Problem
Location scouts and production teams often struggle with fragmented location data, relying on scattered files, PDFs, and manual sharing, which makes it hard to organize, search, and securely share site information across projects and collaborators.
Solution
SuperScout offers a private, searchable map that centralizes all scouted locations in a single cloud‑based database. Users can capture new sites instantly with an iOS app or bulk import existing libraries from SmugMug or Dropbox. The platform indexes each entry with address, contact details, notes and AI‑generated keywords, enabling instant keyword and map‑based search. Curated, branded share links let users control visibility, expiration and access per client without sending PDFs or separate files. Data is stored on regional AWS servers behind Cloudflare and protected by Auth0 authentication, ensuring confidentiality and compliance with GDPR, CCPA and other standards.
