Enable efficient coordination and deployment through real-time communication and data sharing among technicians and managers, accelerating the restoration process. Store and review outage data and recovery actions using AI-enhanced systems to refine future response strategies.
Preserve the grid
Improve electric utility infrastructure security by collecting detailed geospatial data for key security features such as barriers and fencing around utility assets, allowing for the rapid deployment of electrical field teams to tackle vulnerabilities. Guide maintenance schedules and mitigate risk with accurate asset tracking data, enhanced with GIS visualizations and integrated with information gathered through FieldTech tools like drones and sensors.
Optimize power pole maintenance
Revolutionize electric utility pole inspections with advanced digital data collection for grid operations and precise documentation of conditions and locations, seamlessly integrating asset management data. Leverage FieldTech tools like drones and sensors to inform maintenance and replacement timelines, standardize asset maintenance inspection protocols across teams, and ensure consistency, extending pole lifespan and enhancing the reliability of your power distribution network.
Challenges in electric utility field operations

“We use Fulcrum for training, pole inspections, line patrol, just about any type of field operation. We incorporate it into as many places as we can to see what information we can collect from our crews.”
Brian Stroud, Vice President and GIS Developer

Boost productivity
“Before Fulcrum, 2 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.”
