Effective hazard mapping is essential for safely identifying and clearing landmines and unexploded ordnance in post-conflict regions. The HALO Trust, dedicated to making these areas safe for communities, has improved its operations with Fulcrum’s real-time data collection platform. This technology helps HALO streamline its field processes, ensuring more efficient and accurate mapping of hazardous areas.
Before implementing Fulcrum, HALO relied heavily on manual data entry, which caused delays in decision-making and reduced operational efficiency. Now, HALO’s field teams use Fulcrum to collect essential data in real time. They log the exact locations of landmines, track progress on demining operations, and record reports of unexploded ordnance from local residents. Fulcrum’s real-time syncing feature allows decision-makers at HALO to allocate resources quickly and effectively. This enables teams to prioritize demining efforts where they are needed most, improving overall safety and productivity.
Fulcrum also supports offline functionality, which is critical for HALO’s teams working in remote areas without internet access. Field teams can view hazard maps, log contaminated areas, and update cleared zones, even when offline. Once they regain connectivity, the data syncs automatically, ensuring that the most up-to-date information is always available. This offline capability allows HALO to continue mapping and clearance operations uninterrupted, even in challenging environments.
Fulcrum’s customizable apps allow HALO to adapt its data collection to fit specific project needs. From tracking anti-vehicle mines to conducting post-clearance assessments, Fulcrum helps HALO gather data efficiently. The reduction in time spent on manual data entry allows HALO to focus more on clearing hazardous areas and protecting communities.

“The simplicity of setting up Fulcrum apps and exporting & analyzing the results means HALO has been able to conduct studies which would previously have been too resource-intensive.”
