Fulcrum’s new frontier: bringing lines and polygons to life

I’m excited to share some big news with you today. We’ve brought lines and polygons to Fulcrum, a move that’s been high on our clients’ wish list for quite some time. This isn’t just a new feature; it’s a big step forward in making GIS-oriented data collection and field operations more straightforward and effective, a goal I had in mind when I joined Fulcrum four years ago. And believe me, we’re just warming up. Before the integration of lines and polygons in Fulcrum, teams had to rely on separate platforms to create and modify lines and polygons, which not only fragmented the workflow but also increased the likelihood of data inconsistencies and errors. The inability to directly access, create, and share these crucial data elem...

Four approaches to creating location-aware apps

To do their jobs effectively, today’s field workforces need location-aware apps: apps that connect what’s happening — inspection data that’s being collected, or steps in a checklist that someone is checking off — with where it’s happening, or that provide users with maps to understand the location context of what they’re doing.

It’s hard to overstate the significance of this increased efficiency. We’re seeing time savings of between two and five hours per day, per employee. The cost reduction associated with that time reduction is enormous.

Rather than sending 100 people a year to do different inspections and tasks at the same site, a crew of two people can do it all at once using Fulcrum.

Before Fulcrum, two full-time employees plus a contractor were needed to perform 45 inspections a day. With Fulcrum, that rate increased to 60 inspections a day with only the two employees, eliminating the need (and expense) of an outside contractor.

Before we were able to do three inspections a day and now we can do 20 inspections a day. A lot of that just comes from the simplification of the inspection form and the default auto-population. I think it really saved a lot of time for the inspectors out in the field.
