Planbox is recognized as a fastest-growing company in North America

Montreal, Canada — Planbox, a pioneer in cloud-based, AI-powered agile innovation management solutions, today announced it has ranked among the fastest-growing companies in the Deloitte North America Technology Fast 500.

Technology Fast 500 awardees are selected based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth from 2016 to 2019. To qualify, companies must have been in business for at least four years, have revenues of at least $US5 million, be headquartered in North America and own proprietary technology. Planbox earned its position after reporting a growth rate of 426% over a three-year period from 2016 to 2019.

“For more than 25 years, we’ve been honoring companies that define the cutting edge and this year’s Technology Fast 500 list is proof positive that technology — from software and digital media platforms, to biotech — truly does permeate so many facets of our lives,” said Paul Silverglate, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology sector leader. “We congratulate this year’s winners, especially during a time when innovation is needed more than ever to address the monumental challenges posed by the pandemic.”

Planbox was also named a Top Growing Company by the Globe and Mail in the 2020 Report on Business, ranking among the boldest businesses in the country. Earlier this year, and prior to its acquisition of IdeaConnection, Planbox was recognized as the top-ranking innovation platform software provider, having received the highest score in strategy and current offering in the Forrester Wave: Innovation Management Platforms, Q1 2020.

“Planbox’s growth speaks to the modern business imperative for customer-obsessed organizations to adapt and stay resilient in a continuous and sustainable manner,” said Arthur Liberian, Senior Innovation Advisor at Planbox. “We’re excited to share this honor with some of the most innovative companies in the world who leverage our Agile Innovation platform to discover and action on new opportunities and extend their market advantage.”
