As Poslovni Dnevnik/Lucija Spiljak writes, the world’s leading ranking platform, Clutch, has published a list of the 1000 best companies in the global B2B market, which includes seventeen Croatian enterprises – in the very impressive seventh place, and also the best ranked Croatian company, is Infinum.
Among the top 100 are Q Agency and Five, followed by Gauss Development, Bornfight, Neuralab, Ars Futura, DECODE, Undabot, Netgen, Inchoo, Ingemark, Kontra, Cinnamon, Mono Software, Agency04 and Human.
Clutch 1000 represents only one percent of the best companies listed on the platform from around the world, specialising in the provision of various services.
They analyse each company based on four criteria – number, quality and latest reviews, the selection of clients with which the companies work, services they offer and user experience, as well as brand reputation and overall visibility in target markets.
“After an unpredictable year, with an impressive backdrop of services, skills and more, these companies are consistently proving their commitment to customers while remaining the best service providers in their fields,” said Clutch founder Mike Beares.
Most of the Croatian enterprises on this list are regularly on the list of the fastest growing companies across Central Europe and the EMEA region, and they have shown that even a global pandemic cannot slow down their growth.
The best-placed of the Croatian enterprises listed, Infinum, recently took over the Macedonian company 3P Development, which is their first acquisition and also their sixth office. Last year, in cooperation with Porsche Digital, they founded the Porsche Digital Croatia development centre which is based in Zagreb.
They announced expansion to the British market, brand development across the rest of Western Europe and continued their expansion over in the US where they are increasing the number of people on their team in New York. After Zagreb and Germany’s Hessen, Agency04 opened its third office in the very heart of Split, which exceeded 130 employees. Clutch’s new list coincided with the Best Employer Brand Awards Adria competition, in which Q won six awards.
With the new Clutch award, Osijek’s Mono Software is the overall winner and winner of the Financial Balance of the Financial Agency for the most successful enterprise according to the financial rating in 2020, and also the winner of the Golden Balance in the information and communication category.
Undabot, a Zagreb-based company for the design and development of mobile and web applications, recently won two prestigious international awards – for excellence on the web in the category “Application and mobile phones – Productivity” and W3 award in the category “Mobile features – Best use of mobile camera”.
Admittedly, the digital agency Five is no longer, technically, one of the Croatian enterprises, but it is worth recalling their success after their “exit” this year – Five (today Five Endava) was bought by the British Endava for a massive 250 million kuna.
Neuralab has been on Clutch’s list since back in 2017, and it is among the Top 1000 global agencies for the third year in a row and the first in the world in regard to WooCommerce technology. This is especially pleasing to director Kresimir Koncic, who duly noted that Clutch bases its assessment of companies on the so-called client audits that aren’t very easy to obtain.
“Neuralab has about 33 extremely positive reviews, ie audits on Clutch, but in reality we’ve completed more than 200 successful projects. Recognitions like this are a helping hand to our team because we’re constantly trying to improve our production. The whole of 2022 is practically reserved for projects and we’re going to spend the next year ironing out internal workflows, hiring new members of our programming team and increasing the quality of our web applications,” announced Koncic.
