Integration approach

Integration philosophy

SeaGoat produces approved structured objects (findings, costs, evidence packages) that can be pushed into your system of record (ERP, project management, asset tracking) via API mapping.

We don't require you to adopt SeaGoat as your single source of truth. Instead, we map SeaGoat outputs to your existing data models and workflows.

Integration objects

Conceptual overview of the structured objects available for integration. JSON schemas and endpoint specifications are provided during integration planning based on your target system requirements.

• –Findings – Structured records with evidence links, condition, action, and timing
• –Cost line items – Component, quantity, unit cost, and lifecycle calculations
• –Reserve schedule rows – Timing categories, annual allocation, total reserve
• –Evidence packages – Photo references, document IDs, provenance metadata
• –Export artifacts – PDF reports (Quick Response, Full Field Report) and CSV exports (Findings Table, Cost Table, Event Schedule, Reserve Summary)

Authentication & security

Supported authentication patterns include service accounts, API keys, and OAuth flows depending on your system requirements. Implementation details are defined during technical scoping.

All API communications use encrypted transport (TLS). Credentials are managed through secure secret storage and follow least-privilege principles.

Implementation process

Integrations follow a four-phase approach:

External data sources

SeaGoat combines external source-backed data, reviewer-owned fields, and exportable structured objects. Hazard and property data are queried live by exact coordinates from authoritative APIs:

• –FEMA NFHL – Flood zone, SFHA status, and base flood elevation via National Flood Hazard Layer
• –USGS Design Maps – Seismic Design Category (SDC) and spectral acceleration values
• –ASCE 7-22 Hazard Tool – Design wind speed, risk category, MRI period, and hurricane zone
• –EPA FRS – Regulated facilities within proximity via Facility Registry Service
• –NOAA NWS – IECC climate zone, county, and freeze depth from the National Weather Service
• –USDA NRCS – Soil series, drainage class, and shrink-swell potential via Soil Data Access
• –Regrid Parcel API – Parcel boundaries, owner, lot size, year built, use code, and structured zoning data
• –Municipal / County GIS – Zoning district and land use classification from jurisdiction-level systems

Every data point in a SITUS report cites its source, API, and retrieval timestamp. Same coordinates produce the same answer every time.

Priority integrations

SeaGoat supports custom integrations for ERP, project management, and asset tracking systems. Integration scope and target systems are defined during deployment planning.
