The recognition comes from a panel of 42 industry and media judges who evaluated over 300 entries based on innovation, functionality, and design. Prophetic was selected for helping builders move from site identification to defensible go/no-go decisions faster, with greater clarity around what's actually buildable.

Why This Matters

The Best of IBS Awards honor the most innovative and impactful products in residential construction. Being recognized in this category reflects something bigger than Prophetic—it reflects a fundamental shift in how land acquisition works.

Decision speed and feasibility certainty have become critical competitive advantages for builders operating in complex regulatory environments. The constraint isn't finding opportunities. It's evaluating them fast enough to win deals while maintaining thorough diligence standards.

Traditional processes can't keep pace. By the time manual analysis is complete—assembling zoning codes, running preliminary site layouts, checking environmental constraints across multiple county databases—the best opportunities are already under contract.

What Changed

Land teams are under pressure to evaluate more opportunities while managing risk earlier in the acquisition process. The old approach of waiting weeks for engineering feasibility or manually researching zoning codes across dozens of jurisdictions doesn't work when competitors are making same-day offers.

Prophetic automates site evaluation, removing the major constraint on decision-making that traditionally stretches across weeks of manual effort. By integrating zoning codes, topography, environmental constraints, and municipal regulations into a single workflow, the platform turns scattered data into a decision-ready buildability answer teams can act on immediately.

This allows teams to rule out unviable sites earlier while accelerating decisions on viable opportunities. In competitive markets, that speed advantage is the difference between winning deals and wondering why deal flow dried up.

The Results So Far

To date, Prophetic has been adopted by leading homebuilders operating nationwide across major U.S. markets, including D.R. Horton, America's largest homebuilder. These teams are using the platform to support higher-volume land evaluation and faster go/no-go decisions earlier in the acquisition process.

Clients have analyzed 198,000+ parcels and are currently pursuing over 3,100 high-potential development sites they've discovered, analyzed, and organized with Prophetic. What once took weeks now takes minutes.

That's not incremental improvement—that's a fundamental transformation in how land acquisition operates.

See It Live at IBS

If you're attending the International Builders' Show in Orlando this month, visit us at Booth S7059 for a live demonstration of the platform's capabilities, including:

• Instant Zoning Clarity - Translate municipal codes into buildability answers in seconds
• Automated Site Layouts - Generate preliminary feasibility and lot yield analysis instantly
• Land Relationship Manager (LRM) - Centralize land acquisition intelligence to evaluate sites faster and reduce risk earlier in the process

Category winners will be announced on the final day of the show, Thursday, February 19.

Being named a Best of IBS finalist reflects the growing need for clearer, faster land feasibility decisions earlier in the acquisition process. We're proud to be recognized for helping builders bring more certainty to that work.
