Fulcrum is a field data collection app that gives field teams the map, the form, and the record in one place. GIS software captures, stores, and interprets geographic data across locations, boundaries, and spatial frameworks — Fulcrum puts that geographic intelligence to work at the point of capture, so field teams bring GIS data and mobile data collection into day-to-day operations.
Fulcrum builds its GIS field data collection software around real field operations. Digital forms, customizable forms, and smart checklist forms give teams accurate field data capture at the source. As a result, the data comes back structured, located, and immediately actionable.
Fulcrum connects GPS locations, media capture, inspection results, and geospatial data in one map-based mobile app. Organizations managing inspections, asset management, environmental field data collection, and utility network assets run on a single platform. Field crews collect data from mobile devices, work offline, and sync records to cloud-based data storage when connectivity returns.
Fulcrum leads in GIS field data collection software, with advantages in development speed, process automation, enterprise platform consolidation, and universal extensibility.
Fulcrum provides the fastest path from requirement to deployed mobile data collection app. For example, drag-and-drop form creation handles conditional logic, repeatable sections, and field validations without proprietary code.
Fulcrum exchanges data with other systems before, during, and after field activities. Real-time integration across platforms like IBM Maximo and Procore comes standard. Native email and SMS workflows and point-and-click PDF report generation are also included.
Fulcrum integrates with Esri ArcGIS and ArcGIS Online, with offline basemaps and layers included. In addition, non-GIS information stays isolated from GIS without requiring related tables so operations teams build and maintain apps without GIS or enterprise team support.
Fulcrum is the most extensible field platform available, with options for every skill level on your team. Anyone can build apps with drag and drop, and developers can add data events, API integrations, and AI-built app extensions. Every extension runs on Fulcrum’s existing security, permissions, and data structure, so IT has no separate system to maintain.
Fulcrum’s enterprise-level customer success team is available via chat, email, or phone at every step. Additionally, your team gets hands-on guidance for data accuracy, digital workflows, offline data collection, and real-time data syncing.

What does Fulcrum do?
Fulcrum is the Field Operations Management platform field organizations use to run, record, and close out their work. Electric, gas, water, and wastewater utilities and the engineering, construction, and inspection firms that serve them run asset management, vegetation management, linear construction, and emergency response and disaster recovery on Fulcrum, capturing an AI-ready record of every job.
Is Fulcrum SaaS or on-premises?
Fulcrum is strictly a Software-as-a-Service FieldTech product. Fulcrum’s SaaS implementation is hosted on AWS and we are SOC 2 Type II certified.
How is Field Operations Management different from Field Service Management?
FSM software supports the customer-facing side of a business with tools for dispatching, scheduling, and routing service calls. FOM supports organizations that build, inspect, and maintain their own infrastructure across asset management, vegetation management, linear construction, and disaster recovery. Fulcrum is the FOM platform for the field teams and contractors who keep that infrastructure running.
Do I need to be a coder to build Fulcrum apps?
Fulcrum’s drag-and-drop app builder lets anyone on your team create a working app with no coding experience. Fulcrum’s AI tools can also turn a plain-language description of your workflow into a working app. Either way, every app automatically includes offline capture and sync, native GIS, and enterprise security.
What if my team needs help building or managing Fulcrum apps?
Fulcrum’s professional services team can build your apps, train your team to run Fulcrum independently, or both. Teams that want ongoing support can hand app management to Fulcrum’s managed services.
How real time is Fulcrum?
Fulcrum provides automatic synchronization to share records between the mobile device and server. In real time, this syncing occurs within seconds to a couple of minutes as long as there’s an internet connection.
Does Fulcrum work with Esri ArcGIS?
Fulcrum integrates with Esri ArcGIS and ArcGIS Online, and offline basemaps and layers are included. Non-GIS information stays isolated from your GIS without requiring related tables, so operations teams can build and maintain apps without GIS or enterprise team support.
Can Fulcrum connect to my sub-meter Bluetooth GPS unit?
Fulcrum uses your mobile device’s GPS by default. Connecting a Bluetooth GNSS receiver replaces the device coordinates with the receiver’s, which is how teams reach sub-meter accuracy for asset and boundary capture.
Will Fulcrum do a proof of concept or pilot?
Fulcrum will do proof of concept or pilots. Contact us to set up a custom plan to get started.
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 server.
