Become more efficient with streamlined, real-time data with GoFormz mobile forms

The conventional way of dealing with paper forms can be quite time-consuming, taking days or even weeks to process, organize, and analyze data. It's not the most efficient method and is prone to human errors and unpredictable delays.

For example, if a field technician visits the office twice a week to submit paper reports, the office then has to go through the tedious process of sorting, filing, and entering the data into the relevant systems, based on the technician's infrequent schedule. By the time the data is fully processed, it's likely to be a week or two old. Hence, decision-makers and supervisors end up basing their decisions on outdated field data. This can also slow down payroll, invoicing, and billing processes, causing unnecessary delays in your overall business.

When using mobile and online forms to capture data in the field, information is instantly available as soon as the field operative hits submit. The office can even set up alerts for immediate notification when this data is received. Additionally, GoFormz allows for the creation of workflows to automate data flow, ensuring it seamlessly integrates into the appropriate databases and backend systems.

Customer Mobile Form Use Cases 

Here’s a breakdown of how customers are leveraging mobile forms to streamline collaboration, communication, and enhance internal processes:

• Aldridge Electric: The leading electrical contractors in the country needed a mobile form solution to integrate with Procore and keep accurate records of their safety forms, allowing their field crew to seamlessly complete them on the go. With List View, the field teams are now able to fill out forms on any device and keep their data secure and organized.

• The Noel Company: This construction company was filling out paperwork at job sites and then manually delivering completed forms to the main office, wasting significant time and losing revenue due to missing documentation. After turning to GoFormz mobile forms, the job site superintendents are now equipped with iPads, enabling their field team to complete and share documentation in real-time, even at remote locations with no internet connection.

• Reynolds Machinery: This manufacturer needed a way to digitize their pen and paper processes, which created numerous opportunities for delayed, damaged, or lost documentation. With traveling technicians saddled with paper forms for weeks at a time, Reynolds Machinery required a mobile-friendly solution to grant real-time access to completed forms. Leveraging List View, technicians can now fill out documents on their mobile devices, eliminating delays and opportunities for missing documents, while simplifying the form-filling process.
