Expertise in Location Intelligence

GIS West Consulting LLC is focused on delivering superior consulting services and innovative solutions to unlock the power of spatial data for business, policy making and quality of life decisions.

GIS West was founded in 2013 to offer specialized geographic information systems and web development consulting services. Leveraging a combined 30 years of GIS industry experience we are now developing highly targeted data and software products for private and public sector entities that rely heavily on spatial data analysis and visualization. Our consulting services and data solutions work in concert to create strategic advantages and build value for our clients.

Areas of Focus

Commercial Real Estate

Location optimization is our passion. We work as an independent consultant to assess and identify properties that best serve the real estate objectives of our clients. We specialize in site selection for businesses and organizations with restrictive permitting requirements. Our analysis uses proprietary enriched data along with advanced spatial and statistical techniques to generate actionable intelligence.

Planning and Permitting

We have strategic partnerships with planners and engineers supporting projects of all size. Our GIS and cartography services are a 100% billable alternative to in-house GIS for smaller firms, and compliments larger firms in need of extra support or specialized skill sets. Commercial real estate clients in need of permitting support can rely on our network of partner firms and consultants to expedite the success of their projects.

Data Analytics

GIS West has developed proprietary data aggregation and analytical tools to support our location optimization service and enriched data product offerings. We are continuing to build out these analytical and visualization tools to achieve the long term goal of licensing integrated vertical data analytics solutions. Our objective is to provide a unique approach and cost effective alternative to cumbersome, expensive and complicated GIS software.

Location Business Intelligence

Working with a client’s internal data and relevant external data we can identify the variables that help explain business outcomes. Location based profiles of consumers and businesses enable more precise marketing and operational decision making. Our proprietary approach to business intelligence analysis allows us to drill down into data in ways that could best be described as Spatial Search Engine Technology.

Environmental Consulting

Our team and strategic partners have a strong environmental consulting background for projects in the private, public and military sectors. Diversity of experience includes supporting biological and cultural resources, geophysical, remediation, acoustical, visual, air quality, paleontology, architectural, compliance, and environmental management systems. We offer affordable high quality support for data collection, GIS analysis and cartography.

Infrastructure and Facilities

GIS is changing the way infrastructure and facilities are managed by cutting costs and improving access to information. Older facilities and infrastructure require constant upgrades and maintenance, relying on legacy systems which may include paper records. A GIS management solution can centralize designs, records and relevant data to allow quick access to maps, reports and data for managers, planners and workers.

Consulting Services

GIS West Consulting is committed to providing the highest quality service for traditional and emerging consumers of location based data analysis. Every project is unique and so is our strategic approach and problem solving philosophy.

Clients can always count on vigilant attention to detail, schedule and budget.


For projects requiring a multi-disciplinary team of professionals, we have a network of strategic partners ready to tackle even the most demanding challenges. GIS West is dedicated to supporting informed decision making through better location intelligence.
