Case Study: Community Alliance of Baja California Sur achieves rapid, georeferenced COVID-19 relief delivery tracking with Fulcrum

Providing support during the COVID-19 pandemic using georeferenced data

Fulcrum worked with the Cancer Registry of Baja California Sur and the Community Alliance to solve a COVID-19-era data and logistics challenge: field teams were collecting patient and delivery information on paper, manually entering imprecise locations, and struggling to coordinate thousands of support-package deliveries across a nearly 1,000 km, largely rural state while also tracking vulnerable health conditions. The organizations needed a fast, transparent, and trainable way to georeference recipients, avoid duplicate deliveries, and generate reliable databases for donors and public-health planning.

The team adopted Fulcrum’s mobile data-collection platform, which allowed offline data capture, immediate syncing, and easy export for analysis. After a quick trial (200+ mapped points) they recorded and geo-referenced more than 1,240 deliveries by April 16, expect to scale to ~40,000 packages per 15-day rounds, and trained volunteers — including Army, Navy, National Guard and police — in 10–15 minutes each. The result: faster, more accurate field operations, greater transparency for stakeholders, and automated databases ready for AI-driven analysis to target resources and monitor high-risk cases.
