Tradavo Named to Inc. Magazine's List of America's 500 Fastest-Growing Private Companies


DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - Sep 21, 2011) - Inc. magazine ranked TRADAVO No. 191 on its 30th Annual Inc. 500 List, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. This list represents a comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy -- America's independent entrepreneurs -- and has generated early exposure for companies including Microsoft, Zappos, Intuit, Jamba Juice, Zipcar, Clif Bar, Vizio and Oracle.

Tradavo, Inc. (www.tradavo.com), based in Lakewood, Colo., supplies small retailers with easy access to wholesale snacks, beverages, sundries and electronics using a web-based ordering platform that offers unprecedented purchasing leverage and product assortment for low-volume buyers. As a result, thousands of independent retailers now have access to a retail supply program that was once available only to larger chain stores.

"Small format retailers have struggled for years to meet the minimums of traditional truck distributors," states Janine Roberts, VP of Sales and Marketing. "Tradavo is not only able to accommodate much lower quantities than traditional distributors; our comprehensive retail expertise allows us to deliver much greater economic value than the alternatives."

Tradavo ranked high on the Inc. 500 List due to revenues of $9.8 million and a 3-year growth performance of 1578.2 percent. President and CEO Bobby Martyna explains, "Tradavo's phenomenal growth is testament to the unique benefits we provide the small retailer, which stems from our proprietary online platform and deep retail expertise. Our customers are able to sell a much wider assortment, making them more attractive places for consumers to shop."

By consolidating ordering, invoice management and deliveries into a single online platform, Tradavo eliminates the complicated process of sourcing from multiple distributors with a variety of requirements and invoicing procedures. Martyna concludes, "Small business owners not only love the low minimums and wide assortment, they absolutely love the convenience, too. It's a win-win all around."
