Axtria, a leader in Data Analytics software and services, has been Ranked 11th on New Jersey’s 2015 50 Fastest Growing Companies by NJBIZ (New Jersey’s premiere business news publication). We are glad to share that Axtria has achieved this feat for the second year in a row.
The NJBIZ 50 Fastest Growing Companies awards program celebrates New Jersey’s most dynamic companies who progressively contribute to the success of the state’s economic growth and stability. To qualify, companies had to meet selection criteria that included a revenue size of at least $500,000 within the past two out of three years and growth in revenue over a three year period, dating from the fiscal year 2012 to 2014.
The NJBIZ recognition follows Axtria being featured for the second year in a row on the Inc.5000 list in August 2015 and also being selected as a Red Herring Top 100 North America winner in June 2015.
For years, there was little innovation in eCommerce (both in technology and business model). Online price comparisons was the biggest (and pretty much only) value-add for consumers for many years.
This has changed in the last 3-4 years – think Social Commerce, Group Shopping, Private Sales, Open Source Technologies, Effectiveness of Marketplaces and Mashups to name a few. All this has led to great shopping experiences.
Then there are other factors – market growth and potential (only about 6% of retail is online, but influences about 80% in most segments), more and more consumers are comfortable shopping online, capital efficiency of setting up a business, easy (and relatively) immediate validation of business models, and still a huge potential for improvements on all ends – customer experience, supply chain, shipping & handling.
It is not hard for anyone to notice this potential. For VCs, well, it is their bread & butter!
