LocatePLUS CEO Jon Latorella stated, “We have entered into a data agreement that has increased our database of motor vehicle records by more than 20% in the U.S., while establishing a Canadian presence. This agreement provides us with a significant advantage in better serving our customers and increasing our potential revenues. Motor vehicle records are most often used as the critical first step towards validating a person’s identity and serve all our customer segments. Law enforcement, government and collection agencies are some of our customers who have requested drivers’ records that span multiple states in order to facilitate searches on individuals more effectively. With this new product expansion, we look forward to increasing our current user rates and extending our channel partnership agreements, translating to additional, top-line growth this year.”
