Getting to Know the GoFormz Mobile Forms and Data Capture Platform
Thinking of adding GoFormz to your digital toolbox?
Here’s everything you need to know about the GoFormz mobile forms and data capture platform.
What is GoFormz?
GoFormz is a mobile forms and data capture platform that teams across the globe use to collect information, directly from their phones, tablets, and computers. These "mobile forms" can look exactly like your paper forms, making it easy to replace existing paperwork and onboard new users. With GoFormz, you can digitize your forms in our drag-and-drop form builder, requiring no code or IT support (so you can easily get started).
Once a mobile form has been filled out and submitted, the completed document and captured data are instantly available for review and processing – eliminating the need for manual form delivery, faxing, scanning, or rekeying. Forms can even be filled out offline and synced once a signal is available, granting your team the flexibility to work anywhere, no matter how remote.
The GoFormz mobile app is available on iOS, Android, and Windows, and forms can also be filled out and completed online.
Capture new kinds of data
With GoFormz mobile forms, it’s easy to capture Images, Sketches, GPS and Maps, straight from your mobile device. Using Image fields, users can rapidly input photos and annotate them to highlight key details or hazards. With Sketch fields, users can add their own illustrations, or sketch over embedded diagrams, significantly improving and simplifying tasks like equipment inspections. Via GPS and Maps, users can enter their exact location coordinates, or GoFormz can automatically populate their location as soon as they generate a form. Finally, Barcode Scanning can be used to scan a barcode or QR code and instantly populate corresponding fields with data (e.g. scanning a barcode could instantly populate the last inspection date for a piece of equipment, a product’s SKU number, and more).
Automations, workflows, and reporting
Using GoFormz, your team can easily streamline common tasks, like form sharing, uploading data to connected systems, and automatically running reports. With GoFormz Workflows, incoming data can be processed and moved between GoFormz and your other business systems in real-time. For example, if an invoice were completed, said invoice could be used to update a connected Salesforce or Quickbooks account with collected data, and even upload a PDF copy of the completed form. Your business can also automate reporting, scheduling reports to be highly customized and run at regular intervals.
