The operational savings are significant, but so is the reduction in fraud exposure as more and more titles are removed from unsecured physical circulation. WHAT DOES THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL TITLING LOOK LIKE IN 2026 AND BEYOND? With its digital infrastructure in place, Vitu sees 2026 as a year of execution and expansion. Vitu plans to continue rolling out digital title implementations, strengthening connections and integration across industry stakeholders — striving to break down long-standing silos. The long-term vision is a fully interconnected ecosystem, where titles move instantly, securely and transparently with and across state lines, enabling faster, more secure vehicle transactions across the industry. In the short term, Dave Spencer says, “This is a watershed moment for us in changing the industry … This will probably be the busiest year that we have. It’s really about executing that vision.” David Spencer, vice president of national sales, remarketing, lending and strategic account solutions at Vitu, brings 10+ years of experience in automotive retail, lending and insurance, plus another decade in electronic registration and titling. Recognized nationally as a thought leader in vehicle registration and titling, David is a trusted expert for both industry professionals and jurisdictions. His deep understanding of e-titling technology has further established him as a subject matter expert in this evolving space.
