The guide to getting field data software right

Field data software makes or breaks the systems built on top of it. When it’s slow, inconsistent, or just not built for fieldwork, the whole operation pays for it in wasted hours, missed context, and decisions based on guesswork.

GIS asset management: bringing location into asset workflows

Managing assets without location data leaves gaps. Infrastructure, utilities, and property don’t exist in isolation. Each one is part of a network with defined routes, connections, and boundaries. Yet many asset management systems treat geospatial data as optional, leading to inefficiencies, incomplete records, and planning mistakes.

Boost productivity

“Fulcrum really saves a lot of time for the inspectors in the field. Before, the department could only inspect less than half of the county’s properties each year. Now, the rate of completion is up to 90%.”

What does Fulcrum do?

Fulcrum enables organizations to standardize field data collection, customize data collection processes, and integrate field data with enterprise systems such as GIS and back-office platforms.

Are you SaaS or on-premises?

Fulcrum is strictly a Software-as-a -Service FieldTech product. Our SaaS implementation is hosted on AWS and we are SOC 2 Type II certified.

What kinds of skills do we need to implement Fulcrum?

Fulcrum deployments typically include an app administrator, proficient in basic spreadsheet management, and a business administrator responsible for user management, data analysis, and various related tasks.

What if I don’t have those skills available on my team?

We offer professional and managed services tailored to your needs. Whether you prefer training your team for independence or having us manage ongoing requirements, we can help.

Does Fulcrum work completely offline?

Fulcrum is built to function without an internet connection. When you reconnect to the internet, it will automatically sync your records and update the mobile app with new data from the cloud.

How “real-time” are you?

Fulcrum provides automatic synchronization to share records between the mobile device and the cloud. In “real-time,” this syncing occurs within seconds to a couple of minutes, depending on the amount of data captured, as long as there’s an internet connection.

Can Fulcrum connect to my sub-meter Bluetooth GPS unit?

Yes. Fulcrum uses your mobile device’s GPS location by default. When you connect a Bluetooth GPS receiver, you can configure your device to replace its built-in GPS coordinates with more accurate ones from the GPS receiver.

Can we do a proof of concept or pilot?

Absolutely! Contact us to set up a custom plan to get started.
