Sitehunt is a modern site‑selection and property intelligence platform built for large, regional, and state Economic Development Organizations (EDOs). It brings together advanced GIS mapping, AI‑powered enrichment, collaborative property management, and automated RFI tools in one browser‑based system, with no software to install and unlimited users included.

By centralizing and enriching property data across jurisdictions, Sitehunt helps statewide and regional teams move from scattered, incomplete records to a trusted, shared inventory that supports better decisions, stronger proposals, and faster responses.

Key Advantages for Large-Scale EDOs

1. Shared, Enriched Property Inventory

  • Centralized data repository: Consolidate parcels, listings, and local submissions from multiple EDOs into one standardized database with clear ownership and permissions.
  • Automatic enrichment at scale: Apply Sitehunt’s enrichment engine across your region to add utilities, zoning, infrastructure, incentives, workforce, and environmental context to every site.
  • Consistent structure: Use the same question‑driven workflow and data model across cities, counties, and regions so comparisons and RFI responses are straightforward.

2. Statewide RFI Automation and Site Scoring

  • Upload once, evaluate everywhere: Drag‑and‑drop RFIs (PDF, Word, Excel) and let Sitehunt extract criteria for acreage, utilities, workforce, timelines, and more.
  • Scoring across your inventory: Score and rank all eligible sites, regardless of which local EDO owns them, using transparent, configurable models.
  • Collaborative gap‑filling: Flag “missing data” sites and route follow‑ups to local partners so they can add utility, entitlement, or cost details before submission.

3. Partner Portals and Role‑Based Access

  • EDO Partnership Model: Give local and regional partners their own branded portals where they can manage inventory, run reports, and contribute sites to your master database.
  • Role‑based access control: Use Admin, Editor, and Viewer roles to control who can edit properties, approve submissions, or view sensitive data.
  • Audit trails everywhere: Track who changed what and when for every field, attachment, and RFI response across the entire network.

4. Integrated Mapping, Reports, and Marketing

  • Full GIS mapping, no GIS license required: Provide interactive maps with layers for parcels, zoning, infrastructure, incentives, floodplains, and more, usable by non‑technical staff.
  • Standardized reports: Generate comparable site sheets, workforce and demographic reports, and community profiles for any geography or site.
  • Polished proposals: Assemble statewide or regional submissions with consistent branding, formatting, and narratives while still highlighting local strengths.

5. Hosting, Security, and Reliability

  • Hosted, browser‑based platform: Sitehunt runs on KVM‑isolated infrastructure in ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified facilities with TLS 1.3 encryption, with no local installs to manage.
  • Data ownership and exports: Your organization retains full ownership of all data, with full exports delivered in open formats within seven business days upon written request.
  • Continuous updates: New features, performance improvements, and security updates ship automatically with no downtime or upgrade projects for your team.

Conclusion

For large, regional, and state EDOs, Sitehunt offers a practical way to unify property data, speed up RFIs, and support partners without adding headcount. It turns raw parcels and partial listings into standardized, defensible information that your team, leadership, and site selectors can rely on.
