Order a “QuikTrak”

Last November, 2005, the Beaverton, Oregon, QuikTrak Board of Directors unanimously voted to place Matt Hennessee on indefinite administrative leave status from his position as president, CEO and director.

The move was prompted by personal issues of which company officials had been unaware prior to newspaper articles. At the time, Greg Froomer, a QuikTrak senior vice president and company co-founder, has been appointed interim president and CEO. Greg Froomer remains as Chief Executive Officer with his founder and father Don Froomer as the Chairman of the Board. (see above “Pictures from the Past for Froomer in 1987.”)

April 1, 2006, QuikTrak, Inc. celebrated fifteen years in business, ready to launch a new technology standard for inspection services, plus now services both national and international clients throughout North America and Europe.

“We founded the business on April 1, 1991 in Woodland Hills, California to offer the leasing and financial community a new level of inspection related services,” said founder Don Froomer.

“Our previous experience in the leasing and finance business gave us an insider's perspective on the importance of a quality inspection and fraud prevention program,” Greg Froomer said, who runs the company on a daily basis.

“The reinsertions of Don and Greg at the helm have done two amazing things for QuikTrak,” said Katie Dunwell, Director of Marketing and Sales Inspection Services. “(It has) taken us back to the strength of our original founders, and created an Executive Team that is not only experienced but agile.

“The transformation at QuikTrak has been truly exciting for the company. The swiftness and integrity of our Board in dealing with the events of November not only made us a stronger organization, but reminded us what is important in our business, integrity, service and honesty.

“Our innovation has been the central component of our success,” adds Mark Abrams, Vice President of Technology & Engineering, “Leveraging our industry experience has also allowed us to efficiently serve our clients, as we anticipate their needs and develop robust technology solutions. The QuikTrak model for providing fast and accurate service has become the standard for the industry, as QuikTrak clients often comment that rather than ordering an inspection, they order a “QuikTrak.”

The company's original service team included Mark Abrams, and Kim Plutte, now Vice President of Business Development & International., and Vice President of Technology & Engineering, respectively.

Originally successful for providing on-time inspections, QuikTrak has became an industry leader in introducing transaction-based ordering and web-based systems for both inventory and inspection service customers. The company has many Fortune 500 clients, including John Deere, Harley-Davidson, and U.S. Bank Equipment Finance.

Congratulations on their 15 year anniversary.
