Leading agile innovation platform ranks among the boldest businesses in the country
Montreal, Quebec — Planbox, a pioneer in cloud-based, AI-powered agile innovation management solutions, today announced it has been named one of the top growing companies based on three-year revenue growth in the 2020 Report on Business by The Globe and Mail.
Launched in 2019, the Globe and Mail’s editorial ranking aims to celebrate entrepreneurial achievement by identifying and amplifying the success of growth-minded, independent businesses. Planbox earned its spot with a three-year revenue growth of 426% from 2016 to 2019.
“This achievement is a testament to the incredible strides our team has made and continues to make since inception 5 years ago,” said Arthur Liberian, Senior Innovation Advisor at Planbox. “We’re in the business of helping multinational organizations achieve operational agility and resilience so they can better pivot in the face of fluctuating demands and market disruptions.”
Although the report was conducted prior to the pandemic, the Globe and Mail notes many of the businesses on the list were able to adapt, innovate and even expand despite the challenges of the last few months; Planbox is one such business, having recently completed the acquisition of IdeaConnection, an open innovation platform and a global expert solver network.
Planbox was also recognized as the top-ranking innovation platform software provider recently, having received the highest score in strategy and current offering in the Forrester Wave: Innovation Management Platforms, Q1 2020.
“The resilience and innovative spirit that our customers have demonstrated in the wake of the global health crisis is a source of inspiration for both our team and our community,” said Sara Husk, Chief Customer Officer at Planbox. “We’re thankful to work with and support growth-minded organizations who in turn show us and our community how to be the best version of ourselves. Ultimately, that’s what Planbox is all about.”
