Nearly two dozen logistics firms have been named among North America’s fastest-growing companies. 

Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 list, which was announced Wednesday, is a ranking of the fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech and energy tech companies in North America.

Four of the logistics companies that made the list are represented in the top 25: Takeoff Technologies, Fluid Truck, Emerge and Stord

Loadsmart, a Chicago-based logistics solutions provider that automates freight pricing, booking and shipping, also made the list at No. 214. Earlier this year, the company was named to the 2023 FreightTech 100, a selection of the most innovative companies in the freight technology space. 


Chattanooga, Tennessee-based FreightWaves also made the Deloitte list, its second time in as many years.

Winners are selected based on percentage fiscal-year revenue growth during the period from 2018-21, according to Deloitte. Overall, the 2022 Technology Fast 500 companies achieved revenue growth ranging from 241% to 125,138% over the three-year time frame, with a median growth rate of 611%.

In order to be eligible for Technology Fast 500 recognition, companies must own proprietary intellectual property or technology that is sold to customers in products that contribute to a majority of their operating revenues, according to Deloitte. Companies must have base-year operating revenues of at least $50,000 and current-year operating revenues of at least $5 million. 


Additionally, companies must be in business for a minimum of four years and be headquartered within North America.
