“Benefits of using Fulcrum
We previously tried to develop custom mobile applications in house, however this work required detailed configuration
of everything from mobile devices, user interfaces, databases, web hooks, and other services. Fulcrum has
allowed us to cut out worrying about managing the "middleware".

“Lessons learned
The API allows for implementing more complex workflows, but sometimes simpler, well documented applications are
much easier to manage than interfaces that "try to do it all". Identifying and communicating with power users is particularly useful for deciding on optimal workflows.

“Praise
The technical capabilities of Fulcrum are immense, and their utilization would be nowhere near where it is now had it not been for the team that are accessible and willing to listen and help anywhere you reach out to them; Fulcrum
website, social media and technical forums.

“Benefits of using Fulcrum
Data Events are a force multiplier. They can make a simple form almost interactive-like for the user, with fields and
sections changing in response to user inputs. They allow very complex logic to be executed with a few rows of
JavaScript.

“Project Overview
Field research in support of a lawsuit over the Future of Forever Wild Lands in the Adirondack Park, NY. Fulcrum was used to document the number and location of trees and cut stumps along proposed snowmobile trails in the
Adirondack Park.
16
“Benefits of using Fulcrum
Photographic evidence of each stump counted, along with spatiotemporal metadata (lat/lon and time of capture), we were able to provide ironclad proof that our stump counts were accurate, leaving the defense unable to undermine the credibility of the plaintiff's counts as
they've done in the past.17

▪ Government Oversight
▪ Environmental Enforcement
“Project Overview
Clean Air Council used Fulcrum to create maps to visualize bike parking demand in Philadelphia. Using Fulcrum to
collect bike parking data, we were able to create a report outlining gaps in bicycle parking infrastructure as well as placement recommendations for locations of bike racks. This data will help guide the City and private businesses
recommending what bike parking capacity is needed. 19
“Benefits of using Fulcrum
Fulcrum's free trial allowed us to create and test our application before field data collection. During the free trial,
we were able to conduct pilot tests and eliminate redundancies and collection method errors before the start of the study. Creating the application was user friendly and
straight-forward with amazing customer service.

“Project Overview
Our team created a standardized approach for evaluating infrastructure for “slow modes” that collects data on sidewalks and street edges, as part of the "The Slow
Speed Network Strategy for the South Bay" project for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
Authority. The mapping of this information emphasizes connectivity, safety and other major areas to target
infrastructure improvements.29

“Benefits of using Fulcrum
There are many qualities that we value in Fulcrum and at the top of the list are the ease of form development and
deployment, the ability to pre-populate the system, and the simplicity to integrate with our software. The latter is
critical as it allows visibility into the field data collection workflows for hundreds of stakeholders across many
organizations.38

“Before Fulcrum
... the inventory, movement and administration of controlled substances were documented and authorized with carbon copy paper forms. Records were physically stored (filed away) and retrieved again when needed. To
generate statistics and reports, the data had to be collected, reviewed, and then compiled into a more usable
format.43
Real-time information from anywhere
Better anticipate when orders need to be made for more drugs to replace use. All of that can now be done no matter where the administrator is physically located.
Time savings
Fulcrum has saved me a lot of time by speeding up a record keeping process that used to be excruciatingly slow on paper.
Error reduction
We have almost completely eliminated errors.

“Project Overview
Fulcrum allowed the research team to precisely locate the addresses of a random sample of licensed tobacco
retailers in NYC. The record assignment tool made dividing the data collection workload simple and efficient. Using the
app's photo upload feature, the researchers photo-documented storefronts that are saturated with
advertisements for cigarettes, cigars, and other products.46
