Customer Stories

“We could do something like this with our existing GIS platform, but we just don’t have the luxury of time to deploy such an application during this emergency period. But with Fulcrum, it’s ready to go out of the box.”

Fulcrum allows me to carry a topographic map, LiDAR derived terrain, high-resolution imagery, previously collected field data, a notebook, camera, inclinometer, and a GNSS/GLONASS enabled GPS within a single device that’s tied to the cloud.

We can have field teams on the phone talking to us whilst the data they are discussing is popping up on our screen back at base. This allows us to operate dynamically with field staff as opposed to the old way of getting data in, analyzing it then informing them days later on what is required.

The simplicity of setting up Fulcrum apps and exporting and analyzing the results means HALO has been able to conduct one-off studies such as a recent survey to assess the effectiveness of risk education campaigns, which would previously have been too resource-intensive.

"Fulcrum's capabilities greatly increase our confidence that we are providing our customers with a quality product and a great experience."

The ease of setup and use of the apps were - and still are - the most attractive features of Fulcrum. There are so many great features that let us adapt every app for the specific monitoring protocol as well as personal preferences.

"What immediately attracted me to it was the ease of it and the user friendliness of it [Fulcrum]. It takes less than half an hour, then all of our interns are also able to enter their own data."

With no steep learning curve, the IDA crew collected field data and geo-tagging records within minutes using the Fulcrum app, and then managed and exported this data into a variety of formats.

“Fulcrum is our go-to because we don’t have to worry about the technology. We know that it will work. We can just worry about everything else.”
