Customer story

Boost productivity

Northpower testimonial logo

“Before Fulcrum, 2 full-time employees plus a contractor were needed to perform 45 inspections a day. With Fulcrum, that rate increased to 60 inspections a day with only the two employees, eliminating the need (and expense) of an outside contractor.”
