Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino's Pizza, LinkedIn, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 5000.
"We're thrilled to make the Inc. 5000 list this year, showing the expanding role technology is playing in the success of retailers," saidMarge Laney, Alert Tech CEO and President. "Companies are realizing the fitting room is their store's most valuable square footage, and the technology we provide helps retailers engage with their customers to increase sales."

It now provides proven strategies, technologies and training to retailers in more than 7,000 stores across 40 countries for clients such as American Eagle Outfitters, H&M, Calvin Klein, The Limited, Nike and more. Alert Tech's 'best in class' fitting room solution is a modular design that grows with retailers' needs, including physical installation, on-site service and support, and in-store training.

"With online competition, retailers are learning quickly that serving in-store customers and engaging them in the fitting room is the key to driving service and increased sales," said Laney. "It's the reason we've seen our business jump 142 percent over the past three years."
The 2015 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc., is the most competitive crop in the list's history.
