We just wrapped up our second AS9100 audit, and thanks to Fulcrum ERP, the entire process was a breeze! Here’s what stood out: • QR Code Tracking – Real-time material and job tracking, easily scanned on an iPad. • Process Checklists – Clear, organized steps plus the ability to attach setup photos for future reference. • Modern Interface – Intuitive design that’s simple to navigate—one of the easiest systems I’ve ever used. I’ve tested plenty of ERPs, but Fulcrum’s focus on usability and efficiency has been a total game-changer for our team.
