Effective water monitoring is critical, especially for regions facing inadequate infrastructure and outdated systems. NestBuilders International, a consulting firm in Sierra Leone, worked with the Guma Valley Water Corporation to modernize their water monitoring processes. Fulcrum’s mobile app played a key role in improving data accuracy and efficiency.
The Guma Valley Water Corporation, Sierra Leone’s largest water provider, struggled with outdated methods for monitoring water networks. Their existing customer data was incomplete and unreliable, leading to poor billing practices and revenue losses. With Freetown’s growing population, they also faced challenges from illegal connections that weren’t recorded in their database.
NestBuilders International needed a solution that could simplify the collection of water monitoring data in the field. Using Fulcrum, their team was able to capture GPS locations, take photographs, and collect detailed information in real time. These features allowed them to quickly update records, ensuring accurate customer data for improved billing and water tracking.
Before Fulcrum, field data collection required paper surveys, followed by hours of manual data entry. This process was slow and prone to errors. With Fulcrum’s easy-to-use mobile platform, NestBuilders International significantly reduced water monitoring data collection time while improving accuracy. Supervisors could also monitor progress and review data instantly, ensuring quality control throughout the project.
By implementing Fulcrum, NestBuilders International helped modernize water data collection for Guma Valley Water Corporation. The app streamlined the entire data collection process, reduced operational costs, and improved overall performance.
