Case Study: Project N95 achieves scalable, faster PPE distribution with VTEX marketplace

VTEX and Loop Integration unlock a new phase for Project N95 with an online marketplace

Project N95 is the U.S. clearinghouse for sourcing critical PPE and COVID-19 tests; after launching an online marketplace in March 2020 the volunteer nonprofit rapidly outgrew its initial architecture as demand surged—having delivered over 8.4 million units and supplying more than 300,000 frontline workers. To scale quickly and improve buyer and seller workflows, Project N95 partnered with VTEX (with Loop Integration and AWS) to upgrade its marketplace and seller environment.

VTEX implemented a cloud-based, multi-tenant marketplace with gated customer segmentation, a posted-price storefront and an Order Management System to streamline seller onboarding, pricing and fulfillment. The VTEX-powered platform doubled average launch-day order volume, reduced customer order inquiries by 20%, expanded the catalog to 50+ products and helped deliver millions of PPE units (including 3.5M in three months), markedly improving outreach and delivery speed.
