Our Group COO Phil Smith has been discussing the benefits of using the Trakk system from Komgo for document verification.

Making sure you have complete confidence in Henry Bath allows us to build exceptional and long-standing relationships with you, our valued client and we are continually looking for ways to enhance the levels of security and peace of mind we can offer.

Trakk is a tool to increase the security of digital documents exchanged via email to assist with managing operational risk and provides a quick, efficient, and most importantly, an accurate way to verify a valid Henry Bath document. Using Trakk creates a digital audit trail against a document, that will strongly mitigate the risk of it being reused for fraudulent purposes.

Across all Henry Bath locations, documents relating to title transfer and ownership can be uploaded to Trakk, which adds a unique banner to the document. All Trakk registered documents can be verified via the Henry Bath website, where all you need to do is drag and drop the document into the dedicated space
