Fulcrum Partners With KPMG to Target Utility Grid Resilience and Field Execution Gaps

New updates have been reported about Fulcrum.

Fulcrum has entered into a strategic collaboration with KPMG LLP aimed at helping electric utilities tighten field execution, strengthen operational resilience, and improve the quality of asset and work data used in enterprise decision-making. The partnership combines Fulcrum’s AI-driven field process management and data collection platform with KPMG’s energy-sector advisory capabilities to address utilities’ challenges around aging infrastructure, workforce turnover, rising regulatory scrutiny, and climate-related stresses on the grid. By aligning field activities with executive-level strategies, Fulcrum positions itself as a central operational layer that can standardize how inspections, repairs, and maintenance are executed and documented in the field, replacing fragmented legacy tools, spreadsheets, and paper-based processes.

Under the collaboration, Fulcrum’s platform will be used to enforce procedural rigor in frontline work, reduce variability in field execution, and embed safety and compliance directly into digital workflows while providing auditable, geospatially accurate records of every task. Executives and asset managers at utility clients are expected to gain faster field-to-office data cycles and more reliable, real-time visibility into asset conditions, enabling more defensible decisions in areas such as capital allocation, resilience investments, reliability improvements, and climate risk mitigation. Fulcrum CEO Jim Grady frames the initiative as solving the “last-mile” problem of digital transformation in utilities, where robust plans often fail in execution due to disjointed field tools. With nearly 3,000 organizations already using its platform across utilities and infrastructure, this KPMG collaboration is intended to deepen Fulcrum’s presence in the energy sector, expand its role in grid modernization programs, and position the company as a key enabler of operational integrity and regulatory readiness for utility operators.
