How did we get here?

ShortTrack was first built in response to managing the distressed real estate market in 2009.   In 2011, the direct operations of the Midwest’s two largest title companies began using ShortTrack’s software.  Since then, ShortTrack has continued its mission to make it simple for all stakeholders to collaborate securely in a transaction.  The details are in finding the perfect balance between simplicity and security…while never sacrificing security.

We believe that real estate agents are a key driver of a seamless closing experience.  In pioneering the connection between real estate and title, ShortTrack integrated with the real estate software applications dotloop, DocuSign Rooms, SkySlope, and zipLogix, and connected them to title software industry leaders RamQuest, ResWare, and SoftPro.   This connection, which allows data and documents to move efficiently and securely, became our flagship product, Easy OrdersTM.  To connect everyone, we continue to add more integrations.  Let us know what software you use, and we’ll let you know how soon we are to bringing it live!

Because data and document collection doesn’t stop at the order, ShortTrack has incorporated customizable web forms to securely collect additional customer data into EasyDocs.  Moreover, as electronic signatures have been adopted, ShortTrack has been able to provide title agents with its unrivaled DocuSign integration.   As we like to say, “It just shows up!”

Like all good things in the Midwest, we are home-grown with no outsourcing. If you’d like to join, drop us  a line!
