Core ICP: B2B Customers (Approximately 80 Percent of Revenue)
1. Primary Target Industries
These industries consistently generate repeat testing volume and long term relationships.
Construction Companies
Construction firms rely on drug testing to maintain safe jobsites and meet insurance and regulatory requirements. They often face high employee turnover, frequent hiring, and post accident testing needs. Fast turnaround times are critical because downtime directly impacts job completion and labor costs.
Why they are ideal:
- Ongoing pre employment, random, and post accident testing
- High financial cost of delays and failed compliance
- Strong need for local, responsive partners
Transportation and DOT Regulated Companies
DOT regulated employers require strict compliance with federal testing rules. This includes pre employment, random, reasonable suspicion, post accident, and return to duty testing. Speed and accuracy are essential because drivers cannot operate until requirements are met.
Why they are ideal:
- Mandatory, non optional testing requirements
- Predictable, recurring testing volume
- High risk tolerance for errors or delays
- Strong fit for rapid testing and mobile services
Home Services Companies
This includes HVAC, plumbing, electrical, restoration, landscaping, and similar trades. These businesses depend on technicians being in the field and billable. A delayed test means lost revenue and unhappy customers.
Why they are ideal:
- Constant hiring and seasonal growth
- High sensitivity to speed and scheduling
- Owner operators who value simplicity and local relationships
Staffing and Workforce Solutions
Staffing agencies act as force multipliers by sending multiple clients through testing programs. They need fast, reliable turnaround to place candidates quickly.
Why they are ideal:
- High volume testing
- Centralized decision makers
- Long term contracts once trust is established
- Strong alignment with speed to productivity messaging
2. Government, Tribal, and Institutional Clients
These organizations represent high value, stable contracts with consistent volume.
Tribal Organizations
Tribal governments and enterprises often prefer third party testing providers to ensure confidentiality, neutrality, and professionalism. These accounts frequently generate significant annual revenue.
Why they are ideal:
- Strong preference for external testing partners
- Large employee populations
- Long term agreements with predictable revenue
- High trust once relationships are established
Government and County Departments
Local, state, and county agencies require compliant testing services, often under contract. Examples include transportation departments, social services, and public works.
Why they are ideal:
- Contract based recurring revenue
- Clear compliance requirements
- Budgeted, repeat testing volume
- Long sales cycle but strong retention
4. Ideal Company Size
Fastest Labs serves multiple company sizes, but the most valuable profiles include:
Small to Mid Sized Employers
These companies often lack internal HR infrastructure and want a partner who can guide them through compliance. Many struggle with delays from traditional labs and are open to switching for speed and service.
Large Employers and Enterprises
Companies with 1,000 or more employees typically require quarterly or ongoing relationship management, reporting, and coordination across departments.
Fleet Operators
Fleet based businesses are especially sensitive to downtime. Every hour a driver is waiting on results is lost revenue.
Secondary ICP: B2C Customers (Approximately 20 Percent of Revenue)
While B2C is not the primary growth driver, it plays an important role in brand presence and steady daily volume.
Individual Testing Needs
- Court ordered drug and alcohol testing
- Probation and monitoring programs
- Employer directed individual testing
DNA and Specialty Testing
- Paternity and family DNA testing
- Legal DNA testing
- Hair testing for extended detection windows
B2C customers are typically one time or episodic, but they help fill schedules and increase community awareness.
