Case Study: Desert Channels Queensland boosts invasive species tracking and rapid decision-making with Fulcrum

Desert Channels Queensland cuts decision-making lag to 5 minutes with Fulcrum

Desert Channels Queensland (DCQ), a not-for-profit managing natural resources across a vast area of Queensland, faced significant challenges in monitoring invasive species and environmental projects. With limited staff and resources, their traditional data collection methods were time-consuming and restricted the amount of information they could gather from landowners across the region. They turned to the vendor Fulcrum and its mobile data collection platform to overcome these hurdles.

The Fulcrum solution provided an easy-to-use, multi-platform app that worked offline, enabling DCQ to crowdsource data collection from landowners and volunteers. By implementing Fulcrum, DCQ dramatically increased the geographic spread and density of their data while slashing processing time. This allowed for near real-time decision-making, especially for feral animal control, and freed skilled staff from data entry to focus on higher-value work, maximizing their impact across the territory.
