What is Cluvio?
Cluvio's shared dashboards now speak the viewer's language, down to number formats.
Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool that ships detailed, incremental releases. Since July it has translated sharing links and embeds into 25 languages, then made them format numbers and dates for the viewer's locale. It also added a dashboard change history, an organization-wide dashboard and sharing-link manager, pivot table drill-down, viewer-mode sign-in on a second device and snippet management inside the report editor.
What is Fulcrum?
Fulcrum ships Follow Mode to iOS and Android and tightens MCP sign-in.
Fulcrum, a field data collection platform, released Follow Mode on iOS and Android 2611.0.0, keeping the map centred on the collector, and Android now accepts a required GPS accuracy as fine as 0.1 m. The weekly web release redesigned the MCP authorization page to show the requesting client and organization, and fixed blank Report Builder PDFs and App MCP form validation. The Insights AI assistant opened to all customers in October.

◆ Current state
Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool that ships detailed, incremental releases. Since July it has translated sharing links and embeds into 25 languages, then made them format numbers and dates for the viewer's locale. It also added a dashboard change history, an organization-wide dashboard and sharing-link manager, pivot table drill-down, viewer-mode sign-in on a second device and snippet management inside the report editor.
◆ Where it's heading
The focus has moved toward shared and embedded dashboards: localization, sharing-link management, change history and embed reliability. That suits teams using Cluvio to serve dashboards to customers or many regions. The analyst side keeps getting careful refinements, such as pivot drill-down and snippets.
◆ Prediction
Expect more work on embeds and sharing links, such as finer locale or access controls. The entries don't show further Static Tables work since June.
Fulcrum
6.3ANALYTICS
Fulcrum ships Follow Mode to iOS and Android and tightens MCP sign-in.
◆ Current state
Fulcrum, a field data collection platform, released Follow Mode on iOS and Android 2611.0.0, keeping the map centred on the collector, and Android now accepts a required GPS accuracy as fine as 0.1 m. The weekly web release redesigned the MCP authorization page to show the requesting client and organization, and fixed blank Report Builder PDFs and App MCP form validation. The Insights AI assistant opened to all customers in October.
◆ Where it's heading
Two tracks continue: precision GPS for field crews, with external receivers and accuracy settings, and controlled access for outside AI assistants through the MCP server. Most releases are fixes on a weekly mobile and web cadence.
◆ Prediction
Expect the GPS integration to leave beta and the MCP server to move past alpha with OAuth as the default sign-in.
