What if one click could clean customer info, correct fuzzy data, and quietly cut a third of your skips before they happen? That’s the promise Dan Jobrack of DataTrue brings to the shed and RTO world, where risk is high, margins are thin, and recovery costs pile up fast. We go deep on how front-end verification and back-end skip tracing can transform operations without ever touching a credit bureau.

Dan explains why blacklists are a trap for RTO companies that promise “no credit checks,” and how real-time verification checks names, addresses, phones, and references across 40 sources to standardize decisions. We explore the cost math most owners overlook—crew time, truck rolls, dead-end calls—and how eliminating fuzzy data upfront prevents expensive charge-offs later. When contracts go sideways, we unpack Pursue for locating skips through properties and relatives, plus Skip Find Plus, a long-term “watch” tool that surfaces new addresses and employers years later.

We also tackle thorny questions that shed pros keep asking. Should you use geotags to track buildings, or will trespass limits and device removal make them less useful than data-led recovery? Is it wise to label a returned building as a “repo,” or does “previously rented” protect both customer dignity and your reputation? Along the way, we highlight ethical referral marketing from verified contacts, seamless integrations with RTO platforms, and free training that makes clarity the default.

If you sell, rent, or recover sheds, trailers, or portable buildings, this conversation will sharpen your process and protect your bottom line. Subscribe, share, and leave a review so more builders and dealers can find the tools that keep promises honest and assets where they belong.
