Prioritize job site safety by digitally transforming your operations with digital forms

Whether your operation is a large-scale general contractor or a specialized subcontractor, job site safety is imperative for all entities. Especially with paper forms, safety and compliance can feel overwhelming – requiring manual data collection and entry. Not only does paper forms waste time and budget, but it also creates additional tedious tasks such as hand-delivery of critical documents, rekeying information, and exhausting processing and physical storage. 

Fortunately, digital forms offer new opportunities to elevate job site safety procedures and streamline workflows. Change can be cumbersome, however, GoFormz allows users to upload their existing paper forms into the platform – making it easier for teams to digitally transform their operation. Leveraging digital versions of your existing forms on tablets and phones also allows field teams the opportunity to rapidly complete forms from the field – even while offline! 

To learn more, check out these powerful features below that can take your job site safety measures to the next level:

Image and Sketch fields
Capture new data types that paper forms don’t offer like Image and Sketch fields. Provide job site visibility for office teams by including Image fields on daily reports to illustrate safety measures are being met or any safety hazards that arise. To further communicate critical details, a Sketch field can be used to annotate over Image fields. 

For example, when completing a job site safety inspection form, a Sketch field can be used over an Image to annotate key details on a job site such as a hazardous wire that field teams would rather visually show for office personnel.

Checkbox groups
For a greater means of organizing critical data, users can leverage Checkbox groups to easily note completed tasks. For example, when running through a safety checklist on a job site for a specific project, field teams can quickly document critical information by selecting multiple Checkbox fields at a time. 

By digitizing paper forms, teams eliminate opportunities for missing information, illegible documentation, and more – resulting in access to data faster and better organized documentation. 

Integrations
Integrate your business applications with the GoFormz platform to further automate your operations and streamline the flow of information. When you fill out digital forms in the field or office, data is stored automatically in our secure Cloud-based platform. This means you can retrieve and review your electronic documents, run reports, access data in real-time, and automate your workflows – resulting in increased efficiency and the most up-to-date information which is crucial for safety compliance. 

By leveraging our powerful API capabilities, users can even pre-populate forms with data from other systems (Procore, Smartsheet, Salesforce, and more). For example, pre-fill safety documents with job site information pulled from your CRM or other connected databases. 

Automatic Workflows
Eliminate the hassle of waiting for field personnel and safety professionals to turn in critical documentation and leverage Automated Workflows. This feature allows your digital forms to be instantly routed to colleagues and coworkers once certain tasks have been completed. Additionally, copies of completed PDF versions of your digital forms can even be instantly emailed to supervisors and connected to systems like Procore, Salesforce, Acumatica, Google Drive, and more. Not only does this ensure documents are reaching the appropriate destinations in a timely manner, but it simplifies collaborator communication.
