VTEX, the composable and complete commerce platform for both B2C and B2B brands, has been named a Leader in the new IDC MarketScape: Worldwide B2B Digital Commerce Applications for MidMarket Growth 2023–2024 Vendor Assessment.
The IDC MarketScape recognizes VTEX’s leadership in B2B Digital Commerce, citing VTEX’s strengths in the report as:
- Unified commerce approach: Unified commerce is a term with many potential definitions in commerce. VTEX can competently cover each possible angle — B2B, B2C, B2X, omnichannel (retail plus ecommerce), experiential commerce (live commerce, conversational commerce, and guided shopping), and marketplaces — either directly or via composable commerce API integrations.
- Developer-friendly: VTEX is a key player in the MACH Alliance, advocating for MACH commerce architectures. VTEX’s alignment with these principles positions the company as a strong choice for enterprises seeking a future-proof digital commerce solution that offers both flexibility and scalability.
- Serverless development platform: VTEX IO serves as a comprehensive low-code platform, enabling rapid development and extension of ecommerce solutions.
- Native marketplace capabilities and OMS: VTEX offers OMS and marketplace modules that allow merchants to operate their own online marketplace and sell across one another’s online stores.
“The B2B industry is being disrupted. The old blue and boring blue screen to insert orders is dying. The sales team needs an interface as modern as the customers’ and buyers want to go beyond the product detail page. So an industry of front-end to ERPs is emerging and VTEX is uniquely ready to tackle this challenge,” said Mariano Gomide de Faria, Founder and Co-CEO of VTEX.
