Shoper is a leader in the Polish market of e-commerce software providers in the SaaS model, which allows entrepreneurs to conveniently, quickly and easily set up their own online store and conduct sales in the online channel. The company's comprehensive offer includes the Shoper platform, made available in the form of a subscription, as well as a range of services sold in the pay-as-you-grow (PAYG) model, correlated directly with the number of orders or the volume of turnover (GMV) generated by stores on the platform. The company's solutions are used by more than 20,000 stores, representing diverse industries.
- The approval of the Prospectus is very positive news, it means that Shoper's Public Offering will begin in the coming days. The comprehensive offer for e-shops that we have been building for 15 years has allowed us to take a leading position in the Polish market of SaaS software providers and become the platform of first choice for entrepreneurs deciding to enter the online channel. We are in a period of dynamic growth, we have a rich offer and great people on board, and the Polish e-commerce market has very good prospects. Taking all these factors into account, I think this is a good time to join the ranks of companies on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. We expect the first listing of shares later in the first half of July," comments Marcin Kuśmierz, CEO of Shoper.
The company's strategy is to maintain its position as a market leader offering e-commerce software in the SaaS model, including by increasing the user base of the Shoper platform, including through potential acquisitions and expansion into new countries, as well as increasing the share of revenue in the PAYG model and developing current and new services, including those focused on supporting multi-channel sales.
- We want to continue to take advantage of the high scalability of our business model and increase the user base using our platform and the additional services we offer in a pay-as-you-grow model. We are considering acquisitions of smaller e-commerce platforms, as well as going out with our offerings to other countries. The first step was the purchase of the ErpBox application, which allows Shoper customers to, among other things, integrate with trading platforms that allow them to sell abroad. At this point, we ceased to be a Company that operates exclusively on Polish territory," adds Marcin Kuśmierz.
Shoper reported revenue of PLN 47 million and management EBITDA of PLN 22 million in 2020, after excluding one-time events.
