One platform with the spatial tools every operator needs, plus industry-specific packs that handle the data, rules, and workflows you'd otherwise build yourself. No jargon. No analyst required.
Geography drives almost every local-services decision — service area, lead targeting, route, compliance — but the tools available today were built for analysts, priced for enterprises, and labeled in a language operators don't speak.
Isochrones. Buffers. Centroids. Gi*. The labels assume training operators don't have. So the screen looks scary, the workflow stalls, and the contractor goes back to a spreadsheet and a pin map.
Enterprise GIS starts at five figures. Map APIs hide pricing traps that meter every page-load. Foot-traffic vendors lock you into per-record contracts. The economics break before the value shows up.
Existing platforms assume a blank canvas. Pick a basemap. Configure a CRS. Style the symbology. Operators want a starting point: "I run a solar company in Tampa." Then the right map should already be loaded.
The Engine handles the GIS — file imports, spatial math, layers, mapping, reporting, sharing, AI. The Vertical Packs add the data, rules, integrations, and workflows specific to your industry.
Other AI-mapping tools help GIS users be more efficient. GeoSift's AI is the reason non-GIS users can use the product at all. Persistent right-hand panel, session memory, voice input on mobile.
Each pack adds industry data layers, compliance rules, integrations, and pre-built workflows on top of the Engine. All packs are included on every plan during early access.
Find roofs that should have panels — and don't.
Territory + lead routing for multi-tech trades.
Site compliance and delivery zones, by jurisdiction.
Patient catchment, referrals, and specialty density.
Multi-client GIS without standing up your own stack.
Site selection and pitch books for commercial real estate.
Book-of-business mapping and CAT exposure.
Buy-box scoring for real-estate investors.
Public works asset inventory and capital planning.
Proposal-grade terrain analysis for defense subcontractors.
Permits, bid territory, and subcontractor coverage.
Geographic audience builders for paid media.
Sprint 1 lands first. The rest ship in priority order based on founding-customer feedback.
If your team works on roofs, in basements, or out of trucks, the desktop UI is the wrong surface. GeoSift ships PWA-installable mobile from day one — built for hands-busy, off-grid work.
All packs are included on every plan during early access. We'll know we got the model right when customers stop asking us to change it.
For owner-operators and one-person shops.
For teams with multiple operators or analysts.
All packs included on every plan during early access. Pricing model still being validated — talk to us if it's wrong for you.
Felt and Atlas are horizontal "GIS for everyone" plays — beautiful tools that still expect you to know what you're trying to build. GeoSift goes the other direction: vertical packs that show up pre-loaded with the data, rules, and templates for your industry. You get a working map for solar prospecting, cannabis compliance, or trade-service territory the moment you log in. Felt's positioning has struggled for the same reason every horizontal GIS play has: operators don't want a canvas, they want a starting point.
Esri is the gold standard for GIS analysts. It's also five-figure pricing, a multi-week learning curve, and a vocabulary that assumes a degree in geography. GeoSift is for the operator who'd never get budget approval for ArcGIS in the first place — and for whom 80% of the value is "find candidate roofs" or "draw three service zones," not full spatial analysis. If you have a GIS team, keep Esri. If you don't, you probably shouldn't try to build one.
You don't need any. The Engine accepts the formats you already have — CSV with addresses, Google Sheets, Airtable, an export from your CRM. Coordinates and addresses are auto-detected on import. On top of that, every pack ships with reference layers built in: NREL irradiance for Solar, FEMA flood for Insurance, Census ACS for everyone. Most customers spend zero time looking for "GIS data" — the platform brings it.
That's exactly the trap GeoSift is engineered around. Google Maps Platform pricing punishes scale — a successful map can quietly cost more than the customer pays you. We default to MapLibre + Overture Maps Foundation, which are open source and free at any traffic volume, and we use Geoapify for geocoding. The pricing you see is the pricing you pay; no metered API surprises tied to your map loads.
A CRM map view drops your contacts on a basemap. That's it. GeoSift is a real spatial database underneath — drive-time areas, hot/cold spots, points-in-polygon, spatial joins, kernel density, territory generation, vision AI, reference layers, custom geometry. You can ask "how many of my customers are inside this drive-time area on a high-irradiance roof?" and get an answer. CRM map views don't do spatial reasoning; they do pin pins.
We're recruiting 25 founding customers across 4 industries. 30-min call. Honest feedback. Lifetime founding-customer pricing if we ship a fit.
