They now have more than 1 million square feet of omnichannel distribution and fulfillment space, dedicated fleet operations across the United States, an asset-lite transportation division that ranks in the Top 50 in North America (out of more than 20,000), more than 600 employees, and are nearing $350M in annual revenue.
The Core Values which ITS was founded on have been integral in driving this impressive growth, and the company continues to prioritize their employees, customers and giving back to their communities.
