MBSi Announces Partnership with LocateSmarter

New partnership brings verified registration, location data, and contact information directly into RecoveryConnect, reducing search time and accelerating repossession timelines

Medford, MA, March 31, 2026 – MBSi and LocateSmarter announced a partnership that will integrate DMV vehicle registration, location data, and valuable contact information directly into RecoveryConnect. This partnership significantly expands the data currently available within RecoveryConnect to help support recovery agents in their lite skip tracing efforts by streamlining data workflows, enhancing location accuracy, and accelerating recovery timelines. The integration will be on display at the North American Repossessors Summit (NARS) where attendees can see it firsthand at the MBSi booth (#56).

LocateSmarter is an industry-leading data and analytics company providing invaluable skip tracing tools through its InvestigateSmarter solution. The best-in-class solution provides access to DMV vehicle ownership data, such as verified vehicle registration, lien holder, and contact information that leads to smarter recoveries. The integration into RecoveryConnect allows for actionable searches within a single platform, saving time, reducing friction, and leading to faster repossessions. Agents using LocateSmarter’s DMV data have reported up to a 15% lift in first-night repossession rate using insights from the platform.

“Recovery agents have enough on their plates and should not have to jump between platforms to get the data they need,” said Alex Price, Director of Training & Development at LocateSmarter. “By integrating our DMV Lite Data Report into RecoveryConnect, we’re putting verified ownership data one step closer to the decision that matters—the recovery itself. We look forward to building on this momentum with MBSi.”

“LocateSmarter is the latest partner helping us align critical data sources within RecoveryConnect, giving agents direct access to skip tracing data within our platform,” says Heather Ford, SVP of Product & Marketing at MBSi. “This is exactly the kind of partnership that moves the industry forward — better data, less friction, stronger results for our clients.”
