Fulcrum today announced new workflow capabilities that improve performance among mobile teams by creating data-driven processes for workgroups and business units, while extending and enhancing CRM applications, asset management platforms, and other enterprise systems using data captured from the field. Novice “citizen” developers can leverage these capabilities within the Fulcrum platform to build dynamic workflows without coding knowledge.
The new functionality solidifies Fulcrum’s position as the industry’s leading no-code SaaS platform for streamlining mobile data collection, automating workflows, and providing data-driven insights that drive digital transformation for mobile workforces.
"Fulcrum’s powerful mobile data collection capabilities have been integral to our solutions for years, so we’re excited to see the native workflow automation addition to the platform," said Chris Bartlett, chief technology officer, Sequel Group. "It’s becoming a more complete, end-to-end no-code application platform that mitigates risk, speeds up project completion, and ensures cost-effectiveness for our customers."
Fulcrum’s workflow automation capabilities allow users to boost mobile productivity and reduce costs by harnessing the data collected to initiate a process that can be rapidly configured and maintained without IT support. Customers can now:
John Bratincevic, senior analyst at Forrester focusing on citizen developers, low-code development platforms, and digital process automation, said, “…[Low-code] platforms are generally used to tackle many variants of ‘business applications.’ Customer relationship management, order management, logistics management, marketing automation, many kinds of inspections, tracking pretty much everything under the sun, project management, online marketplaces, field services, financial processes, many forms of operations management. . . almost anything! These ’citizen developers’ usually start with simple workflow or tracking apps…if the person can use spreadsheets, he or she can handle doing at least some development using low-code platforms.”
“For years, customers have relied on Fulcrum as the gold standard for building and deploying apps that simplify data collection in the field without requiring IT support,” said Jim Grady, chief executive officer, Fulcrum. “With the delivery of workflow automation to complement our data collection and analysis capabilities, we are now transforming the way customers manage their mobile workforces by allowing them to take a data-driven approach to process improvement while avoiding IT backlog. By empowering the people closest to field processes to effect change based on data and analysis, we are unlocking significant enterprise value in terms of time and cost savings.”
