TerraQuest Planning Software Integration

Integrate TerraQuest’s planning and land management platforms with your local authority systems using 6B’s secure, scalable, and standards-aligned integration services. We help councils streamline application handling, reduce manual administration, and deliver consistent, joined-up digital planning experiences by connecting TerraQuest solutions to back-office, GIS, finance, and corporate systems.

Working with planning departments, digital transformation teams, and regulatory services, 6B provides end-to-end integration across TerraQuest planning products, including the Planning Portal integrations, application assessment tools, and document management capabilities. Our integrations ensure data, documents, fees, and status updates flow reliably across planning and related services.

As councils continue to modernise planning operations and adopt digital planning initiatives, TerraQuest systems play an increasingly central role. 6B helps authorities enhance that value through secure, future-ready integrations aligned with governance, statutory requirements, and modern digital workflows.

Understanding TerraQuest Planning Software Integration

TerraQuest provides a suite of planning software solutions designed to improve application submission, validation, consultation, and document management. These tools often act as key gateways or operational systems for planning teams, applicants, and agents.

However, without effective integration, planning staff may be required to manually download submissions, rekey data, reconcile fees, or manage documents across multiple platforms. This increases error risk, slows validation, and reduces transparency for applicants.

TerraQuest planning software typically interacts with systems such as IDOX Uniform, Arcus Global, Agile Applications, GIS platforms, payments systems, CRM solutions, document management repositories, and corporate data platforms. Integrations must support secure data transfer, UK GDPR compliance, national planning schema, local authority governance, and operational workflows.

6B helps councils design and deliver TerraQuest integrations that automate data flows, reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, and support digital planning objectives.

Our TerraQuest Planning Software Integration Process

We begin with a structured discovery phase, working with planning officers, technical support teams, IT, and data specialists to understand your TerraQuest configuration, workflows, and integration needs. This includes assessing existing processes for application intake, file management, fee reconciliation, and consultation workflows.

Our architects design an integration approach aligned with your wider planning technology estate. Depending on your needs and vendor constraints, this may involve API-led integration, secure file exchange, event-driven updates, scheduled synchronisation, or the use of an integration layer to standardise patterns across planning services.

During delivery, our engineers implement connectors, transformation pipelines, and secure data exchange mechanisms to support the transfer of application data, documents, metadata, fees, and status updates. We ensure all mappings reflect planning schema, validation processes, and local recording standards.

We run extensive testing across full planning workflows — submission, validation, consultation, officer review, portal updates, and decision notices — to ensure correctness, reliability, and performance. Following go-live, we provide documentation, handover, and optional ongoing support via our managed service capability.

Benefits of TerraQuest Planning Software Integration

Integration reduces manual workload by automating the flow of application forms, documents, fees, and updates between TerraQuest systems and your back-office platforms.

Accurate, timely data improves validation speed, reduces errors, and enhances internal decision-making and public transparency.

Integrated workflows support consistent communication with applicants and agents, improving the overall user experience and reducing avoidable contact.

For councils, integration strengthens statutory reporting, performance monitoring, and audit readiness by improving the quality and consistency of planning data.

Over time, TerraQuest integration helps build the foundation for digital planning transformation and more automated, intelligent planning workflows.

TerraQuest Planning Software Integration FAQs

What systems can TerraQuest planning software be integrated with?

TerraQuest solutions can be integrated with back-office planning systems such as IDOX Uniform, Agile Applications, Arcus Global, and bespoke planning platforms, as well as GIS systems, payments services, CRM tools, document management repositories, and corporate data platforms.

Will integrating TerraQuest change existing planning workflows?

Integrations are designed to support and streamline existing workflows, reducing manual tasks such as downloading documents or rekeying data. Any proposed workflow changes are reviewed collaboratively with planning teams to ensure they improve efficiency and compliance.

How is security managed during TerraQuest data exchange?

We use encrypted transfer methods, secure authentication, audit trails, and least-privilege access controls. All integrations align with UK GDPR, digital planning standards, and local authority data protection policies.

Can integrations support planning, building control, and other TerraQuest modules?

Yes. Integrations can support planning applications, building control submissions, document bundles, fee information, metadata, consultations, and status updates. We tailor the solution to your TerraQuest modules and organisational processes.

How do you ensure data accuracy when transferring submissions and documents?

We apply structured data mapping, schema alignment, validation rules, and automated testing across representative scenarios to ensure application data, documents, and fees transfer accurately to your back-office systems.

How much involvement is needed from planning officers or IT teams?

We handle the technical delivery but rely on planning officers, technical support teams, and IT services to validate requirements, review mappings, and participate in testing. Engagement levels are tailored to your capacity and preferred working model.

Will integration improve validation times and reduce manual effort?

Yes. Integrations significantly reduce manual workload, improve data consistency, speed up validation, and reduce administrative delays. This improves the end-to-end experience for both planning officers and applicants.

Do you provide long-term support for TerraQuest integrations?

Yes. Our managed service offering includes continuous monitoring, maintenance, optimisation, incident resolution, and updates aligned with changes to TerraQuest or your internal systems.
