The company’s accelerating growth caps a banner year that also saw YOOBIC ink major deals with top global brands, build out its global teams, win plaudits from analysts and industry groups, and cement strategic partnerships to expand its offering and fuel future growth.
YOOBIC’s platform is now used by over 300 global brands operating in more than 80 countries, with over 1 million frontline employees using the company’s apps to elevate performance, level up their skill sets, and drive scalable success.

Globally, YOOBIC onboarded more new users in the first 5 months of the year than in the whole of 2021.
YOOBIC’s game-changing platform is now trusted by industry-leading brands including Levi’s, Benetton, Stella McCartney, Ralph Lauren, Lidl, and Lloyds Pharmacy.

In total, YOOBIC empowered frontline teams to deliver a 20%-plus increase in in-store conversions in 2021, with a 300% increase in user activity as teams leveraged YOOBIC’s rich task-management and communication features to optimise team performance and coordinate agile and responsive operations across their entire networks. YOOBIC’s streamlined engagement and learning features proved especially important as enterprises onboarded new hires and worked to retain and support current employees, with YOOBIC users completing 8X more lessons in 2021 than in 2020.
YOOBIC’s success drew widespread recognition from top analysts and industry groups.
