History

Radial was formed from the merger of Innotrac Corporation and the enterprise services unit of eBay Enterprise.[5]

Merger

Sterling Partners, a private equity firm, acquired Innotrac on January 6, 2014, for $8.20 per share.[6] The buyout totaled $108 million.[7] Innotrac provided customer support and fulfillment services to retailers, software providers, and telecommunications companies.[8]

On November 2, 2015, Sterling Partners acquired eBay Enterprise's operations and enterprise technology services division.[9] Sterling Partners planned to merge Innotrac and the group from eBay Enterprise.[10]

The combined company, Radial, was announced on April 19, 2016. Sterling Partners estimated Radial's initial value at more than $1 billion.[10]
