VTEX Sees Record Numbers During Black Friday 2016
MIAMI, Dec. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Friday 2016 went over very well for retailers and businesses utilizing the VTEX Cloud Commerce platform. Throughout many of the world's markets, this platform has proven to be more than capable of handling the massive influx of traffic on what is known to be the most important day of internet retail for the entire year.
Despite the challenges facing international markets right now, VTEX experienced growth at 54% over the numbers seen in 2015, which is an enormous achievement for the platform. Black Friday 2016 was a great success as witnessed by the excellent figures from eCommerce businesses using the VTEX platform such as Whirlpool, Sony, and C&A, among others. Globally and within emerging markets.
The VTEX Cloud Commerce platform provides service to over 1,000 different manufacturers and retailers, and is currently expanding into the North American market. As an alternative to standard eCommerce platforms, VTEX differentiates itself as a solution designed to handle the needs of high-volume online retailers.
