The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. The article has plenty of references, but vast majority are either press releases or self-published (company's own website, etc.). There are few minor news stories but they mention the company in passing, discussing some of its products, or acquisitions (including a warehouse in Toronto...). I don't see what makes this company pass the notability criteria. Considering that this type of an article is usually created by a paid-for editor, I'd also like to ask its creator User:Rzafar if s/he would like to update his/her statement at User:Rzafar#Volunteer.2Fhired_Content about not having done any paid for articles? That statement is from June 2016 and this article suggest this may no longer be true. PS. Editors who comment here may want to see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/OConnect by the same user (but with even worse refs).
