Charlotte, NC — October 7, 2020 — PetScreening announced today that it has been named the Business Impact SMB winner in the 2020 Blue Diamond Awards. This annual award recognizes an individual small-to-medium business company (1 to 999 employees) within the Greater Charlotte region that achieves the greatest business impact via the deployment and use of nominated information technology solutions.
For more than 30 years, the Blue Diamond Awards, presented by the Charlotte Area Technology Collaborative (CATC), have recognized Charlotte’s best in technology achievement.
