What is Fulcrum?

Fulcrum is a cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP), material requirements planning (MRP), and material execution system (MES) platform designed to help job shops, OEMs, contract manufacturers, and other made-to-order manufacturers with job scheduling, quotes, production tracking, inventory management, and quality control. The solution provides real-time data tracking for creating and adjusting production schedules.

Fulcrum uses machine learning to schedule jobs automatically with custom rules based on order details, production timelines, and workstation capacity. Managers can use visual job cards and the drag-and-drop tool to modify the production queue and perform what-if scenarios, which helps improve efficiency. The solution also sends current and upcoming capacity notifications to the sales team to ensure accurate delivery dates.

With Fulcrum’s real-time inventory and cost tracking tools, businesses can allocate materials, create accurate quotes, and ensure quality control. Users can upload and store all compliance and audit documents, pictures, and reports in a centralized database. The solution integrates with various third-party platforms such as Microsoft Dynamics, Quickbooks, Salesforce, Zoho, and more.

Benefits of using Fulcrum

Scheduling: Feel confident about your schedule in a world where due dates, rush orders, and last minute changes are becoming the norm. Whether you have a simple schedule that you drag and drop to rearrange or we work with you to deploy an automatic scheduler, using smart algorithms and modern intelligence technology, you can have clear visibility on the near term, and strong confidence on a schedule that will increase throughput and efficiency, and give you a competitive edge in performance.

Live Production Tracking: Paper gets lost, takes a long time to get entered, gets destroyed, and is not the interface of the future. Live data entry means live reporting means live decisions. Turn management into a collaborative experience, saving time and money before mistakes are made, managing with more than just a rear view mirror.

Design & Engineering: Taking drawings and making them into instructions, routings, bills of material, and tolerances is an incredibly important, creative, challenging, and fun job. Putting them into a software system usually isn't. Fulcrum feels like an extension of your brain, removing the friction between you and your software so you can focus on what you do best: using your considerable brainpower to come up with clever ideas for doing things better.

Purchasing: Fulcrum uses advanced planning tools to forecast demand and visualize capacity to do the heavy lifting, getting you as close to just-in-time inventory while protecting you from being blindsided by otherwise hidden peaks and valleys.

Security: Built with the highest security standards in place, with support from the leading cloud infrastructure providers, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. The data is secure from your shop to our servers. You own your data: we protect it, back it up and host it on the shoulders of giants.
