01 // Why Locus
Built on science. Proven in practice. Chosen for the long haul.
Locus is the only cloud-native EHS and ESG platform built by environmental scientists and Silicon Valley engineers. Here is what that combination produces, and why 98% of Locus customers renew year after year.
02 // Pillars of Success
Some of the reasons enterprises choose Locus Technologies
It's tough to match our environmental domain expertise
03 // Experts in Complex Data
Locus was founded by a civil engineer in 1997 and since then, every R&D and customer-facing employee has held an advanced science or engineering degree or brought direct professional EHS experience. Software architects came from Hewlett-Packard, PeopleSoft, and Salesforce. Environmental scientists, geochemists, and compliance professionals came from the field. The result is a platform that genuinely understands what it is managing, not just how to store it.
When regulators tighten standards on the most scrutinized contaminants in environmental science, Locus customers are already prepared. Locus has built specialized data structures, calculation logic, and reporting workflows for lead, asbestos, benzene, and PFAS — including more than 4.4 million PFAS records across 38,500+ global sites. These are not generic fields in a form. They represent purpose-built solutions developed with scientists who have supported these compliance programs in the field.
Managing air, water, waste, soil, energy, emissions, incidents, and sustainability disclosures across dozens of regulatory frameworks is genuinely hard work. Locus is the only platform that handles all of it within a single unified data environment. One login, one data model, one place for your team to work — rather than stitching together eight separate point solutions that share no data and speak no common language.

Each customer receives a dedicated implementation manager with relevant environmental credentials, live configuration reviews before go-live, fully documented configurations, and a 30-day post-launch customer success incubator. Implementation costs are transparent and tailored to your choices. There are no surprise invoices, no scope creep disguised as a change order, and no call center when you need support.

Environmental intelligence meets industrial reality
Locus operates at the intersection of the natural world and the systems built to power, produce, and sustain modern life. We bring scientific rigor and technical elegance to the complex work of helping organizations operate responsibly, protect vital resources, and make progress with confidence.
Locus customers gain a reliable, long-term solution
05 // Enterprise-Grade Solution
Locus runs on a true multitenant SaaS architecture — the same platform that serves a small water utility serves Chevron and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Add new sites, facilities, divisions, and jurisdictions without re-implementation or system strain. Locus has proven this at scale with 1.6 million worldwide locations, all managed within a single unified platform designed from the ground up for exactly this kind of growth.

When regulations shift or your operations evolve, you should not have to file a vendor change request and wait months for a release. Locus's Configuration Workbench puts form design, workflow logic, dashboards, report formats, and even full application builds in the hands of your own power users — no code, no vendor fees, no delays. Your configurations survive every platform update, preserved as metadata rather than overwritten by new releases. Explore Locus Configurability →
Locus Technologies’ SaaS subscription model is competitively priced and transparent, with no hidden fees. Because Locus runs on a single multitenant cloud platform, there are no costly per-customer upgrade cycles, no separate module licensing traps, and no forced professional services engagements for configuration changes your team can handle in the Configuration Workbench. Predictable pricing, elimination of spreadsheet-management overhead, and the consolidation of multiple point solutions into one platform consistently reduce total cost of ownership for organizations that make the switch.

Locus holds SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 verifications of its own operations, financials, and security controls, not merely those of its hosting provider. Locus hosts on AWS, maintains 99.99%+ uptime since 2009 as verified by independent third-party monitoring, and is the only leading EHS provider to publish those uptime statistics openly in real time. SSO support, role-based access controls, and rigorous data isolation between tenants round out a security posture that matches the sensitivity of the data it protects.
06 // Frost & Sullivan
Locus offers a robust, cost-effective suite of environmental risk management solutions,
... giving end users controllable information on demand, while lowering operational costs. Although many solutions in this market have been tracking and maintaining environmental information, this task was often handled by archaic, piecemealed systems that only addressed individual environmental health and safety requirements, or carbon reduction related data, resulting in a dependency on a large number of legacy software systems, which are now both outdated and inefficient. The Locus solution provides a clear breakaway from these, in addition to being cost effective and scalable.
Locus customers get more value from their data
07 // Robust Data Management
Static PDFs are a compliance liability masquerading as a deliverable. Locus replaces them with live dashboards, GIS maps, and role-specific data visualizations that pull from your actual records in real time. Whether you are monitoring exceedances at a water utility, tracking refrigerant leak rates across 200 facilities, or watching ESG metrics move ahead of a board presentation, the information you need is current, interactive, and always accessible.

Spreadsheets are where environmental data goes to become nearly useless. Locus's no-code app builder lets your team convert any existing spreadsheet-based process into a structured, validated, mobile-enabled application — complete with workflow logic, approval routing, and audit trails. No developer involvement required. If you can describe the spreadsheet, a Locus power user can build the app, typically in under a day. See how app building works →
Every record in Locus carries a complete audit trail. Data is validated at entry, transformations are documented, chain-of-custody is maintained, and every configuration change is logged with a timestamp and user attribution. When a regulator, an auditor, or a legal team asks for documentation, Locus customers produce it immediately — from the system, in the format required, without scrambling across email threads and file shares.

Locus runs in any modern browser on any operating system — Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS. Field teams collect data on mobile devices using Locus Mobile, even offline, with automatic synchronization when connectivity is restored. That same data is accessible in the executive dashboard without export or reconciliation. One platform, consistent experience, regardless of device, location, or role. Explore Locus Mobile capabilities →
Over 527 million records. More than 1.6 million monitored locations worldwide. 4.8 million PFAS records to date. 358,000+ EDDs loaded. More than 13 million user logins served. These are not projected figures — they reflect the active load Locus manages in production today, across customers ranging from small municipal water utilities to the largest oil, gas, chemical, manufacturing, and government organizations in the world.
08 // TRACK RECORD
Locus customers routinely stay for 10+ years
A 98% annual customer renewal rate is the outcome of software that does what it says, implemented by people who know your work, supported by a team that picks up the phone. When organizations discover that another EHS vendor is more sizzle than stake, marketing than substance, they move to Locus Technologies. Chevron. Los Alamos National Laboratory. Chemours. The Port of Seattle. Sempra. PSE&G. These are long-tenured Locus customers, and their continued presence on the platform is the most strongest signal of performance available.

09 // DEPTH OF HISTORY
A pedigree built over 30 years
Locus launched the world's first commercial SaaS product for environmental information management in 1999. It has been independently owned and operated by its founder ever since — with no private equity ownership, no acquisition rollup, and no platform migration forced on customers by a corporate restructuring. That independence means the team that built the platform is still building it, and the customers who trusted Locus in 2005 are running on the same architectural foundation that serves new customers today.
