Julie Miller of 4TEKGear.com explains how they were able to navigate the pandemic and still sustain explosive growth. 4TEKGear found success using technology to sell technology! That formula made it the fastest-growing company in the Charlotte Business Journal’s Fast 50 Awards program in 2020 and 5th fastest fastest-growing company in 2021.
The two questions asked were:
- How has your company continued to grow through the pandemic?
- What advice would you have given yourself to prepare for the pandemic?
A year later, after a global pandemic sent millions of workers home and made digital connectivity even more important, the York County-based reseller of IT products maintained its explosive growth. This year, 4TEKGear is ranked fifth among Fast 50 companies with a three-year average annual growth rate of 233%.
4TEKGear sells hardware, software and services — not directly to retail customers in the way a Best Buy would do, but mainly to IT professionals, data centers and organizations that have heavy IT infrastructure. Clients are all over world. 4TEKGear has partnerships with major manufacturers, eliminating the need for significant product warehousing. In 2020, as products became scarcer, 4TEKGear’s founders stepped up warehousing to stay ahead of the historic supply-chain disruptions.
