BURLINGTON, Mass., May 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profitect Inc., the leading prescriptive analytics provider for the retail and CPG industry, today announced the company experienced 182 percent year-over-year revenue growth. This growth was driven by market momentum and enthusiasm for the company’s award-winning prescriptive analytics solution. Profitect also grew the number of retail location deployments to 53,000+, supporting more than 40,000 concurrent users.
Company Growth
In addition to customer growth, Profitect also grew internally, expanding headcount 137 percent over the past 12 months.

Profitect also reached gender parity within the organization across all levels of the business. Notably, the management team is 50 percent female, with women heading up the company’s finance, marketing, program management, human resources, and customer success departments. Last year, Profitect also announced the addition of Andrea Weiss to its Board of Directors, joining Janice Roberts of Benhamou Global Ventures.
