“The increase that online has registered in 2020 maintained in 2021, enabling the development of the eCommerce industry, and in the first six months we worked at full capacity. Innobyte’s growth is slightly above initial estimates, due to new projects in the portfolio and requests from current customers, and the persistent need for online store operators to find an eCommerce development partner,” said Cătălin Bordei, Managing Partner Innobyte.
