5 Digital Form Features to Improve Your Inspections
You've already digitized other aspects of your business – from payroll to customer management – so why stop at inspections?
Digitizing your inspection process can lead to incredible improvements in customer retention, internal communication, and your business’ overall efficiency. Digital forms platforms, like GoFormz, provide an easy and cost-effective means of digitizing your inspection process. Your digital inspection forms can look exactly like your existing paper inspection forms, requiring no code or IT support. Because your digital inspection forms can look just like your original documents, it’s easy to onboard new users (even the most tech-averse!).
Digital inspection forms can be filled out and completed from mobile devices, like phones and tablets, or online from a computer. Your digital forms can even be completed offline, enabling your team to continue their data capture in remote areas, uninterrupted. These digital forms can even host a variety of powerful, new data types, allowing your team to include visual context and additional information.
Ready to create your own digital inspection form in our easy-to-use, drag-and-drop form builder? Check out the five form features you should include in your digital forms to improve your inspection process:
Image fields: With Image fields, users can easily input inspection images to highlight job site concerns for back-office users.
Sketch fields: If your business requires the completion of equipment inspections, it’s best to digitize a form featuring a diagram of the equipment and add a Sketch field on the top of it – allowing users to easily annotate equipment diagrams to highlight areas of damage and other concerns. Sketch fields can also be used to easily annotate photos input into digital form Image fields.
Maps & GPS: GPS data and Maps provide increased insight into your team’s inspection activity and progress. Users can either easily input their location with a few quick taps, or a location can be automatically populated when the form is generated.
Barcode Scanning: Rapidly populate inspection equipment or location details with Barcode Scanning. Using your device’s camera, you can easily scan barcodes and instantly populate corresponding fields with an item’s SKU number, location, and more – accelerating inspection completion and improving accuracy.
Signature field: Finally, capture the Signature of users completing inspections, supervisors on site, and more, with digital Signature boxes.
ProTip: To ensure essential information is captured prior to form submission, make critical fields Required.
