BARCELONA, Spain, March 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Openbravo, the global omnichannel platform vendor for agile and innovative commerce, today announced its 2020 results.
- Despite the pandemic, the company achieved a +30% retail software revenue growth of its omnichannel platform for retailers, compared to 2019.
- In France, revenues multiplied by 3x
- Cloud revenues, corresponding to customers of the Openbravo Managed Cloud service, also increased by more than 60% in part driven by a 31% increase in the number of customers.
Growth supported by the omnichannel imperative and the new role of physical stores
In a highly uncertain environment, Openbravo was able to respond to the new challenges imposed by the pandemic that have rapidly become critical priorities in the new retail reality. In particular, helping retailers to leverage the exponential online commerce growth through the transformation of the physical stores to deliver new services, such as Click and Collect, even during lockdown periods, and more secure in-store shopping experiences.
Openbravo cloud-native capabilities enabled also to continue with the execution of ongoing projects, with all preparation, deployment and support tasks fully executed remotely.
Consolidated positioning in France and growth in Spain
2020 results were especially positive in France, where Openbravo has rapidly become a retail software provider of choice in less than 3 years.
New customers like Caroll, agnès b, Weldom and Conserverie la belle-iloise, have been added to a growing list of leading French brands and retailers, who have preferred Openbravo to accelerate their digital transformation and omnichannel strategies. The relationship with already existing customers like BUT, Decathlon or Zôdio (Adeo group) has also been consolidated during 2020.
