Field ops work better when the platform fits
Your field software shouldn’t dictate how your work gets done. Fulcrum’s platform is built to adapt, giving you structure for consistency, flexibility to match your workflow, and integration to connect your other systems.
This is what a field-first platform looks like in action.
“For CIOs and digital transformation leaders looking to streamline field operations, the category of location-enabled Field Process and data Collection Platforms offers a transformative alternative to outdated methods. These platforms are a critical tool for driving efficiency, flexibility, and ensuring data accuracy across field operations.”

GIS data collection workflows in Fulcrum
Fulcrum establishes a digital thread that moves data from initial setup to final analysis without manual re-entry.
- Step 1: Standardize forms. Define requirements using repeatable sections, conditional logic, and classification sets.
- Step 2: Deploy apps. Launch location-enabled apps to field teams on any mobile device to replace manual paperwork.
- Step 3: Capture location. Collect geospatial data including points, lines, and polygons using native GPS or Bluetooth receivers.
- Step 4: Sync records. Transfer data automatically from the mobile device to the cloud at the moment of capture.
- Step 5: Validate accuracy. Verify work location and timing through geostamped audit trails.
- Step 6: Integrate systems. Move field data into ArcGIS or other platforms using APIs and standard formats like shapefiles or GeoJSON.
- Step 7: Collaborate. Share results via web services or data shares to keep field and office teams coordinated

Inspections
Maintain asset integrity with AI-assisted, automatically geotagged inspections to deliver reliable asset management data.
Maintenance SOPs
Make it fast and easy for field workers to prove their compliance with repair and maintenance processes.
Field Processes
Streamline processes with enhanced workflow builders smart tech installs, vegetation management, remediation tasks, and more.
Safety
Reduce field risks with flexible, easy-to-use tools and survey templates for tracking everything from lockout/tagout and tailgate talks to confined space permits.
Bridging the gap from field capture to office action
A workflow is only as good as the data feeding it. Here is how that looks when your field teams and your office systems finally speak the same language.
- Interact with live ArcGIS layers. Connect field crews to office data through secure, real-time in-app authentication to view and update existing feature services.
- Map points, lines, and polygons together. Capture complex geospatial geometries like an asset point, a utility line, and a boundary polygon within a single, standardized digital form.
- Work with offline spatial data. Maintain productivity in remote areas by using customizable basemaps and layers that display geometries and attributes without a cellular signal.
- Verify work with geostamped audits. Ensure data integrity with automated trails that track the exact location and time of field activity.
- Automate tasks with field data events. Trigger instant notifications, validations, or workflow changes automatically based on the specific location or attributes of a captured record.
- Convert speech to structured data. Turn spoken observations into organized data fields using AI-powered Audio FastFill.
- Move data into GIS-ready formats. Export field results for immediate use in office platforms via shapefiles, KML, or GeoJSON.
- Query data with Fulcrum Insights. Ask plain-language questions to receive immediate textual answers, charts, and maps without specialized training.
