Tackle Field Operations Management to drive better AI, data quality, and safety
GeoAI runs in ArcGIS. Predictive maintenance runs in an EAM. Most AI investments have two things: a team doing the work, and a platform for AI to run on. That’s the gap in field operations. It has the team doing the work, but it’s never had a platform for that...
Fulcrum Insider – Issue 63
GIS reliability and EPA-driven inspection demand define this month's field operations conversation. Issue 63 of the Fulcrum Insider tackles AI and data quality gaps while stretching your Esri investment further. We also build the case for a dedicated Field Operations Management platform. Three headlines close out the issue, each one...
Alpine Energy brings field operations together on a single platform
Alpine Energy runs the electricity network across South Canterbury, New Zealand, where field safety carries real stakes. Getting tree and earth-bank data right catches hazards before they become outages. Alpine Energy's legacy systems were set to switch off on a fixed migration date. Rather than replace one tool with another,...
Beyond the backlog: Empowering field teams while strengthening your Esri core
Your GIS team shouldn't have to choose between supporting field workers and keeping pace with everything else. Join us for a practical look at mobile data collection for GIS that works with your Esri infrastructure instead of around it. When app build requests outpace capacity, field workers end up working...
Fulcrum Insider – Issue 62
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...
Why the field needs a Field Operations Management platform
Every department already has its own platform: an EAM for asset managers, Esri for GIS teams, a CRM for sales. Field crews get paper, spreadsheets, or an app nobody built for them. None of it counts as real a Field Operations Management platform. The data sheet shows what changes once...
Vibe code your way to better field operations — without starting from scratch
Using AI to vibe code a field tool sounds straightforward until you realize how much groundwork has nothing to do with the problem you set out to solve. Offline sync, spatial data, validation logic, consistent interfaces across devices: field operations demand all of it, and building it from scratch takes...
Designing environmental field workflows for constant change
In the environmental sector, regulatory and operational shift is the norm. Evolving definitions of WOTUS and changing client demands leave many firms managing their environmental field workflows in survival mode. Getting reports out the door takes priority over building something better. Leaders ready to change that will find a lot...
Vibe-coded vs. purpose-built: a field operations reality check
Building custom field apps has gotten genuinely fast and cheap, and that changes what's worth considering. It doesn't change what field software actually has to do. Vibe-coding is a real capability shift, and field operations teams are right to pay attention. The ability to describe a workflow in plain language...
