VTEX Cloud Commerce Platform continues to be an innovator at the global scale. Traditional brands and retailers have evolved immensely and it has become apparent that in regards to unified commerce, the customer experience is the first priority. VTEX firmly understands this, and the company has made it their mission to develop solutions that support these needs inherently. Along with their multi-tenant cloud-based, elastic infrastructure, they have created a number of innovations designed to increase security while reducing stress to make the shopping experience faster, more transparent, and more accessible. Among these are a fully robust, out-of-the-box marketplace capability, a highly-advanced promotions module, a deeply functional distributed OMS, as well as the SmartCheckout™ feature, which is a patent-pending technology which enables a password-free, one-click, single-page checkout experience, shown to increase conversion rates by up to 21%. VTEX’s agile culture and features support the diverse needs of successful unified commerce, enabling the platform to deliver services of an unmatched level.
The VTEX platform is now prominent in over 28 countries, with 2,400+ online stores, featuring a period of just 109 days (on average) projected to go-live, with over 10,000 releases in the last 12 months.

As a result of the platform’s cutting-edge infrastructure, as well as its numerous solutions that add to its excellent functioning, VTEX continues to lead in an industry where many companies are providing outdated services.
VTEX attributes much of its continued growth and expansion to its agile core and culture. It is this agile infrastructure that enables the platform to remain so robust and versatile while supporting the needs of thousands of global digital commerce businesses. Understanding that while the individual needs of each company may vary, the underlying principles each online retailer requires are very much homogenous across the board.
