Bail bond skip & recovery software
Manage skips and recovery for bail bonds: one case file with deadline tracking, a recovery activity log, and early re-arrest alerts from county data.
When a defendant skips
A skip (or jumper) is a defendant who fails to appear and can't be located — putting the bond at risk of forfeiture. When that happens, every day and every deadline counts. Skip and recovery software keeps the case, the deadlines and the recovery activity in one file instead of scattered notes.
How BailSoft handles skip files
- Skip case file — one place for the defendant, bond, contacts and history.
- Deadline tracking — forfeiture, notice and remission windows so nothing lapses.
- Recovery activity log — a dated, audit-ready record of what was done.
- County intelligence — a re-arrest in a county you watch surfaces automatically, often the fastest lead.
- Ties to the bond — everything links back to the original file and indemnitor.
Why speed and records matter
The difference between a costly forfeiture and a recovered bond is often days — and clean records. BailSoft's county Data Network flags re-arrests early, while Skip Files keeps the deadlines and activity organized. Recovery (bail enforcement) rules vary by state, so know your local requirements. See the county data feed.
