Its core product, the Dodge One platform launched in 2026, tracks more than 700,000 commercial construction projects annually through pre-planning, design, and construction start stages, with each project entry verified by a network of 400+ field reporters drawing on 19,000+ proprietary web and print sources and 3,000+ municipal feeds.

Differentiated integration with Salesforce (15+ year ISV partner), HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics, plus REST API and data feeds, embed Dodge data into customer sales workflows. The company has been the U.S. Census Bureau's preferred construction data provider for 55+ years and operates a 130-year-old brand dating to the founding of FW Dodge Company in 1891.
