Most economic development teams already use a patchwork of tools—GIS, CRMs, listing feeds, workforce data, marketing software. The issue is not that those tools are bad. The issue is that they sit in separate silos when the clock is ticking on an RFI.
Sitehunt does not ask you to rip anything out. It connects the pieces, enriches what is missing, and turns your stack into a system that can deliver.
What you likely already have
- Property & GIS tools for mapping and inventory
- CRM and project tracking for prospects
- Listing feeds and broker uploads
- Workforce and BR&E data sources
- Marketing tools for flyers, websites, and outreach
Each solves a slice. Sitehunt stitches the slices together.
Where Sitehunt plugs in
- Enrichment for decision-ready maps: Parcels and listings get utilities, access, workforce context, environmental flags, and other critical data so selectors see answers, not TBDs.
- CRM sync instead of copy/paste: Keep Salesforce or HubSpot as your source of truth while Sitehunt syncs property data, activities, and milestones.
- Cleaner listing feeds: Import feeds, dedupe, normalize, and enrich weekly so your listings are consistent and searchable.
- One-click collateral: Spec sheets, flyers, and social snippets generated from the same trusted data.
- Automated RFI responses: Upload the RFI, extract criteria, score sites, flag gaps, and produce a branded response package fast.
Why add Sitehunt if you already have tools
- Speed wins. First credible response still wins more than we admit. Sitehunt compresses discovery → scoring → proposal into a single flow.
- Completeness without the scavenger hunt. Automated enrichment fills gaps before a selector finds them.
- Fewer handoffs, fewer errors. Bi-directional syncs and unified outputs reduce retyping and version drift.
- Built for economic developers. Workflows mirror how RFIs actually move across EDOs and partners.
- Keep what works. Sitehunt is connective tissue, not another silo.
A quick mental model
- Your mapping tools show sites.
- Your CRM tracks prospects.
- Your workforce data proves people.
- Your marketing tools make it presentable.
- Sitehunt makes it actionable—and gets it out the door.
If your current stack “shows” but does not deliver, Sitehunt is the missing layer that turns your tools into a system—so you respond faster and win more often.
