Geneva Finance (at time of testimonial)
Here at Geneva Finance, we find Desktop Trace to be a fast and an effective way to locate our missing clients. It takes only minutes to get an accurate location and other details, whereas it took several days to get the same information the old-fashioned way. The way Collections operates has changed and using a quality electronic location tool such as Desktop Trace gives us that edge. A bonus of this tool is its competitive pricing.

information is centralised and quick to access. With one click you have a
multitude of information at your fingertips which saves time and money.
Williams Investigations
Desktop Trace is an integral part of my investigations as Chéney’s search system combines information from a number of databases, meaning I have the best chance of capturing any digital footprint the subject may have left. I’ve had great success in locating particularly hard to find people, as well as getting detailed information on address searches – and the small cost of each search makes it a worthwhile investment. Chéney has done an amazing job at creating the right tool for the job and I’d thoroughly recommend Desktop Trace to any Investigator.
