About Us
Who are we?
We didn’t create the Desktop Trace tool from nothing – we’ve been searching for people for years! Through our previous private investigation business, Desktop Investigations, we’ve helped clients locate thousands of debtors who’ve skipped payment, and other things…
We know the ins and outs of fine-tuning search requirements and finding clear answers quickly. We saw the need in the industry to create a professional level skip tracing system which was accessible, affordable, easy-to-use and highly functional, which is why we developed Desktop Trace.
