Fulcrum announced that its Field Inspection Management platform has been enhanced with next-generation intelligent team automation capabilities. Intelligent team automation provides a game-changing new way for safety, quality, and maintenance inspection teams to dramatically improve productivity, operational excellence, and overall organization performance at scale.
Fulcrum’s new intelligent team automation capabilities include a complete framework for managing issues and tasks, as well as the industry’s first lightly configurable solution for streamlining scale safety, quality, and maintenance inspections.
Intelligent team automation will revolutionize the way safety, quality, and maintenance teams conduct inspections, with enhanced functionality to:
- Streamline inspections on Day 1 by automating inspection processes out-of-the-box — and at scale
- Using performance dashboards and end-to-end inspection program visibility, unify inspection teams while optimizing each role.
- Using a single-pane-of-glass view across teams and projects, gain actionable inspection insights across the organization.
Fulcrum enables organizations to gain complete, end-to-end visibility across all inspection teams by digitizing their inspection processes, which promotes collaboration and reduces remediation time.
Insights derived from Fulcrum-based inspection processes assist them in demonstrating their safety and quality posture, which directly influences their ability to negotiate insurance contracts, acquire new customers, provide critical information to regulators and third parties, as well as take action and make better decisions based on events and trends.
Larger organizations in the construction, engineering, utilities, and other industries will benefit the most from the new “public issues” capability, which allows anyone on-site to report a hazard or other issue in real-time by scanning a QR code with their mobile device without downloading any software.
This allows for a “see it, report it” approach to reporting safety and quality issues across entire work sites.
“Fulcrum has been our go-to field inspection management platform for years now, and this release raises the bar for team management,” said Chris Agneta, who manages field technology at Precision Valley Communications of Vermont to provide planning, mapping, and design services for fiber, cable, and utility companies.
“I believe that the new out-of-the-box issue and task management framework will enable businesses of all sizes to deploy a scalable issue tracking and resolution framework without the need for complex data models or automation.
With the addition of Intelligent Team Automation to the Fulcrum platform, businesses will be able to shorten deployment timelines while lowering costs, allowing them to execute high-quality work in a safer environment.”
“New government investment in infrastructure, increasing maintenance costs, government oversight, and labor challenges are driving demand for digitized safety and quality inspections,” said Fulcrum CEO Jim Grady.
“By creating the platform needed to manage teams for safety and quality inspections, we’re delivering unprecedented service to a large and growing, but historically underserved, market.”
