VTEX Cloud Commerce Platform, a leading unified commerce solution serving brands and retailers in 28 countries, announced today it has achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Retail Competency status. This announcement validates VTEX’s innovative approach to digital commerce retail services and its proven record of global customer success.

The AWS Retail Competency Partners have demonstrated success in offering end-to-end solutions across Customer Engagement, Corporate Merchandising and Planning, Supply Chain and Distribution, Physical, Digital, and Virtual Store, Advanced Retail Data Science, Core Retail Business Applications, and Consulting Practices for Retail on AWS.

AWS Retail Competency Partners undergo rigorous validation by AWS to ensure alignment to AWS best practices for building secure, high-performing, resilient and efficient cloud infrastructure for industry applications – to give customers an increased confidence when making decisions.

Achieving the AWS Retail Competency differentiates VTEX as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member that delivers highly specialized technical proficiency. To receive this designation, APN Partners must possess deep AWS expertise and deliver effective customer solutions seamlessly. This validation process ensures that customers can choose AWS Retail Competency Partners like VTEX with confidence.

“VTEX is proud to have achieved AWS Retail Competency status. This designation positions us to deliver even more value to our customers,” said Alexandre Soncini, VTEX North America General Manager. “Our unified commerce solution provides one of the fastest time-to-revenue in the industry. VTEX retailers can deliver Amazon-like experiences to their customers without the complex technology to manage, which grants them the freedom to focus on selling products.”

Motorola has recently announced that it will implement the VTEX unified commerce platform to further strengthen its relationship with consumers and offer them a better online journey. “After an extensive search, Motorola decided to partner with VTEX, which uses AWS to provide an elastic cloud infrastructure, with a software platform that fulfills the digital vision of the company,” said François Laflamme, Motorola’s Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer.

“Many retailers are reinventing their operations and brand experience with new innovations in the cloud,” said Tom Litchford, Head of Retail Business Development, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “We are delighted to welcome VTEX to the AWS Retail Competency Program. Their solutions for retail operations, powered and vetted by AWS, can help our customers to accelerate their transformation, modernization, and customer engagement efforts.”

Achieving AWS Retail Competency status caps a banner year for VTEX. During Q4 of 2019, the company received a $140 million SoftBank-led investment round and was named a leading major player on the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SaaS and Cloud-Enabled B2C Digital Commerce Platforms 2018 Vendor Assessment. In 2019, VTEX also marked three years in a row ranking in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Commerce.

AWS is enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions from startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the AWS Competency Program to help customers identify Consulting and Technology APN Partners with deep industry experience and expertise.

VTEX will be onsite at the upcoming NRF 2020 Vision: Retail’s Big Show taking place January 11-14 in NYC. The company will be showcasing its innovative solution in booth # 603 on Level 1. VTEX will also participate in a Tech Talk as an AWS Competency Partner where it will provide “10 Features Your Need in your Online Store to Deliver an Amazon-like Experience to your Shoppers.” The presentation takes place January 13 at 9:40am in the AWS Booth #6063 Theater.
