Innobyte, one of the most important Romanian eCommerce software development companies, announces that the new line of business based on the global digital commerce platform VTEX generated revenues of approximately 1 million lei in 2022, respectively 10% of the turnover for the entire year. The two companies concluded a partnership last summer through which Innobyte will develop VTEX projects and solutions for customers in Romania. Also, the Romanian company recorded Q4 2022 as the best quarter in history in terms of revenues.
The new VTEX line of business has a strategic role in the development of Innobyte, the company starting in recent months several large-scale VTEX projects for the development of digital platforms using VTEX solutions for customers in Romania.
2022 was a year in which we focused on developing a new line of business and expanding capabilities by starting the strategic partnership with the global VTEX platform. Thus, we offer solutions to a wider portfolio of online stores from various industries and fields. One of the challenges of this direction was attracting specialists and training them to implement VTEX projects. The positive effects did not take long to appear. The new business line represented approximately 10% of last year’s turnover. We aim to be a relevant partner with direct impact in the eCommerce strategy of VTEX platform customers.

To support the new projects, the company runs tech specialization programs to expand its team of specialists for the medium and long term and to fill the skill gap in the local labour market. Innobyte started 2023 with 43 eCommerce tech specialists and plans to grow the team by over 20% by the end of the year. The company currently has open positions for mid and senior developers familiar with Node.js, Typescript, React.js, Magento technologies and QA specialists.
The new strategy based on VTEX generated in 2022 the best Q4 in the history of Innobyte
One of the main challenges faced by Innobyte in 2022 was to maintain the company’s financial performance concerning investments in the new VTEX line of business. The internal strategy began to show the first signs of success, so in 2022, Innobyte recorded the best Q4 in the company’s history, revenues approx. 15% higher than the last quarter of the previous year, approx. 3.5 million lei.
Innobyte’s business model involves providing software development services for large clients and the development of complex projects that span extended periods. The company works with relatively few active clients but with considerable eCommerce budgets. The number of new customers increased in 2022 by 20%, and the portfolio follows a growing trend from year to year.
We add 2-3 new projects every year so that we can generate added value for our partners and grow together. In 2022 we followed the same growth trend and added new industries, such as retail and DIY, which generated interesting growth during this period. For 2023 we are still aiming to attract new customers and booming industries. We are also confident in our partnership and collaboration with some of the most important eCommerce platforms in the world, VTEX and Magento.
