Fulcrum delivers value through a fully digital, paperless workflow leveraging machine learning, automation, predictive analytics, and advanced heuristics to drive throughput and profitability. \n\nSoftware doesn't have to be complicated. The software you use in your personal life (Facebook, Uber, Amazon, etc.) is intuitive, and you don't need training to understand how it works. Why should your business software be any different? We're helping manufacturers transition to cutting-edge, future-proof software that lowers the stress of everyday operations, gets more out of good employees who are difficult to hire, automates tedious tasks, and operates more efficiently than what exists in the manufacturing software space today.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/a15fa49d-d0ae-4ac4-bac7-468e4f6e90e1.png","url":"https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/188636/fulcrum-pro","@id":"https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/188636/fulcrum-pro#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.capterra.co.uk/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.9,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":15},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Linux, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@id":"https://www.capterra.co.uk/compare/67921/188636/hydra-software/vs/fulcrum-pro#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Manufacturing Execution Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/30033/manufacturing-execution/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"HYDRA X vs Fulcrum","position":3,"item":"https://www.capterra.co.uk/compare/67921/188636/hydra-software/vs/fulcrum-pro","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
