Inc. Names Wisconsin's Applied Data Consultants to 2020 List of Best Workplaces
Recognition is awarded for creating a culture where team members enjoy coming to work in an environment that is fun and collaborative.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis., May 7, 2020 (Newswire.com) - Inc. Magazine has named Wisconsin-based company Applied Data Consultants (ADC), owner of the advanced dispatch software Elite EXTRA, one of the Best Workplaces in 2020. This list is based on an anonymous Quantum Workplace survey of employees’ thoughts about their company.
ADC was one of only five finalists from Wisconsin and was selected from nearly 3,000 overall submissions; it is the only company to receive the award outside of the metropolitan areas of Milwaukee and Madison.
Founder and President Jim Ward said winning the award is not only a great testament to the team, but the survey results provide insight into ways to make the company culture and employee engagement even stronger.
“Our team is our greatest strength, and having a work culture where people want to come together to collaborate and innovate every day is fundamental to who we are as a company,” said Ward.
The company, which provides advanced dispatch management software to a user base of over 100,000 globally, has seen its platform for last-mile deliveries grow as consumers are demanding the need to deliver quickly, efficiently, and safely during the crisis. New features, such as external delivery services that employ crowdsourced drivers to help with driver shortages, along with an On-Demand feature, which calls in couriers, have been extremely popular with the increased demand.
After having just celebrated a groundbreaking ceremony for a new 6,000 square foot building, Ward sent out a memo requiring all employees to work remotely until instructed otherwise. The company has been operating remotely since then, without any interruption to service. It has also donated its technology locally to businesses that needed to get into the delivery business quickly as a result of COVID-19.
“Technology and dealing with Wisconsin’s harsh winters has positioned us to work remotely with ease. Through it all, we’ve continued to stay close, communicate well, and work hard, all while providing the same great service that our customers have come to expect,” said Ward. “In fact, we’ve helped some companies grow through these times with some of the new innovations we have developed.”
