Bitfreighter Ranks No. 194 on 2025 Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies
3-Year Growth of 2,010% Recognizes Bitfreighter’s Breakthrough Logistics Connectivity Platform
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 12, 2025 — Bitfreighter, the logistics connectivity platform that enables shippers and brokers to exchange unlimited EDI and API messages, today announced its debut ranking on the annual Inc. 5000 list, landing at No. 194 overall, No. 7 in IT Services nationwide, No. 1 in IT Services in Tennessee, and No. 7 across all companies in Tennessee.
The Inc. 5000 is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies, honoring businesses that represent the bold, innovative spirit driving the American economy. With 2,010% three-year revenue growth, Bitfreighter joins the ranks of past honorees including Microsoft, Meta, and Oracle.
“From day one, Bitfreighter was built to remove barriers,” said Brad Perling, CEO and Founder of Bitfreighter. “Traditional EDI vendors made connectivity unpredictable and expensive, charging by the character and slowing down integrations. We believed unlimited messaging and deep TMS integrations should be possible—and scalable—for every logistics company. This recognition proves that betting on our customers and their success was the right path.”
Breaking Barriers in Freight Connectivity
Bitfreighter has quickly become the partner of choice for logistics companies across North America, serving more than 160 customers and powering billions of transactions annually. Its flagship products—ShipperConnect and LiveQuote—help brokers and carriers streamline freight operations from quoting to invoicing.
In 2024 alone, Bitfreighter:
Processed 69 million EDI messages (+494% MoM, +246% YoY 3-year growth)
Facilitated $10.1 billion in API quotes across 9.3 million transactions
Completed 153 TMS integrations (132 shipper, 21 broker)
Achieved 110% subscription growth year-over-year
“We’re proud to stand out as a bootstrapped, customer-funded business,” Perling added. “Bitfreighter didn’t raise institutional money to get here—our customers funded our growth because they believed in a better way to connect.”
Customer-Backed Growth Model
Bitfreighter’s unique fractional ownership program allowed its earliest customers to back the platform financially, aligning long-term growth with their operational success. This partnership-driven approach helped the company land its first nine enterprise customers and scale rapidly while staying profitable.
“Our growth story is a direct reflection of the logistics community believing in us,” said Jeff Sommer, COO & CFO of Bitfreighter. “We are grateful for every customer who chose to trust us with the cornerstone of their business—connecting with their shippers.”
Building Momentum
The company’s impact extends beyond technology. Each year, Bitfreighter hosts the Karen Cameron ALS User Golf Tournament & Integrated Tech Summit, raising tens of thousands for the ALS Association while bringing together leaders from across logistics and supply chain.
“Being recognized on the Inc. 5000 is special, but we’re just getting started,” Perling said. “Bitfreighter is willing to do the hard things—like making unlimited EDI possible—because our mission is bigger than us. It’s about changing how people connect in logistics and giving back to the industry that’s given us so much.”
