COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARCOS LLC has again won a place on the Columbus Business First Fast 50 – the annual list of the 50 fastest-growing emerging companies in Central Ohio. This year ARCOS ranks #38, at 31.8 percent growth. The Fast 50 Award recognizes companies for financial growth and performance over the past three years. ARCOS has made the list ten times in the last 12 years. Of the nearly 460 companies on the list since it began in 1996, only two – Progressive Medical, Inc. (14 years) and Sequent (12 years) – have appeared more times than ARCOS.
“Being on this list year after year is a testament to our employees and their commitment, teamwork and responsibility,” said Bruce Duff, chief executive officer of ARCOS LLC. “They’ve built a bond with our customers that’s unheard of – 100 percent of our clients are referenceable; we have a 100-percent success rate implementing our technology.
“We’re committed to solving the toughest challenges for our customers who work for utilities, airlines and other critical infrastructure companies,” added Duff. “We help them respond with crews, restore service and report the outcomes during daily business disruptions or outright emergencies.”
Since appearing on the 2017 Fast 50 list, ARCOS acquired Des Moines, Iowa, RosterApps to expand its offering for the airline industry with ground crew-management and scheduling software.
Mitch McLeod, founder of ARCOS, laid the foundation for the company’s early success by identifying a crucial need in the utility industry to accurately track restoration time and speed up crew mobilization. Since then, more than eighty-seven percent of U.S. households are served by utilities that use ARCOS technology.
Today, North American electric, gas and water utilities along with power generation plants, major airlines, manufacturers and industrial facilities rely on ARCOS to keep operations running. ARCOS resource management solutions help customers respond to after-hours and major events; restore service by quickly and safely assembling crews; and report the outcome to executives, employees, first responders, regulators, media and the public.
The ARCOS® Callout and Scheduling Suite is a SaaS platform for managers to automatically assemble available crews, analyze crew response and report outcomes. The ARCOS Damage Assessment solution helps utilities shorten the process of surveying damage caused by major events like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma from days to hours. ARCOS Resource Assist™ automates the manual process of requesting and managing third-party resources and equipment.
