How Residential Contractors Are Saving Time & Money with Digital Forms
Digitize your contractor forms and reap the benefits of digital transformation through incredible savings and enhanced professionalism
Now, more than ever, finding ways to save money, be more efficient, and be productive is paramount. With the global pandemic, businesses have been forced to digitize their operations to keep pace with the challenges of remote offices, social distancing, online shopping, and much more. Modernizing your operations with digital software and tools allows your business to maintain productivity, simplify collaboration, and streamline communication, regardless of your location.
“GoFormz saves us around $350,000 a year… it has allowed us to get more sales and work, without hiring more people.”
With more people working from home in hybrid or remote work environments, more and more people are putting time and effort into modernizing their homes – resulting in high demand for general contractors, meaning more proposals, bids, and agreements than ever before.
Fortunately, GoFormz offers a powerful tool that modernizes business operations and improves productivity, regardless of the industry type. Digital forms have proven time and time again to be a useful tool for companies looking to improve their operation efficiently while reducing employee time spent on administrative paperwork and in-person services.
GoFormz digital forms allow team members at various job sites and locations to instantly submit documentation for real-time processing, even while offline. This is extremely beneficial for those residential contractors that may be working in secluded areas where the internet is spotty. Even better, rather than relying on employees to physically turn in critical documents in person for review, GoFormz allows users the ability to input and submit data in real-time, allowing your operation more time on a job site to remain on schedule.
Using mobile forms to capture data also enhances operational visibility for teams collaborating in different geographic regions. With new data types, mobile forms can be used to capture Images, Sketches, GPS and Maps, and much more! These features provide visual context, providing businesses with higher quality data, resulting in operations the ability to garner actionable insights in real-time. Leveraging the GoFormz Reporting Tool, contractors can have better insight into productivity and business opportunities – resulting in data-driven decision-making opportunities.

Digital Forms: Contractor Templates
Residential contractors are often churning out various proposal bids all at once. You can seamlessly garner actionable insights from that data by digitizing your contractor proposal templates using the GoFormz platform. You can even have data automatically updated within your database through Automated Workflows – eliminating manual rekeying of information and critical data for administrators. When your operation is awarded a project, leverage Automated Workflows to trigger actions as soon as your operation is handed over the project – elevating professionalism, productivity, and efficiency within your organization.
Customer Operational Savings Story: NTL Pipelines
NTL Pipelines needed a more efficient means of collecting data on job sites and delivering it to the office for processing and review. With teams working in remote areas, NTL Pipelines needed a digital solution that would be both fully functional offline, and easy for their teams to learn to use. Therefore, NTL Pipelines sought out GoFormz to digitize its forms, routing, and record-keeping. Leveraging Automated Workflows and the Box integration, NTL’s completed forms are now instantly routed to supervisors for review and authorization, and centrally stored within Box folders.
With expedited data processing and simplified data collection for mobile teams and drivers, NTL Pipelines now saves roughly an hour a day, resulting in an approximate daily savings of $20,000.
