Canadian Business and PROFIT recently ranked Karelab No. 48 on the 27th annual PROFIT 500, the definitive ranking of Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies. Published in the October issue of Canadian Business and at PROFITguide.com, the PROFIT 500 ranks Canadian businesses by their five-year revenue growth.

"The PROFIT 500 represent the highest tier of entrepreneurialism in Canada," says James Cowan, editor-in-chief of PROFIT and Canadian Business. "They should be lauded for the positive economic contributions they've made to their communities - and the entire country. They are examples of what can be accomplished with innovation, discipline and determination."

Karelab made the 2015 PROFIT 500 list with five-year revenue growth of 1 468%. Karelab CEO and founder Marc-André Lanciault is very happy about this rank: «We are incredibly proud to be part of the 2015 PROFIT 500. It is an indicator that our product as well as the passion, talent and energy of each and everyone of our employees contribute to the success of our clients, which then reflects our own success».

Karelab gained its rank by ingeniously fitting in between several markets: employee performance, employee recognition and employee rewards. Karelab created a unique product based on game mechanics and found its own place on a competitive market. The Gamification Platform includes interaction and learning modules, motivation campaigns, games, quizz… Karelab recently published a white paper explaining how gamification can be implemented in unlikely environments like sales, marketing and human resources departments. This publication explains, for the first time in Québec, how to implement gamification in organisations and why 50% are already using it to reach their goals.
