Transportation Insight Marks a Decade of Recognition by Inc. 500|5000
HICKORY, NC (August 17, 2017) - Transportation Insight continues to fortify its position as one of the nation's most successful Enterprise Logistics Providers with its 10th consecutive appearance on the exclusive Inc. 500|5000 list of fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States. The multi-modal lead logistics provider is recognized as part of the Inc. 5000 Hall of Fame, a designation for a select few companies who have been honored on the Inc. list for at least five consecutive years. Only 98 of the 5,000 companies on the 2017 Inc. 500|5000 list have been among this elite group of prominent brands for 10 years or more.
Inc. Magazine ranked the Inc. 500|5000 according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2013 revenues to 2016 revenues. Transportation Insight's achievement of 138 percent gross revenue growth in the past three years represents an impressive growth rate that is a notable feat for a billion dollar company. According to gross revenue statistics available in the full Inc. 5000 list, Transportation Insight moves up to the No. 12 position among the Inc. 5000's largest companies based on revenue.
"Our long-term strategy of investing in best-in-class technology and building the strongest intellectual capital base in the logistics industry has given us the ability to provide shippers with the most holistic, multi-modal supply chain solutions in North America," says Transportation Insight Founder and Chairman Paul Thompson. "While our goal is to become the largest and most highly respected Enterprise Logistics Provider in North America, our continued rapid growth reflected by our position on the Inc. 5000 the past decade relies on our people and their passion for developing and executing data-driven logistics solutions that help our valued clients simplify the complex process of managing a global supply chain and continue to meet their own growth goals."
