Technology Category	Platform as a Service (PaaS) - Data Management Platforms
Applicable Industries	Agriculture
Applicable Functions	Field Services Quality Assurance
Use Cases	Real-Time Location System (RTLS) Remote Asset Management
Services	Data Science Services
Challenge	GreenCollar, an environmental markets company, manages over 445,000 acres of forest in Australia. They use environmental markets to protect these forests from deforestation, which requires technical survey, monitoring, evaluation, and management systems. These systems also need to be audited by third parties and government agencies. The company collects a variety of data, including forest biomass data, flora & fauna survey data, verification of roads and tracks, monitoring of farm infrastructure condition, and assessment data on a property to examine a project’s ability to move into the next phase of analysis. However, the large volume of data collection and management, along with the need to complete projects efficiently, was restricted by the delay between collecting data in the field and analyzing it back at the head office to determine the next steps of their projects.

Solution	GreenCollar Group uses Fulcrum not only to collect data, but also as a navigation and feature validation tool. The data collection, observations, and general management of Green Collar’s projects now operate in real-time, which has significantly changed the business. If they detect a change from their remote sensing systems, or need data collected to make an instant decision, they get a team on the ground and have data instantly syncing back to head office enabling zero time-lag decision making. As data is syncing, they can feed it into their database or report on an event immediately by exporting data in tables or pdf reports. This not only allows real-time management of information but has taken out several processes for data analysis and reporting. Read More Log in to view content
