GIS data with lines and polygons
Watch the five-minute demo to see how field teams capture and manage lines and polygons without the complexity of traditional office-centric tools. The walkthrough demonstrates how to simplify field data workflows and maintain accuracy using advanced geospatial technology.
Learn moreCreate powerful, location-rich GIS data collection apps
Use a visual, drag-and-drop interface to create geospatial field data collection apps without the need for spreadsheets or custom code. Require, allow, or disable location capture in a click, and easily include advanced geospatial geometries with any app. For unique requirements, use non-proprietary JavaScript to fully customize any app or process.
See how integrated Geographic Information System (GIS) data, 3D cameras, and custom-built field apps come together in a real-world utility inspection case study.
Boost GIS data accuracy and field productivity
Automatically record geospatial data during field operations for better accuracy and reliability. Give field teams access to the GIS data, layers, and geometries they need on their preferred basemap, even when offline. Use point, line, and polygon data to bring new richness and detail to your team’s geospatial field data.

Verify geospatial data with location tracking and audit trails
Receive location tracks for video and audio captures to see where your team was and how they moved as they recorded. Get automatic geotagging on every picture. Connect to high-accuracy GPS units. And generate a GIS data audit trail to track where records were updated.
See how one customer pairs high-accuracy GPS with real-time field visibility to sharpen every inspection.
Support for all types of geospatial data
Fulcrum isn’t just about placing a pin on a map. Our platform provides the flexibility to collect, manage, and export the specific data types your GIS requires to function. By standardizing how you capture field information, we help you maintain the integrity of your entire geospatial ecosystem across utilities, construction, infrastructure, engineering, and environmental projects.
Imagery and elevation: Overlay field observations on satellite imagery and digital elevation models (DEMs) for complete geographic context.
Vector data: Capture points, lines, and polygons to represent physical assets and geospatial features directly within your mobile apps.
Geo datasets: Maintain the integrity of your geo datasets with standardized collection protocols that prevent errors before they reach the office.
APIs and platforms: Connect your field data to the Esri ArcGIS location platform and other enterprise visualization tools through automated integrations.
Integrate geospatial data in both directions
Fulcrum fits directly into your geospatial technology stack. Pull data in real time using GeoJSON, KML, and Esri Feature Services, or export field results to your preferred mapping tool. Two-way synchronization moves data seamlessly between the field and your existing GIS mapping products.
Supported formats: Geodatabase • Shapefile • SpatiaLite • SQLite • PostgreSQL • KML • GeoJSON
Advanced location controls:
Use the API to read, create, or update layers within your GIS.
Add KML and KMZ files as map layers to display external data directly in Fulcrum.
Capture video with full location and direction data to provide a precise record of every inspection.
Watch the demo to see these captures in action and verify exactly where the camera was positioned and what it was looking at.
Maximize the value of Esri
Leverage the power of a platform built on Esri’s SDK. View ArcGIS Feature Service Layers directly in Fulcrum, secured by in-app authentication to ArcGIS tools if needed. Share Fulcrum data as Feature Service Layers, or sync GIS data, including points, lines, and polygons, directly with ArcGIS solutions for streamlined geospatial data management.
See how tighter Esri integration strengthens field workflows and real-time data exchange.
Better GIS data management with Fulcrum and ArcGIS
As an Esri Member, Fulcrum expands the power of ArcGIS tools by making geospatial technology more flexible, efficient, and field-ready. See how teams use Fulcrum alongside ArcGIS to collect structured geospatial data, improve inspections, and keep field and office GIS data management workflows in sync.
See the difference a field-first GIS data collection platform makes
Eliminate the complexity and confusion of multiple bolt-on apps by standardizing on one geospatial data collection platform.
Empower teams to adapt quickly by customizing their own geospatial data collection apps — with IT and GIS team oversight as needed.
Get better data faster by integrating AI, FieldTech, office-based, and geospatial technology into field workflows.
Asset management
“We will map the connectivity between different assets using ArcGIS – then by layering in Fulcrum, we’re not just mapping the asset, we’re also collecting all the attributes, the condition, the structure design, the measurements, the big picture, and using this data to deliver a turnkey report that we include in our GIS deliverables.”
Customer story
Ease of use
“We found Fulcrum to be really easy to work with. From the user side, it was always one of our favorite apps, if not the favorite.”
Holly Palmer, Senior Specialist Data Analytics
Southern California Edison
Ease of integration
“We need ease of integration. Fulcrum really stands out for having a modern, easy-to-use interface to get data in and out.”
Gavin Kelley, Senior Software Developer
Tilson Tech
Field Operations
“We use Fulcrum for training, pole inspections, line patrol, just about any type of field operations. We incorporate it into as many places as we can in the field to see what information we can collect from our crews.”
Brian Stroud, VP & GIS Developer
GeoForce Utility Technologies
GIS lines and polygons
“We love the ability to do line and polygon sketches right in Fulcrum without having to use a third-party app. Keeping everything within the one app is great.”
