Mergin Maps vs. Fulcrum

Mergin Maps is a field data collection tool built on the free and open-source QGIS which allows you to collect, store and synchronise your data with your team. It removes the pain of writing down paper notes, georeferencing photos and transcribing GPS coordinates. With Mergin Maps, you can get your QGIS projects into the mobile app, collect data and synchronise it back on the server. Setting up your project with Mergin Maps only takes a few minutes.

Fulcrum is the Field Operations Management platform field organizations use to run, record, and close out their work. Almost 3,000 companies run on Fulcrum, including electric, gas, water, and wastewater utilities and the engineering, construction, and inspection firms that serve them. Built specifically for the challenges of field teams, Fulcrum automates workflows, captures real-time location data, and integrates seamlessly with GIS and other systems to ensure a continuous, accurate flow of information before, during, and after inspections.
