Quiktrak, a global leader in asset verification and inventory audit solutions, announced it has been acquired by Paris-based Bureau Veritas, a world leader in testing, inspection and certification services. This acquisition allows Quiktrak to expand its services within Bureau Veritas’ more than 140 countries, making it a global one-stop shop for field inspections, verifications and inventory auditing services for the equipment leasing, commercial lending, wholesale credit and floorplan financing industries.

Under the agreement, Quiktrak CEO and President, Greg Froomer, will retain his position along with the current executive team. Quiktrak’s offices, operations and staff will remain at their headquarters in Beaverton, Ore. Customers will continue to receive the same level of service and support while gaining immediate access to new markets across the globe. This will include access to Bureau Veritas’ offices, multilingual tech support and on-the-ground audit team to begin expansion. With the acquisition, Bureau Veritas can leverage the power of the Revoquest system throughout its organization and strengthen its vehicle inspection position in the United States.

“We’re thrilled about this sale as it allows us to deliver new products and services to our clients and expand our business into new territories,” said Greg Froomer, CEO and president of Quiktrak. “In addition to our growth in North America, our strategy has always been to grow internationally as a result of client demand.
