Pivvot's Source currates location intelligence and spatial analytics data to provide ready to use location data for the tools, applications and workflows of your organization to speed site selection and permitting.

Turn location data into decisions, without building the data operation behind it

Eliminate the effort required to find, prepare, standardize, and maintain critical datasets, so your teams can move from data acquisition to analysis and action sooner. Source delivers curated, ready-to-use location intelligence to the tools, applications, and workflows your organization already uses.

Access decision-ready location data without the data-management burden and overhead

Critical location data is often scattered across agencies, providers, downloads, and APIs. Before teams can use it, someone must:

  • Evaluate sources
  • Reconcile formats
  • Standardize schemas
  • Maintain the result

This data work consumes specialized capacity and can create different versions of the same information across teams, if the process isn’t structured and centralized.

A single trusted data foundation for decisions across the enterprise

Source is not a role-specific application or a single-purpose industry dataset. It is a common l foundation that can support analytics, product, operations, engineering, planning, risk, strategy, and executive teams from a shared source of curated data.

Risk and due diligence

Bring environmental, jurisdictional, land, terrain, infrastructure, and community context into early assessments to identify conditions that may warrant deeper review.

Investment and portfolio planning

Compare markets, corridors, parcels, and regions using consistent location-based inputs to inform where to investigate, prioritize, or invest.

Operational intelligence

Enrich internal systems, dashboards, and workflows with location context that helps teams understand assets, service areas, dependencies, and surrounding conditions.

Site and market intelligence

Evaluate potential locations using property, land use, access, population, infrastructure, environmental, and physical-setting data.

Infrastructure and network planning

Support corridor, route, facility, and network analysis with data describing land, constraints, jurisdictions, terrain, existing assets, and crossings.

Data standardization and application enablement

Provide a consistent set of curated spatial inputs for business intelligence, internal applications, analytics, and project delivery across the organization.

Source shifts that burden to a managed data service

Your organization selects the datasets it needs and receives curated spatial data in a delivery model aligned to your environment. The result is a reusable data foundation that helps more people work from consistent information, including organizations with limited GIS resources or no dedicated GIS team.

With Source, your organization can:

  • Reduce repetitive data sourcing, preparation, and maintenance work
  • Give teams access to map-ready, analysis-ready data
  • Create greater consistency across applications, projects, offices, and business units
  • Extend existing GIS, cloud, analytics, and enterprise investments
  • Scale access to location intelligence without building every data pipeline internally
  • Choose the datasets that align to current priorities and expand as needs evolve

Flexible data access for different levels of technical maturity

Every organization consumes data differently. Source supports multiple delivery options, so location data can be used by individuals, teams, applications, or enterprise platforms without prescribing a single technology stack.

API access

Cloud-based delivery

Secure file transfer or bulk data delivery

Custom integration

Delivery method and integration requirements will be confirmed based on selected datasets, intended use, and the customer’s technical environment.

Put location intelligence into the tools you use today

Source separates the value of the data from a specific user interface. Instead of requiring teams to move their work into another application, Source makes curated datasets available for use in the systems that fit your current systems. Don’t change the way you work, just make it easier.

A delivery approach can be aligned to the technical resources and architecture available to your organization. A small team may use secure file or bulk delivery, while organizations with development or cloud capabilities may integrate data through APIs or cloud-based delivery.

You do not need every available dataset to gain value from Source. Start with the data that supports your current decisions, systems, and priorities, then expand as your needs evolve.

Who can benefit from using Source?

Data and analytics teams

Add consistent location-based inputs to models, reporting, dashboards, and enterprise analytics.

Product and technology teams

Use curated datasets to enrich internal tools, customer experiences, and location-aware applications.

Operations and planning teams

Bring trusted geographic context into planning, prioritization, and operational decision-making.

Engineering, environmental, and land teams

Start analysis with prepared data for routes, sites, parcels, physical conditions, and surrounding constraints.

GIS teams and programs

Reduce time spent sourcing, normalizing, cataloging, and maintaining common datasets.

GIS teams and programs

Reduce time spent sourcing, normalizing, cataloging, and maintaining common datasets.

Pivvot Source is a curated dataset ready for your software and workflow. Source combines location intelligence data about energy and infrastructure, jurisdictions for permitting, land use and property ownership, geotechnical and boundary data, community and society data, historical weather data and ecology and environmental data to help you identify sites more quickly, accelerate the permitting process and bring your project online faster.
Pivvot's Source provides access to a deep, curated set of spatial and location intelligence data without duplicating efforts or dealing with multiple systems. Source has it all in one place to speed site selection and permitting to bring your project to completion faster.

Location intelligence that becomes a reusable business asset

When offices, consultants, applications, or project teams source data independently, the organization can inherit duplicate effort, inconsistent schemas, and conflicting versions. Source provides a shared data layer that can be reused across people, systems, and use cases.

A common data foundation can help your organization:

  • Use consistent inputs across analysis, reporting, applications, and project delivery
  • Make trusted location context available beyond specialist teams
  • Reduce duplicated data acquisition and preparation across business units
  • Enable repeatable workflows with curated, documented datasets
  • Connect location intelligence to analytics, operational, and strategic decisions
  • Adapt the data portfolio as business needs and use cases expand
The Real Cost of "free" Data, ebook

Is the hidden cost of “free” data slowing projects and costing you opportunities?

Your most experienced GIS and technical professionals bring far more value to your organization when they’re analyzing data, not spending their time finding, cleaning, and maintaining it. In The Real Cost of “Free” Data, Pete Veenstra, Director of Data Governance at Terracon, examines the hidden costs of public geospatial data and how data quality can affect project schedules, risk, and decision-making. Discover why a curated, maintained data foundation can help organizations put their people and data to higher-value use.

Source offers access to more than 500 geospatial datasets. Organizations can select the data that supports their priorities or license a broader collection across these categories.  View Data Layers:
