Message from the CEO
The continued strong growth led to another quarter of high growth in basic revenues and gross margin.
Growth was driven by higher usage of the platform by existing customers as well as new customers, across industries and continents. The success of the Dutch Grand Prix was a great showcase of the many benefits our platform offers to event planners and other businesses by intelligently combining informative and engaging messages with our payment and ticketing solutions. . As such, it has inspired many other venues and event planners. Another example of the versatility of our platform is the recently opened Moco Museum in Barcelona, ​​which uses a combination of our ticketing services, Mobile Marketing Cloud, Mobile Service Cloud, Payments and Payment Terminal.
We believe we are well positioned to help customers execute their customer engagement strategies, as technological and regulatory changes will force them to adopt new best practices in this next era of customer engagement.
