Pagero Group AB (publ) publishes Year End Report for the period January-December 2023
"During the year, Pagero's commercial expansion continued and the organization delivered an organic growth of 33% (23%) in net sales. Our strategy to grow the organization globally in parallel with our continued investment in product development has proven to be right. Have we reached the top of the global adaptation curve in the digitalization of business communications? No, the world has just begun to realize the automation potential of connecting business systems with each other, and authorities have just begun to realize the importance of digitally obtaining continuous reporting of business transactions, the primary basis of taxation. We are still just at the beginning of our journey", says Bengt Nilsson, CEO at Pagero.
