Every skip tracing source. Single pane of glass.
Imbue is a forthcoming platform that connects the skip tracing providers and data repositories you rely on into a single, unified workspace. Select your sources, run one search or thousands, and review consolidated results in one place, under one account and one bill.
- Bulk query many sources at once
- Consolidated, de-duplicated results
- One account, one invoice
The challenge
Skip tracing is fragmented. Your workflow shouldn’t be.
No single provider holds the complete picture. To locate a person with confidence, investigators routinely check several platforms and repositories, each with its own interface, contract and invoice. The result is time lost to administration rather than resolution.
Too many bills
Multiple subscriptions, minimum commitments, top-ups and invoices to reconcile, approve and allocate every month.
Manual cross-referencing
Re-keying the same subject into one system after another, then comparing results by hand in spreadsheets and notes.
Slow turnaround
Searching providers one at a time stretches the time to locate, delaying contact, service and recovery outcomes.
Inconsistent data
Every source formats records differently, making it hard to see where results agree, conflict or overlap.
Scattered records
Search history and usage are spread across vendors, complicating oversight, cost tracking and internal review.

How it works
Imbue your search with a network of intelligence
Imbue sits above the skip tracing ecosystem as a single point of access. It orchestrates your query across the platforms and repositories you choose, then brings the answers back together.
Select your sources
Choose any combination of connected skip tracing platforms and data repositories for each search, or save preferred source sets for repeat work.
Submit one or many
Run a single subject search, or upload a batch file such as a CSV to process large volumes of records in one bulk request.
Query in parallel
Imbue fans your request out to every selected source simultaneously, so you are not waiting on one provider before trying the next.
Review in one view
Results are normalised, matched and de-duplicated into a consolidated record, with each data point attributed to its source.
Single pane of glass
One workspace in front of the whole network
Rather than replacing the providers you trust, Imbue integrates with them. You keep the breadth and depth of many data sources, while your team works from one consistent interface.
Capabilities
Built for high-volume, high-stakes tracing
Imbue is being designed around the way skip tracing teams actually work, from a single urgent locate to large portfolio-scale batches.
Multi-provider integration
Connect to a growing network of skip tracing platforms and data repositories through one integration layer.
Bulk and batch querying
Submit any number of records against any number of selected sources in a single operation, with progress tracking throughout.
Normalisation and de-duplication
Disparate formats are standardised and overlapping records merged, so you see one clear picture rather than many partial ones.
Source attribution
Every address, phone number and data point shows where it came from, helping you weigh corroborated results.
Configurable source sets
Choose which providers to query per search or per batch, and save presets that match your process and budget.
Export and workflow ready
Download consolidated results in practical formats for your case management, collections or CRM systems.
Team access and roles
Add users under one organisation account, with role-based permissions controlling who can search and what they can see.
Usage visibility
See search activity and spend across every source, user and matter from a single dashboard.
One account · One bill
Lose the billing burden, keep the coverage
Maintaining accounts with many providers means many contracts, many top-ups and many invoices. Imbue consolidates access to the network behind a single account, so your finance team deals with one supplier and one statement.
- One relationship in place of separate billing arrangements with each provider.
- One consolidated invoice covering usage across every source you query.
- Itemised usage by source, user and batch for clear cost allocation.
- Freedom to try new sources without opening another account.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Imbue?
Imbue is a forthcoming skip tracing platform from Imbue Network Pty Ltd. It integrates multiple skip tracing platforms and data repositories into a single pane of glass, so you can query many sources at once and review consolidated results in one place.
Does Imbue replace my existing providers?
No. Imbue is an aggregation layer that works with skip tracing providers rather than competing with them. It gives you access to many sources through one interface, one account and one bill.
Can I choose which sources are searched?
Yes. You select which platforms and repositories to query for each search or batch, and can save preferred combinations to suit different types of work and budgets.
Can I run searches in bulk?
Yes. Bulk querying is central to Imbue. You will be able to upload a batch of records, for example as a CSV file, and run them against any number of selected sources in a single request.
How does billing work?
Instead of maintaining separate billing accounts with each provider, you hold one account with Imbue and receive one consolidated invoice, itemised by source and usage. Pricing details will be shared with early-access participants ahead of launch.
Who can use Imbue?
Imbue is intended for businesses and investigators with a lawful, permissible purpose for locating individuals, such as collections, legal, investigations, insurance, lending and repossession. Organisations will be required to verify their identity and intended use.
