“Software doesn't have to be complicated. The software you use in your personal life (Facebook, Uber, Amazon, etc.) is intuitive and you don't need training to understand how it works. Why should the manufacturing business's — the visionary, devoted, highly skilled craftspeople that build the future — software be any different? We're helping manufacturers transition to cutting-edge, future-proof software that lowers the stress of everyday operations, gets more out of good employees that are difficult to hire, automates tedious tasks, and operates more efficiently than competitors.”

“Hiring people with diverse backgrounds has been intentional and integral to growth at Fulcrum. Instead of focusing on hiring people with direct manufacturing or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) experience, Sunny has chosen to seek those with high aptitude, high levels of curiosity, and the ability to come up with creative solutions. Fulcrum is focused intensely on doing something that is very important, very difficult, and has never been done before. By bringing in talented people with origins in NASA, Fortune 500 retail, visual artists, and professional sports to name just a few, Sunny has created an environment with high standards and as little industry baggage as possible. As a result, Fulcrum’s unique team is able to take a novel approach to the problems facing manufacturers.”

“We are a hybrid team, with half of the company working in various locations away from our Minneapolis headquarters, but we believe strongly in the value of spending time together in the same location. We historically have remote company meetings, bi-annual in-person company gatherings, and frequent visitors to HQ. This has helped us foster an environment of trust for faster, better decision-making.”
