What Locus Technologies does

Locus Technologies is a private, founder-controlled provider of cloud-native Environmental, Health, Safety, and Sustainability (EHS&S) SaaS, founded in 1997 by Dr. Neno Duplan and headquartered in Mountain View, California. The company operates a metadata-driven, multi-tenant SaaS platform (Locus Platform) on which more than 30 purpose-built applications are deployed, including Locus EIM for environmental information management, Locus GHG for greenhouse gas emissions, Locus Water, Locus Air, Locus Waste, Locus Chemical Inventory, Locus Refrigerants, Locus Embodied Carbon, ESG and Sustainability Metrics, Audits & Inspections, Risk & Compliance, Industrial Hygiene, and the LocusAI suite for predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and the LocusAI Report Agent. The platform manages more than 535 million validated analytical records across 1.66 million worldwide locations in real time, integrates with ERP, BI, HR, SCADA, IoT, and ArcGIS via APIs, supports nine languages, and is hosted on AWS with SOC 1/2 Type 2, ISO 27001-aligned, GDPR, CCPA, and Privacy Shield/APEC CBPR compliance.

Locus sells predominantly to Fortune 100 corporations, water utilities, and government agencies on a quote-based, multi-dimensional subscription model that charges per user, per site, per gigabyte of storage, and per record, with annual upfront billing, automatic renewals, and a 30-day low-cost trial. Distribution is hybrid: dedicated enterprise field sales for large regulated accounts, inside sales for mid-market buyers, and a product-led trial motion for evaluation. The company claims an 18,000+ active user base, a 98% renewal rate, and 99.9996% uptime since 2014, with named customers including Del Monte Foods, Bayer, Alstom, the Port of New York and New Jersey, San Jose Water Company, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Mannik & Smith Group. Revenue is generated from software subscriptions, usage-based storage and record charges, and professional services covering implementation, GHG and LCFS verification, refrigerant management, hazardous waste expertise, water quality services, and training.

Locus remains self-funded, with no private equity or venture capital involvement disclosed. In June 2026 the company appointed Siena Duplan (formerly Senior Member of Technical Staff at Salesforce and co-founder/CEO of Sophare AI) as VP of AI and Strategic Operations, launched the LocusAI Report Agent, introduced the Water-Energy Nexus platform for data centers, released Locus Chemical Inventory, and shipped major GIS+ and Asset Management upgrades, signaling a pivot toward AI-led automation and adjacent verticals while sustaining its enterprise compliance core.
