Zero friction onboarding and collaboration:
- The Foschini Group, a leading South African retailer with 26 diverse brands, leveraged VTEX to launch "Bash," integrating 18 brands into one customizable marketplace. Post-launch, multi-brand orders surged by 73%, and app sales quickly reached over 35% of total online sales within two months, boasting a conversion rate exceeding 200% for mobile web and 80% for desktop. Additionally, page load speed improved by 33%, enhancing the overall user experience.
- Sorte Online, a leading Brazilian platform specialized in lottery intermediation, adopted VTEX's headless approach for greater frontend autonomy, improving their go-to-market strategy. This move led to increased conversion rates across all channels (organic, direct, paid media) due to reduced latency and VTEX's scalability for high traffic without downtime.
- An aftermarket vendor in the US, has embarked on a collaboration project with VTEX to evolve their B2B online experience and improve customer experience, search and track product details, while benefiting from VTEX master data capabilities to manage their extensive SKU catalog.
- A global clothing and accessories retailer with 11 online stores and 10 marketplaces across 39 countries, adopted VTEX's headless CMS approach. This integration allows them to easily customize and manage webpage content, enhancing performance by minimizing errors and content loss.
- At NY Fashion Week, PatBo partnered with VTEX for a Live Shopping event, being the only Brazilian brand to host a fashion show at the event. The results were impressive, with a 300% increase in sales, a 125% surge in orders, and a notable 79% rise in average order value, underscoring Live Shopping's growing efficacy.
- During VTEX Connect Latam, the Live Shopping experience thrived with the Live Booth, hosting seven 40-minute events with an average of 447 viewers each. Notably, KitchenAid, a participating brand, enjoyed a remarkable 152% increase in sales. AI Tags, a new feature introduced during the event, enabled live presenters to identify products in real-time, enhancing the overall Live Shopping experience.
- In Argentina, the TV show "Bailando por un Sueño" seamlessly integrated with Style Store, a VTEX customer utilizing a streaming solution for Live Shopping. The result: over 75K viewers during the live broadcast and an astounding 700% sales boost compared to the previous month. This event showcased Live Shopping's evolving landscape and its potential for remarkable sales growth.
Single control panel for every order
- Naldo, an Argentine retail brand with 70+ stores in 14 states, opted for the VTEX platform. This choice streamlined their vast SKU management, enabled payment and promotion features, and integrated logistics with third parties, enhancing sales opportunities and customer experience.
Commerce on auto-pilot and co-pilot
- Farma Conde, a well-known Brazilian pharmacy chain with numerous physical stores, joined forces with VTEX for omnichannel capabilities. They've integrated over 160 stores into VTEX's platform, using features like regionalization and intelligent search to improve the customer experience. Farma Conde also utilizes third-party solutions from the VTEX ecosystem, including Mercado Pago for payments and Google Analytics for performance metrics.

The development platform of choice for digital commerce

Business Outlook

The integration of ecommerce to leverage existing physical stores has become a crucial aspect of the business strategy for enterprise brands and retailers. Consumers now expect a seamless shopping experience, whether they're browsing online or in-store. Omnichannel has gone from being a desirable feature to a vital tool for engaging with consumers in a consistent and relevant manner.

Although the global macroeconomic environment imposes challenges to retailers and ecommerce players, our company has not seen any significant deterioration in our most relevant long-term performance metrics. This is a testament to the resilience of our business model and our ability to adapt to changing market conditions.

Although the macroeconomic scenario remains uncertain, we see an encouraging stabilization on our sale cycle in the current quarter. We are closely monitoring the performance of our customers and sales funnel and taking necessary actions to ensure our business's continued growth and success.

In this context, we are currently targeting revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 in the US$55.0 million to US$57.0 million range, implying a YoY growth of 22% on an FX neutral basis in the middle of the range.

For the full year 2023, considering the current performance of the company, we are increasing the bottom and the top of the range, now targeting the full year to end between 22% to 23% on an FX-neutral YoY basis, implying a range of US$196 million to US$198 million based on October average FX rate and assuming a devaluation of Argentina's currency aligned with market futures rates.

As we continue executing our strategy for profitable growth, we anticipate YoY improvements in our Non-GAAP operating income margin in the fourth quarter 2023.

We are confident in VTEX's ability to navigate the uncertainties posed by the current macroeconomic scenario. We are empowering our customers to digitally transform their commerce operations while helping them to outperform the market.

The business outlook provided above constitutes forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws and is based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks. Actual results could vary materially as a result of numerous factors, including certain risk factors, many of which are beyond VTEX's control. See the cautionary note regarding ''Forward-Looking Statements'' below. Fluctuations in VTEX's operating results may be particularly pronounced in the current economic environment. There can not be an assurance that VTEX will achieve these results.
