GoFormz is the only online form builder that allows you to create a digital form that maintains the look and feel of existing paper forms. This is incredibly helpful for employees that may not be as comfortable with digital processes and can empower your team to complete forms in an efficient and effective manner. As your team is already familiar with the paper document, transitioning to a digital version of the form will decrease errors in data collection. Additionally, for many industries, it is critical that the document’s branding or formatting is preserved due to compliance or regulatory requirements.

For example, let’s say you are collecting a registration form that requires an electronic signature. Online form signature fields are easy to build by creating a required Signature Field within GoFormz. This is a seamless way for your team to get the document signed and eliminates the time needed for a customer to physically come into an office to hand in the form.

List View is an ‘app-like’ index of form fields that you can customize for your business needs.
