Since 1991, Quiktrak has served the industry with integrity, providing a high standard
of due diligence. Founded by Don and Greg Froomer, Quiktrak’s aim has been to serve
its clients, its employees and field staff, and its community. We are based in Beaverton,
Oregon, part of the Portland metro area, and work with a field staff covering the
United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
We pride ourselves at providing the best technology in the industry. However, our
true strength is impeccable service, attained by our outstanding team. We invite
you to learn more about our people and our community.
In April 1991, Don and Greg Froomer brought together 40 years of experience in leasing
and finance to form Quiktrak, filling a vital role in the financial risk management
community. The Froomers understood that financial institutions needed quick, reliable,
and accurate inspections to aid them in their funding process, and they further
recognised the wealth of benefits in having a trusted and reliable third party perform
this work.
Quiktrak's early growth and popularity quickly surged as the company expanded from
five western states to nationwide coverage in 1991. In 1995, coverage extended to
Canada, and by 2002, the United Kingdom. Quiktrak has been honoured several times
by the Oregon Business Journal as one of the "Top 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies"
in the state.
Using our proprietary Revoquest technology, Quiktrak has become the most efficient
and flexible collateral verification company in the industry. Employing a seamless
auditing system for both outsourced and non-outsourced audits allows equipment financiers
to maximise the efficiency of their auditing programs.
While technology is Quiktrak's greatest investment, its people are its greatest
asset. The internal culture is energetic, fun, and productive - making it one of
the best places to work in Portland. The management team goes to great measures
to empower the employees with knowledge of how their individual contributions can
help reach each year's corporate goals. A deep devotion to community service is
supported by an in-house community service group - Helping Hands.
