MOUNT HOLLY, N.J., Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc. magazine today ranked PICS on the 2019 Inc. 5000 list with three-year revenue growth of 64%. The Inc. 5000 list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment — its independent small businesses. Microsoft, Dell, Domino's Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
"It's an incredible accomplishment and honor to be ranked on the Inc. 5000 list for the first time and to be included amongst the most successful companies in America," PICS co-founder Terry Rossi said. "When we started PICS, we saw an opportunity to help businesses better capitalize on the use of technology. That opportunity still exists today, and we are proud of the successes we help our clients achieve. This achievement validates the hard work of our team members and continues to give credit to the company's unique offerings in the market and to its people for driving this continued growth."
Not only have the companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. The 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 454 percent, and a median rate of 157 percent. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 1,216,308 jobs over the past three years.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
"The companies on this year's Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success," says Inc. Editor In Chief James Ledbetter. "There's no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities."
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list will be held Oct. 10-12, 2019, at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. As always, speakers include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.

They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent — not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies — as of Dec. 31, 2018.
