The company achieved its largest gross bookings quarter ever, and net annual recurring revenue (ARR) expanded by over 40%, marking one of the company’s strongest growth periods in recent years. First orders grew more than 100% year-over-year, signaling successful new customer acquisition efforts, supported by a dedicated sales organization and product-led strategies designed to attract a broader range of customers.

Attrition rates declined for the second consecutive quarter, contributing to the strong bookings and net ARR growth.
