About Fulcrum
Fulcrum is cloud manufacturing software that the vendor's site describes as connecting a shop with live data for production decisions. Its modules include Job Tracking, Nesting Planning, BOM & Routing, Production Scheduling with an Autoschedule feature, Purchasing Planning, Items & Inventory, Sales & Quoting, Job Costing, Quality Control, and Live Reports. The site also lists Finance, Shipping & Receiving, and Demand Planning as product areas, and describes grouped work handling and purchase planning tools.
The site references sheet metal fabrication and precision machining as use cases, and positions the product as an alternative to systems such as ProShop, JobBOSS2/E2, and Global Shop, suggesting a fit for shops currently using legacy job-shop software. It is described as cloud-based, connecting the shop floor to live data, though the site does not detail specific deployment infrastructure such as on-premise options. The vendor states it built a dedicated launch and support team to onboard customers, and claims an 80% faster launch process, though no methodology for that figure is given.
The pages reviewed do not state any pricing figures, plans, or a pricing model; the site instead invites visitors to book a demo. Deployment is described only as cloud-based. Integrations are not detailed beyond mentions of migrating from competing systems (ProShop, JobBOSS2/E2, Global Shop) and a reference to API documentation, but no specifics of what the API connects to are given. Because of this, pricing, deployment specifics, and integration details remain unclear from the material available.
