Retail & CPG Data Leader Crisp Recognized as a 2025 Inc. Power Partner Award Winner

The annual list recognizes the leading B2B companies that have proven track records of supporting entrepreneurs and helping companies grow.

BENTONVILLE, Ark., November 5, 2025 Crisp, the leading collaborative commerce platform for retail data, is proud to announce its recognition on the Inc. Power Partner Awards. The prestigious list honors B2B organizations that have proven track records supporting entrepreneurs and helping startups grow. 

Companies on the Inc. Power Partner list received top marks from clients for being instrumental in helping leadership navigate the dynamic world of startups. These B2B partners support entrepreneurs across various facets of the business, including hiring, compliance, infrastructure development, cloud migration, fundraising, and more, allowing founders to focus on their core missions. 

“The entrepreneurial journey and community are core to Inc.’s mission, and it’s a true honor to celebrate this year’s Inc. Power Partners — the companies dedicated to helping small businesses and entrepreneurs,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “Whether they’re coordinating complex marketing campaigns or reliably supporting the day-to-day infrastructure of growing companies, these honorees aren’t simply B2B providers — they are true partners in helping businesses grow and succeed.”  

Inc. Power Partner companies are chosen in part based on real client input from surveys. Crisp received stellar feedback on the value of the products and services the company provides, and how it stacks up to others in the market. The award methodology also accounts for ratings based on an extensive examination of online sentiment, and research and analysis of available, open-source data by Inc. reporters. 

“Our definition of a ‘Power Partner’ is one who goes above and beyond in service to their clients, always supporting the customer’s overarching business and growth goals,” said Are Traasdahl, CEO and founder at Crisp. “This award celebrates Crisp as a partner who delivers exactly that – and is trusted by businesses to help them expand, scale and thrive.”

Brands across a range of retail and CPG segments rely on Crisp to cleanse, model and interpret an array of diverse data sets, deliver and elevate real-time business insights, optimize product inventory, delivery, marketing efforts and more. With Crisp, brands can replace outdated manual data management practices, reduce food waste across the supply chain, cut costs and ensure that products are exactly where they need to be, speeding up the critical decision-making that measurably improves operational performance. 

“You could spend days, weeks, months on analysis of raw data and still not get the level of visibility we have in Crisp,” said Katie Asleson, category manager, Pet, J.M. Smucker Co.
