In 2019, Salsify added new customers such as Corning, Vera Bradley, Sauder, Burton, Spanx, American Bath, and Evenflo. In addition, Salsify continued to expand within its existing customer base with significant follow-on transactions at L’Oreal, Mars, Nestle, Coca-Cola, and GlaxoSmithKline, resulting in a dollar revenue retention of 122 percent. Such dollar revenue retention is considered best-in class for enterprise SaaS businesses, and is reflective of the confidence Salsify’s customers have in the platform’s ability to help them engage shoppers wherever they shop. Additionally, Salsify established and grew partnerships with 7 of the top 10 US retailers in 2019 to enable brand manufacturers to more efficiently activate and optimize their content and digital experiences across our rapidly growing retailer network. The company opened a Chicago office – the epicenter for consumer packaged goods brands (CPG) – in 2019 to enhance its service offerings for its customers in the Midwest. Globally, the company expanded its European presence, growing its office in Lisbon, Portugal to 30 employees.

“Shoppers are discovering, researching, and purchasing on an array of physical and digital channels that have added a new layer of complexity for brand manufacturers challenges with reaching and nurturing new customers and retaining existing ones,” Rob Gonzalez, CMO and co-founder, Salsify said. “Salsify is uniquely positioned to help its customers win this battle being waged for customer loyalty across channels old and new.”

Growth at this scale demands a great team culture. Numerous Best Workplace award wins include two recognitions from Fortune – on both its Best Places to Work for Women and Best Small- and Medium-Sized Workplaces list. Salsify was also recognized on Comparably’s lists for Best Company Culture, Best CEOs, and Best Companies for Women.
