Great GIS data starts in the field

Fulcrum turns routine fieldwork into reliable geospatial intelligence, making it easy for non-specialists to collect structured data that drives decisions and keeps systems aligned.

GIS Field Data Collection Empower your field teams with location-aware field data

From field to GIS while the work is still happening

As field teams shift from clipboards to screens, the ability to collect data in real time has become a competitive differentiator. Instead of collecting data at day’s end and re-keying notes back at the office, technicians now open a purpose-built mobile app connected to a GIS-enabled, cloud-based field process management platform 

Using mobile devices, crews scan barcodes, drop GPS pins, and attach photos, instantly streaming geospatial data to supervisors and analysts. The result is fewer transcription errors, automatic time stamps, and a live operational picture that lets managers reroute crews or request additional samples the moment anomalies appear.

Field tools and technology

Field crews rely on the field maps in mobile apps for fast, error-free data capture:

  • Guided forms keep field data entry consistent like pick-lists, range checks, and on-device validation guard the quality of every point
  • Edits sync to hosted layers the moment a signal returns, enriching corporate spatial data without manual uploads
  • Shared templates standardize field workflows, so technicians record identical field observations even when crews rotate

Real-time analytics and oversight functionality

Supervisors blend live updates with historical context to track the field data collection progress in GIS systems:

  • Overlay edits on hi-res satellite imagery to spot gaps or outliers at a glance
  • Compare current readings against archived survey data to flag trends in soil pH and other environmental qualities
  • Color-coded dashboards surface overdue sites, helping dispatch teams close loops before issues escalate

Chart new territory using advanced geospatial tools with Esri integration

Back in November when we announced our definitive Commercial Provider agreement with Esri to build on the Esri technology stack, we asked you to watch this space for updates. So, for those of you who’ve been watching (and even those who’ve maybe stepped away from the Fulcrum Focus to get a cup of coffee or something), we’ve got exciting new features and geospatial tools to share!

Field-first offline GIS for teams who work where signals don’t

Connectivity should never dictate productivity. Fulcrum gives your field teams offline GIS tools that keep work moving, no matter how remote the site or how bad the reception. From data capture to geolocation, Fulcrum equips teams to collect, map, and validate accurate records — all without needing a live connection.

Maximizing GIS capabilities with advanced geospatial data

Most geospatial data problems begin in the field. When crews rely on tools that don’t match how they work, the result is slow inspections, missing information, and records that GIS teams have to fix. This guide shows how to solve those issues at the source.

Digital transformation
