Inc. Magazine Includes Pedigree Technologies on Its Annual Exclusive List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies — the Inc. 500 | 5000
FARGO, N.D. — For the third consecutive year, Inc. magazine has ranked Pedigree Technologies on its eighth annual Inc. 500|5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy — America’s independent entrepreneurs.
“We are thrilled to have made it on the Inc. 500|5000 list for the third year in a row,” said Alex Warner, Founder and CEO of Pedigree Technologies. “This award reflects the hard work and dedication of our employees, who directly contributed to the company’s rapid growth. We are in an exciting sector, combining Machine-to-Machine and Internet of Things technologies with cloud and mobile software solutions for our customers in the energy sector. Our success speaks not only to demand for these solutions, but to the quality and innovation of our web-based software and services, which enables our customers to streamline their company operations in real-time.”
The Fargo-based technology company operates in the fast-growing sector of machine-to-machine (M2M) technology. Pedigree Technologies OneView® is a centralized operations command center for tacking and managing trucks, tanks, heavy equipment, and many other assets. Pedigree Technologies’ tablet and smartphone applications connect remote workers to the home office, allowing companies to gather and respond to workforce data. Built on a unique and scalable platform, these solutions bring together disparate information to help companies increase operational efficiencies, improve workflow, manage logistics, and maintain equipment — all in one simple system.
“We are truly honored by this recognition, which is directly attributable to our hardworking employees, outstanding product and loyal customers,” Warner added.
This year, more startup companies were recognized than global or franchise companies combined. Over 85,000 jobs were created by honorees in the past three years, and aggregate revenue among the honorees reached $216 billion.
Pedigree Technologies is headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota and operates satellite locations in Boston; Denver; Dickinson, ND; Houston; New Orleans; Minneapolis; and Tampa.
