In the rapidly evolving world of ecommerce, companies that embrace digital transformation and leverage innovative solutions achieve remarkable success. Vulcabras, the renowned brand management company responsible for Under Armour, Mizuno, and Olympikus in Brazil, is one of them.
Ewerton Ramos, Vulcabras’s director of Direct-to-Consumer (DTC), recognizes VTEX as the key to keeping the company’s customers satisfied. According to him, VTEX’s customization flexibility, scalability, and robust ecosystem are the three main pillars of its digital operation and a key component in distinguishing each unique brand.
“VTEX is the channel we use to delight our customers. It’s an integral part of our daily operations, and it equips us with the necessary tools to deliver exceptional shopping experiences.”
– Ewerton Ramos, director of DTC at Vulcabras
Throughout its 70-year journey, Vulcabras has continuously evolved and prioritized consumer satisfaction, integrating technology into all aspects of the business, from production to customer interactions. In addition to direct sales through its ecommerce stores, Vulcabras leverages VTEX’s marketplace channel as a significant growth driver. VTEX’s composable and complete solution enables seamless management of all integrations, further simplifying operations for the giant brand manager.
The ecommerce participation in Vulcabras’ overall sales has reached 10% this past year, and the digital operation has witnessed an exponential 120% year-over-year growth. This substantial number demonstrates Vulcabras’ commitment to digital transformation and highlights the importance of its partnership with VTEX.
Delivering exceptional customized shopping experiences
One of Vulcabras’ distinguishing factors is the harmonious synergy between channels for all of its brands. While the online segment continues to grow steadily, other channels, such as brick-and-mortar stores, complement this growth, fostering a thriving sports ecosystem. With a strong online presence and a healthy connection to the market, Vulcabras adds up to its greatest strength—the wholesale strategy—and even to its B2B partners.
“VTEX provided us with agility. Although the platform is the same, we can customize it for the three brands. It also offers an extensive ecosystem of partnerships and technologies.”
