811 locate leads are the earliest signal in the physical economy, because a locate ticket means somebody is digging within days.
TLDRProxi reads 811 locate tickets within minutes of posting, one of 10,000+ public sources it watches across 11M+ businesses. Every ticket resolves to one business, so you get a ranked morning call sheet: who just called in a dig, the ticket as evidence, and a phone number, priced per territory rather than per seat.
Before anyone breaks ground, the law says call 811. The ticket names who is digging, where, and roughly when, because the utilities have a short window to come mark their lines. That means a locate ticket is not a hint about interest or a guess from web behavior. It is a company committing to put a machine in the ground at a known address within days.
For anyone selling into that work, the timing is the whole game. Equipment, attachments, rental hours, pipe and fittings, bits and teeth, spoil hauling, traffic control, restoration: all of it gets decided in the few days between the ticket and the dig. A week later the crew is on site with whatever they could get, and the order is gone.
A single ticket is one data point. It matters more when it stacks with the other records the same business left that week: a permit, a contract award, two operator job postings, a new yard on file. That combination is a business mobilizing.
811 locate tickets are read within minutes of posting, alongside construction permits daily, state business filings, environmental records, licenses, procurement awards, court records, job postings, and the open web. Each source is polled on its own publishing cadence.
A ticket carries an excavator name, a contact, and a dig location, entered by hand and spelled differently every time. Every record resolves to one business, so the ticket joins everything else already known about that company instead of sitting in a feed on its own.
You open Today and read a ranked list of businesses in your territory whose records just moved, each with the evidence that put it there, the locate ticket or the permit or the award, and a phone number. The list and its evidence push into the CRM you already use.
Locate tickets are read within minutes of posting, and slower sources on their own cadence: construction permits and licenses daily, procurement awards hourly. The call sheet is rebuilt every morning from everything that landed overnight, so what you read at eight is what the records said at seven.
Everything Proxi reads is already public, and every source is collected within its published terms. Coverage shows exactly what was asked, what was found, and what could not be asked, so a gap in your territory is visible rather than silent.
No. Proxi pushes the ranked list and the evidence behind each name into the CRM you already use. It is the input that decides the day's calls, not a replacement system of record.
No. Locate tickets are one source among more than 10,000, alongside state business filings, construction and environmental permits, licenses, procurement awards, court records, job postings, and the open web. The ranking comes from what several sources say about the same business in the same week, not from any one ticket.
