We develop exceptional software specifically for manufacturers. This software is not only visually appealing but also highly efficient. Imagine if everything could be produced 30% faster, with better quality and increased strength. Together, we can create this future. Our aim is to help manufacturers shift to advanced software that reduces daily operational stress, maximizes the potential of skilled employees, and automates tedious tasks, allowing you to concentrate on crucial aspects like customer relations.

Fulcrum is a SaaS ERP, MRP, and MES platform designed for small and medium-sized manufacturers to enhance productivity through workflow optimization and automated data gathering. This value is delivered via a fully digital, paperless workflow utilizing machine learning, automation, predictive analytics, and advanced heuristics to boost throughput and profitability.

The manufacturing landscape is evolving. Don’t get left behind relying on outdated technology in a modern world.

For the implementation of Fulcrum, you will encounter several complex alterations that adjust the system's default behavior to better suit your processes. Therefore, when rolling out and updating this implementation, it's essential to ensure that any previously made modifications still function as expected.

Typically, the process begins with manual validation, whereby certain assigned individuals scrutinize existing functionality to ensure it operates correctly.

However, as the validation volume increases, you may find that the process becomes time-consuming, impeding progress and efficiency. Moreover, the human element introduces the risk of errors and the potential for significant issues to be overlooked.

This is where the need for an automated system to replace manual validation activities becomes apparent. Automation can significantly reduce the time and resources spent on validation, enhancing its accuracy and efficiency. Nonetheless, this process presents its own challenges:

• First, there's the issue of constant updates and test maintenance. Fulcrum is regularly updated with new versions, which could cause your test automation to fail due to subtle changes introduced in the new release. This could render a large portion of your tests obsolete, thus undermining the very purpose of test automation.
• Second, there's the requirement to hire engineers capable of building automation. These highly-skilled professionals can be challenging to find and represent a substantial investment for your organization.

Fortunately, there's a solution: testRigor. testRigor is a revolutionary human emulator that understands English and conducts tests from the perspective of an end-user. This innovative approach to automation allows your organization to simultaneously achieve multiple key objectives:

1. Enable your existing employees to build test automation, regardless of their technical proficiency. As testRigor is an AI-driven, no-code solution, setting up the environment and building tests becomes a much more seamless and efficient process compared to traditional testing tools.
2. Ensure your automation system is robust enough to withstand the release of new versions. Unlike other systems, testRigor does not rely on the detailed specifics of the implementation. This results in unparalleled stability, saving countless hours each week.
3. Enhance visibility within the team, as anyone will be able to understand the tests and contribute if needed.
