Unearth Technologies is a Seattle-based software company founded in 2016 that provides a SaaS platform called OnePlace, which leverages geographic information system (GIS) data to help users in construction, utilities, government, infrastructure, and energy sectors manage physical assets. The platform centralizes project data—such as photos, plan sheets, and documents—onto an intuitive, map-based interface, enabling real-time project tracking, streamlined collaboration, and faster access to critical information. This reduces time spent on inspections, quality control, reporting, and issue resolution by over 50%, benefiting contractors, project owners, and field teams managing complex construction projects or multiple sites. In 2023, Unearth was acquired by Procore Technologies, a major construction software company, aligning their shared vision for innovation in civil and infrastructure sectors[1][2][3].
Unearth was founded in 2016 by Brian Saab, Amy Hutchins, and Nate Miller, who previously worked together at a Seattle travel software startup acquired by Priceline. The idea emerged from their experience with software development and a desire to demystify GIS for construction and asset management. Early traction came from deploying their product across diverse environments, including dams, air bases, and rugged forests, helping customers manage thousands of miles of buried utilities. The company raised $11.6 million in venture funding, including a $7 million Series A in 2019, before being acquired by Procore in 2023. Founders Saab and Hutchins continue in leadership roles at Procore, with most Unearth employees joining the acquiring company[1][3].
Unearth rides the trend of digital transformation in construction and infrastructure management, where integrating GIS and real-time data is critical for improving project outcomes and asset maintenance. The timing is favorable due to increasing complexity in infrastructure projects and the need for better collaboration tools that bridge field and office operations. Market forces such as rising infrastructure investments, demand for sustainability, and the push for operational efficiency support Unearth’s growth. By simplifying GIS and embedding it into construction workflows, Unearth influences the broader ecosystem by accelerating adoption of geospatial technologies and fostering data-driven decision-making in traditionally manual industries[1][2][3].
Post-acquisition by Procore, Unearth is positioned to scale its impact by integrating deeper into a leading construction software ecosystem, potentially expanding its product capabilities and customer base. Future trends shaping its journey include increased use of IoT, remote sensing, and AI in construction asset management, as well as growing emphasis on infrastructure resilience and sustainability. Unearth’s influence may evolve from a niche GIS tool to a core component of comprehensive construction management platforms, driving innovation in how physical assets are monitored and maintained. This trajectory ties back to its founding mission of making GIS accessible and actionable for construction and infrastructure professionals[1][3][5].
