Reliance Communications, Turkcell and Globe Telecom. Fortumo uses the mobile operators' technical infrastructure to authenticate users, process payments and enable mobile messaging for its merchants while giving the mobile operators access to real-time data and payments analytics through its Fortumo Insight dashboard.[18][19][20][21][22][23]

Venture Capital Investments

In February 2013, Fortumo announced it had completed a growth round of financing with the first external shareholders - Intel Capital and Greycroft Partners - joining the company. Although financial details about the funding were not disclosed, TechCrunch reported approximately 10 million USD as the size of the deal. Fortumo co-founder Rain Rannu explained the reasons for bringing in additional investors: "Working with Intel Capital and Greycroft will help us to pursue additional growth opportunities, including strategic partnerships and acquisitions".[24]

Carrier Billing for Physical Goods

In September 2014, Fortumo launched an online store for selling Rovio plush toys to SingTel customers using carrier billing. The project where users charge physical item to their phone bill is the first of its kind in the carrier billing industry and Fortumo has reported seeing up to 5x lower shopping cart abandonment rates compared to credit-card based online billing solutions.[25][26]

Bundling Platform

In February 2017, Fortumo launched a bundling platform for digital content providers and mobile operators. Traditional bundle deals between a digital content provider (such as a VOD company) and mobile operator require a separate integration between the parties in order to provision discounted or free digital service access to mobile operator subscribers. With the bundling platform, Fortumo allows mobile operators to connect to several digital content providers at once and vice versa, in addition providing a unified interface for user authentication, service provisioning and configuring any type of bundle offer. This makes the launch of bundle partnerships quicker and easier for both parties involved.[27]

  • In 2013, Fortumo won a Meffy for an innovative business model for Android app distribution[29]
  • In 2012, 2011 and 2010, Best Entrepreneur by Tartu City Government[30]
  • In 2011, Fortumo won the highest Estonian recognition to entrepreneurs - Entrepreneurship Award 2011 (and also the award for Exporter 2011) given out by Enterprise Estonia.[31]
  • In 2009, Mobile Monday Peer Awards 2009 Finalist[32][33]
  • In 2009, Winner of the Best Nordic Mobile Startup award[34]
