How Fulcrum optimizes water utility field operations
Streamlined asset management
Optimize your water utility asset management with enhanced data collection capabilities. Standardize field data gathering to improve efficiency and accuracy. Use GIS to map asset locations, ensuring reliable identification and tracking. Seamlessly integrate with FieldTech tools like sensors and panoramic cameras to streamline the flow of information from field to office.
Lead service line replacement
Accurately document and manage lead service lines within your water systems by providing your field teams with tools for precise inspection and identification of lead sources. Use GPS for exact location verification to ensure compliance, facilitate streamlined audits, and improve public transparency with accessible maps and databases.
Proactive stormwater management
Enhance your stormwater management efforts by conducting quick, efficient surveys, even in remote locations. Customize forms to ensure consistent data collection and integrate high-quality documentation through photos and videos. Use GIS mapping for precise location tracking and proactive stormwater system management, identifying high-risk areas before problems escalate.
Efficient disaster response
Strengthen disaster response and recovery efforts through real-time, bidirectional communication between control centers and field teams. Use offline functionality for uninterrupted data collection and access in remote environments. Integrate GIS for accurate location tracking to support swift adaptation to changing conditions, improving overall coordination and response times.

Resource libraryAsset management
“We will map the connectivity between different assets using ArcGIS – then by layering in Fulcrum, we’re not just mapping the asset, we’re also collecting all the attributes, the condition, the structure design, the measurements, the big picture, and using this data to deliver a turnkey report that we include in our GIS deliverables.”
Customer story
Data quality assurance
“Comparing our pre-Fulcrum days to now, we’ve seen a 30 percent reduction in data QA and management time.”
