ISO 9001:2013-certified since relocating to San Diego, TrendSource Compliance in Point Loma has built compliance-management and market-research programs for Fortune 500 clients since the firm's 1989 founding. Its field-agent network covers 75,000-plus business locations across North America for mystery-shopping evaluations, competitor-pricing audits, and customer-experience assessments—data that informs the operational consulting at Simple Strategy. TrendSource pioneered remote I-9 verification services, dispatching credentialed agents to meet new hires on-site and complete Section 2 with integrated E-Verify processing. Acquisitions of Examine Your Practice in 2008 and Vision Compliance in 2010 expanded the firm's regulatory portfolio into FCRA-mandated onsite inspections for consumer-reporting agencies, a compliance specialty that parallels the audit-readiness focus at Crescendo Consultings Inc. Multi-vertical compliance engagements combining nationwide mystery-shopping programs, FCRA inspection schedules, and I-9 verification at scale across thousands of locations represent the firm's most operationally complex offering.
