ArcGIS LocateXT is entity extraction software for analysis of unstructured data, enabling you to quickly distill location information from massive amounts of data. Its sense-making capability automatically identifies location information inside large volumes of your unstructured data to bring geospatial information to the surface. Interrogate an array of messages, reports, briefings, and social media posts. Uncover data inside Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint); Adobe PDF documents; and XML, HTML, and text files. Publish extractions on a map to share across the enterprise, including geodatabases, feature classes, and feature services. Implement custom automated workflows for deeper analysis and better decision-making.

Automate entity extraction workflows

Reduce the amount of time it takes to generate and disseminate maps, apps, and reports. Automatically extract data to feature classes, feature services, shapefiles, KML files, and geodatabases. Create custom extracted attributes by configuring keyword search and extraction controls. Store past attributes to remind the user for future workflows.

Map entities extracted from source content

Interact with and view entity and location data on a map with source content. Discover, sort, and map extracted locations. Interact with points to reveal pre-text and post-text from source content. Simplify and accelerate geocoding of text-based assets for situational understanding.
