Overview
Fulcrum North Sea is a specialist consultancy based in Aberdeen, delivering expert functional safety services to the energy sector. With a focus on compliance, assurance, and risk management, Fulcrum needed a smarter way to manage the generation of complex safety reports while maintaining traceability, quality, and speed.
Novecom Digital partnered with Fulcrum to design and deliver a bespoke platform that supports the end-to-end process of functional safety analysis. Built to reflect Fulcrum’s proven methodology, the system allows consultants to log assessments, track progress, and generate highly structured reports — all within a single, consistent environment.
The platform streamlines data entry and standardises outputs, significantly reducing the time taken to produce safety documentation. With integrated logic, it supports safety lifecycle alignment and improves the overall integrity of the data presented to clients. Crucially, it ensures every output can be traced back to its source, helping Fulcrum maintain compliance with industry standards.
Beyond current operations, Fulcrum and Novecom are now exploring how the platform can evolve into a scalable, cloud-based solution. This would enable greater collaboration with clients and support Fulcrum’s ambitions to diversify into adjacent markets, leveraging digital tools as a competitive differentiator.
The result is a robust, sector-specific tool that enhances service delivery and underpins Fulcrum’s next phase of growth in the safety and compliance domain.
