Magento has been chosen as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Commerce, after being selected as the Challenger by Gartner last year!

Gartner’s report assessed 21 eCommerce platform providers to create a thoughtful evaluation of top digital commerce vendors in a growing market. Magento was named a Leader, “based on its increasingly growing and flexible commerce platform that is used in many verticals and by companies of various sizes across many countries.” According to Gartner, leaders are those digital commerce providers who:

• Offer functionality with scope and intelligence

• Provide an e-commerce reach across a wide range of industries and business models

• Supply platforms that are able to scale up to allow extensive transaction capacities and elevated levels of revenue

• Offer sales and support services directly and via a network of partners

• Provide added application capabilities that integrate with their e-commerce platform

Vaimo’s CEO, David Holender, said that “We expected Magento to reach the Leaders' section in the report, and we look forward to leveraging this success in our business. As one of the top Magento full-service solution providers and Magento’s Global Elite partners, we have worked exclusively with Magento's platform since day one, and we strive to deliver excellence on the Magento platform to B2B and B2C merchants. For Vaimo, it’s fantastic to see Magento take its rightful leadership place in the the quadrant.”

It’s further described in the report that Leaders as those digital commerce providers who are viable technically, financially, and organizationally, and who constantly demonstrate client satisfaction. Leaders are exemplary in their field and examples to other e-commerce platform vendors.

While Gartner also communicated the obstacles that Magento as a platform poses, Vaimo has worked hard to address and overcome the challenges that have been communicated in the report with the platform.

“Vaimo is proud to have been delivering solutions on Magento 2 since August 2016 and we have managed to launch over 15 sites on Magento 2, including solutions for Helly Hansen, Osprey London, Sova, Slendertone, and Ontime. We also have several promising projects in the works that are due to be launched in the upcoming months on Magento 2,” said Holender.

While B2B functionality for Magento is scheduled for release in the summer of 2017, Vaimo has built many customised B2B solutions for our clients, such as Lecot Raedschelders, BAUHAUS, Alas-Kuul, MRP, HP Norway,Oticon, Marimekko, Paulig, and Brown-Forman Australia.

We also provide experienced and skilled Magento team members in our sales and support department, with over 350 employees located in 14 offices in 11 countries around the world. Vaimo entered the Asian market last year with help from transcosmos, an eCommerce giant boasting 20,000 employees, and we opened an office in Japan with a growing support team for our new market.
