TAMPA, FL--(Marketwire - Aug 1, 2012) - For the third consecutive year, FreightCenter.com has been recognized for its sustainable business model and total revenue gain by the "Tampa Bay Business Journal," earning the publication's 2012 "Fast-50" list.
"Over the past four years, we've identified new standards for success," said Matthew Brosious, chief executive officer and co-founder of FreightCenter.com. "Doubling revenues generated by effective freight processing has become an annual benchmark."
While many businesses were beginning to feel the sting of the recession in 2008, FreightCenter, an online freight shipping service provider and freight software developer, was just hitting its stride.
It has grown a remarkable 135 percent from 2009 to 2011, according to CBIZ Kirkland Russ Murphy & Tapp, a public accounting firm based in Clearwater, Fla. The freight software provider has doubled the annual revenue it generates by helping more than 1 million shippers secure volume-discounted freight pricing from reliable nationwide carriers.
"Our business model is unique in that we hire in-house developers to create the freight software we use internally to process shipments, as well as license externally to businesses that need a method of managing inbound and outbound freight shipments," said Doug Walls, chief information officer for the company.
