Expanding fulfillment footprint and technology offerings drove new business and continued growth.
ATLANTA, November 22, 2024— Stord, a leading commerce enablement platform that provides fulfillment and technology for mid-market and enterprise brands, ranked on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™ for the second time in company history. The Fast 500 is a catalog of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech companies in North America, now in its 30th year.
“Stord has been seeing incredible growth and momentum, and this award is a testament to our market leadership,” said Jacob Boudreau, CTO and co-founder of Stord. “We continue to invest in the leading commerce enablement capabilities for our customers, and have completed several acquisitions, opened new fulfillment centers, built out new robotic automation, and dramatically expanded our commerce enablement software with our Consumer Experience suite and Shipping Protection. We are thrilled these efforts have been recognized by Deloitte, but are truly elated to see the real-world impact these expanded operational capabilities have provided for our hundreds of customers and the tens-of-millions of consumers we reach annually.”
“Innovation, transformation and disruption of the status quo are at the forefront for this year’s Technology Fast 500 list, and there’s no better way to celebrate 30 years of program history,” said Christie Simons, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP and industry leader for technology, media and telecommunications within Deloitte’s Audit & Assurance practice. “This year’s winning companies have demonstrated a continuous commitment to growth and remarkable consistency in driving forward progress. We extend our congratulations to all of this year’s winners — it’s an incredible time for innovation.”
Technology Fast 500 award winners are selected based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth from 2020-2023. In order to be eligible for recognition, companies must own proprietary intellectual property or technology that is sold to customers in products that contribute to a majority of the company’s operating revenues. Companies must have base-year operating revenues of at least US$50,000, and current-year operating revenues of at least US$5 million. Additionally, companies must be in business for a minimum of four years and be headquartered within North America.
“Over 10% of US homes received a shipment from Stord in the past year. In 2024, our technology and fulfillment services powered over $5 billion in commerce and proved invaluable for our hundreds of customers. Being named a Technology Fast 500 company for the second time is a tremendous honor, but more importantly, it underscores the criticality of how Stord levels the commerce playing field for brands of all sizes. By providing e-commerce businesses with the tools necessary to deliver a world-class consumer experience at scale, we help them grow revenue, save money, and delight their consumers. Thank you to Deloitte, and thank you to our customers for trusting us with your consumer experience,” said Sean Henry, CEO and co-founder of Stord.
