Latapult

Core Features

The Latapult platform combines comprehensive GIS datasets with intuitive mapping and collaboration tools, allowing project teams to evaluate potential sites using consistent criteria while minimizing the need for specialist GIS skills. Some of its main capabilities include:

• Renewable Energy Site Screening – Searches and filters land using criteria such as proximity to substations, transmission lines, acreage, buildable area, slope, and environmental constraints.

• Comprehensive GIS Data Layers – Brings together parcel ownership, utility infrastructure, wetlands, flood zones, topography, transportation networks, Opportunity Zones, and other datasets within a single platform.

• Buildable Area Analysis – Calculates usable acreage while accounting for terrain, environmental restrictions, and other physical limitations affecting project viability.

• Collaborative Project Management – Enables teams to create bookmarks, annotate sites, compare locations, export maps, and share visual insights with colleagues and stakeholders.

• Custom Data Integration – Supports importing CAD drawings, external datasets, proprietary project information, and CRM integrations to fit existing development workflows.

• GIS Expert Support – Offers optional customization services and guidance from in-house geospatial specialists for organizations with more complex renewable energy siting requirements.

Closing Insights

Latapult is developed by Thegis, LLC, a U.S. geospatial software company whose team has long specialized in GIS consulting and land intelligence. Originally launched as geothinQ, the platform was rebranded as Latapult in 2024 to reflect a broader mission of helping organizations make location-smart decisions through intuitive GIS technology. Rather than targeting GIS professionals alone, the platform is designed to make sophisticated geospatial analysis accessible to land acquisition, business development, engineering, and project management teams.

For renewable energy developers, Latapult focuses on shortening one of the most time-consuming stages of project development: identifying viable land. By combining regularly updated datasets from Esri and Cotality with proprietary mapping and analysis tools, users can evaluate environmental constraints, infrastructure access, ownership information, and site buildability without switching between multiple systems. Customer testimonials include renewable energy companies such as Empower Energies and Nexamp, which highlight the platform's ability to streamline land evaluation and improve lead generation.
