4 Ways GoFormz Can Support Your Solar Team

How GoFormz can help your solar field and office personnel simultaneously

GoFormz revolutionizes the way businesses manage and process data. Organizations can seamlessly transition from traditional paper forms to dynamic, customizable digital forms – without disrupting existing processes. Users can design forms tailored to their specific business needs, incorporate smart fields, leverage Conditional Logic, and gain access to real-time data. With the ability to capture legally binding signatures with eSignature fields, automatically route information wherever it needs to go, automate calculations, and more, businesses can do it all with GoFormz digital forms.

Transitioning from paper to digital, translates to significant time and cost savings, reducing the need for manual data entry and minimizing the risk of errors associated with paper-based processes. In addition, GoFormz offers a robust open API and integration capability, further enhancing the ability to seamlessly pass data from one location to another. 

Here are four ways GoFormz can better support your solar teams for maximum efficiency and productivity:

Offline Data Capture

Solar service teams grapple with the challenges of inconsistent signals, limited access to back-office locations, and the unavailability of WiFi. This complexity is worse when relying on static, fillable  PDFsor applications that demand constant connectivity to access forms. GoFormz offers offline capabilities, empowering teams to seamlessly access and complete forms even in offline, remote areas. As long as periodic internet connectivity is available for updates and form uploads, your solar team enjoys the freedom to move in and out of coverage zones as needed. This functionality markedly simplifies the process for field crews, allowing them to fill out and submit digital forms once a signal is acquired, rather than waiting until the end of the workweek (or month) to physically deliver completed forms during visits to the office.

Streamlined Paperwork Processing

Instead of relying on field crews to deliver completed forms at the end of the workweek or whenever they can visit the office, your digital forms can be uploaded to the Cloud and seamlessly transferred to teammates, supervisors, customers, or integrated applications immediately upon submission. This streamlined process is facilitated through Automated Workflows, enabling your team to customize and configure the destinations for completed forms and input data. 

Automated Workflows empower your operation to automate the entire data capture and documentation process, enhancing efficiency in critical tasks such as customer communication, billing, payroll, safety procedures, and more. The versatility extends to instant uploads of your digital forms to connected systems like Smartsheet, Procore, Salesforce, Google Workspace, and Acumatica, providing your operation with real-time, highly accurate information where you can utilize it best.

More Thorough Documentation

Enhance visibility into remote job site operations by incorporating new data types like Images, GPS coordinates, electronic Signatures, and more. Instead of depending on teams to carry cameras, transcribe coordinates, or gather various authorizations on separate forms, GoFormz users can effortlessly input these new data types directly into their digital forms using their mobile devices. This not only expedites the capture of visual information but also enhances the availability of these diverse data types, enabling back-office teams to gain better insight into solar crew activities.

Real-Time Data

With digital data collection, once a form is submitted, it’s automatically ready for review and processing. This streamlined routing ensures teams immediate access to real-time data, enhancing the efficiency of their day-to-day operations. For instance, in scenarios where sign-in sheets are necessary for creating a report detailing who performs specific tasks on particular days, the completed form can automatically be directed to office personnel responsible for generating additional reports.
