Kenect Celebrates Five Years of Growth on the Inc. 5000 List

We are thrilled to announce that Kenect has been recognized on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list for the fifth year in a row, ranking #1,863 among the fastest-growing companies in America and 33rd in Utah. We’re proud to be ranked 213th within the software industry and excited by the 234% growth we’ve experienced in the last 3 years. This remarkable achievement reflects not only our consistent growth but also our dedication to revolutionizing the dealership experience with innovative technology. It's a testament to the hard work of our team, the trust of our customers, and the bright future ahead as we continue to lead the industry forward.

A Journey of Innovation and Excellence

When we first set out to build Kenect, our mission was simple: to help dealerships build better relationships with their customers by making communication seamless, fast, and effective. Over the years, that vision has grown, and Kenect has evolved into something much more. Today, we are proud to serve over 10,000 dealerships across North America, providing cutting-edge solutions that transform how dealerships engage with customers.

Our core product, Kenect's communication platform, empowers dealerships with tools to connect with customers in real-time through text messaging, video, and chat. Whether it's for service reminders, sales inquiries, or customer support, Kenect has become the go-to solution for dealerships looking to improve customer engagement, reduce friction, and boost sales.

But we didn't stop there.

Era of AI-powered Solutions

In 2024, we took a bold step forward with the acquisition of AutoLabs, an AI-driven technology company. This acquisition was a game changer for Kenect. With AutoLabs' expertise in artificial intelligence, Kenect has expanded its capabilities, introducing powerful AI solutions to the dealership market. Now, Kenect is not only a communications platform but also an AI-driven powerhouse that provides dealerships with smart, automated solutions that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of every aspect of their business.

Kenect's AI solutions span various aspects of dealership operations, from sales to service, to lead generation and customer retention. Our AI-powered tools, like Voice AI and Engage AI, offer dealerships the ability to automate processes, personalize communication, and make data-driven decisions that enhance the customer experience and streamline business operations.

The future of dealership technology is in the hands of AI, and we're leading the charge.

5 Years on the Inc. 5000 List

Being named to the Inc. 5000 list for five years in a row is a reflection of the explosive growth we've experienced as a company. From a small startup to a major player in the automotive tech space, our journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. We’ve gone from offering text messaging solutions to delivering comprehensive AI-powered tools that support dealerships in every area of their business.

The growth is a direct result of our unwavering commitment to providing value to our customers. As we continue to innovate and improve our offerings, we aim to make dealerships more efficient, more profitable, and, most importantly, more connected to their customers.

The Road to the Future

While this milestone is a significant achievement, it’s just the beginning. Our vision for Kenect is bigger than ever. With the integration of AI technology and our ever-expanding customer base, we are positioned to continue driving growth and transforming the dealership landscape.

We are committed to continually enhancing our products, adding new features, and expanding our reach. As we look to the future, our goal is to empower more dealerships with the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly digital and AI-driven world.
