Testimonials
“Fulcrum was BEYOND helpful in the process of navigating our new fingerprinting requirements. No other vendor that I spoke with even came close to offering this level of patience and expertise. It was definitely the driving force behind our decision to use Fulcrum for our fingerprint criminal history checks.
The equipment set up and training was a breeze. Fulcrum was phenomenal at explaining the equipment and software, and beyond patient. The fingerprinting process is very easy to navigate, but any time we do have questions, Fulcrum is immediately responsive.”
