Truly live data in everyone's hands

Live data collects in an operator-first interface that puts 3D renderings, live chat, quality checkpoints, and more right in the hands of your employees. Job Tracking not only helps operators get WIP done, but it fuels all of Fulcrum's live insights.

Legacy
Prodsmart
Limited
Legacy software means slow development cycles and a user experience that looks like the past, not the future.

Prodsmart
Standard
Checks the boxes, but doesn't significantly reduce the amount of time it takes for you team to finish work.
Fulcrum Logo White vector
Automated
Spend less time managing production and more time making better things. We're constantly looking for ways to reduce manual tasks. Automate scheduling, get purchasing recommendations, and see estimated production completion dates — all so you can do more with the time you have.
Prodsmart
Broad
Made for manufacturing but watered down by adjacent products in entertainment, media, construction, and architecture.

Manufacturing-focused
Fulcrum is focused just on manufacturing. It's big and important enough. Our mission is to dig deep and create a connected network that helps decentralized manufacturing stay at the forefront of how things get made. Forever and always.

You may be wondering...

The Prodsmart login is on their website. Where is Fulcrum's?

An arrow pointing down.

Fulcrum has a mix of ITAR customers and non-ITAR customers which means we have certain limitations of how we present our login experience. While this makes it harder for us to provide a login button on our website, each and every one of our customers gets their own company subdomain, making it feel more like your personalized software while reaping the benefits of multi-tenant software.

Prodsmart pricing has changed around a little bit. How much does Fulcrum cost?

An arrow pointing down.

We don't charge per user like many systems do, so you never have to share seats or look for workarounds. Fulcrum’s pricing factors in the size and complexity of your business and integrations and keeps payments simple: a one-time fixed implementation fee and an annual contract. Talk to our sales team for more details.

Prodsmart is an MES. What is Fulcrum?

An arrow pointing down.

There’s a lot of manufacturing software out there — ERP, MRP, MES, etc. So instead of trying to fit into a legacy category definition, we keep it simple: We deal with everything related to production, from building a quote to live job tracking to sending out the final product.

Prodsmart is used by a lot of industries. Who is Fulcrum for?

An arrow pointing down.

Our focus is on manufacturers — always has been and always will be. Whether you run a metal fabrication shop, CNC machine shop, or any other type of production process for physical goods, let’s talk.

What does it take to switch to Fulcrum?

Our in-house Launch team helps you implement Fulcrum.

And once you're using Fulcrum, you'll have continuous support at no additional charge. Ready to make the switch? Schedule some time with sales.
