A Fulcrum Case Study
Mubesko Africa, a consulting practice that assists government councils with fixed-asset management in South Africa, faced a challenge. Their field processes for verifying assets and tracking maintenance teams were largely paper-based or relied on technicians manually typing data into laptops, which was cumbersome, prone to error, and inefficient. They needed a mobile solution to streamline this fieldwork.
They implemented Fulcrum, a mobile data collection platform. Fulcrum provided a simple, spatial-enabled app for iOS and Android that guided technicians to asset locations and allowed them to capture photos linked directly to the data. This eliminated manual data merging. The results included significant time and cost savings by removing post-field data entry, along with greatly improved data accuracy and quality control, as managers could review work in near real-time via Fulcrum's web viewer.
