Location data quietly shapes crew productivity, planning accuracy, and public safety, whether teams realize it or not. Issue 62 of the Fulcrum Insider covers reliable geospatial data, seamless GIS workflows, and where AI actually belongs in the field. Three real-world stories round it out, showing what happens when location records fail the people who depend on them.
Inside Issue 62
