AI Enhancements & Real-Time Updates
We utilize advanced AI-driven document processing to ensure your data is accurate, and AI-enhanced skip tracing to help find individuals evading service. Our online dashboard monitoring system ensures that you are kept up-to-date on what’s happening with your service requests in real-time.
GPS Tracking and Service Geolocation
All serves are documented in the field using the real-time GPS coordinates of the server when your process is served. Where possible, service of your process will be accompanied by photographs that are automatically geo-tagged with the date, time, and location where they were taken.
Body-Worn Cameras
Service on individuals is captured using body-worn cameras for our safety, and to ensure that the circumstances are documented should the validity of service be called into question.
