Fulcrum

Fulcrum is a field data collection and inspection platform from Spatial Networks, Inc., a St. Petersburg, Florida company. Admins build inspection forms in a drag-and-drop builder with conditional logic, repeatable sections and linked records. Field crews then fill those forms on iOS or Android phones and tablets, capturing photos, audio, video, barcodes, signatures and GPS locations. The app works offline and syncs once a connection returns. Every record is tied to a location and can be viewed on maps, which is why GIS-heavy groups such as utilities, local governments, engineering firms and inspection contractors use it. Pricing is per user with an annual subscription and a minimum of five users. Professional is listed at $43 per user per month with 100 GB of storage. Elite is $55 per user per month with 500 GB and adds AI audio fill, ArcGIS Enterprise connectivity, API access, webhooks, SSO and SCIM. Enterprise is quoted individually. Integrations include two-way ArcGIS Online and Enterprise sync, IBM Maximo, Power BI, Zapier and Power Automate. Fulcrum holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification and lets customers choose a hosting region in the US, Canada, the EU or Australia. The main limitation is that Fulcrum is an inspection and data capture tool, not a full maintenance system. It has no native work order planning, spare parts tracking or sensor monitoring, so it is usually paired with a CMMS such as Maximo. Reviewers also say reporting is limited unless you use an outside BI tool.
