How Digital Forms Reduce Administrative Overhead

Reduce administrative overhead with digital forms and data capture

Administrative overhead (like printing paper, clip boards, and binders) can be a detrimental burden for your bottomline, that often goes unnoticed. Rather than slashing spend across your operation, reducing your administrative overhead is a more practical, sustainable method of improving your bottom-line.

So how can mobile forms help? Digitizing your forms collection can positively impact your operation end-to-end, by eliminating the need for wasteful, problematic resources. Here’s how:

Eliminate printing and storage costs

Mobile forms have one extremely obvious benefit: going paperless. Running a paperless workplace not only eliminates the need for paper, but also costly printing resources, extensive on-site storage and accessories needed to capture data manually (e.g. binders, clipboards, pens, staples, etc.).

Integrate with systems of record

Digital forms can also be integrated with powerful systems of record, like Salesforce, Procore and ServiceMax. These integrations allow users to instantly upload their completed forms, data, metadata and Images, to relevant records. If a record does not already exist for a specific company or project, an Automated Workflow can instantly create one.

Eliminate wasted resources

Manual data capture requires resources often unassociated with paperwork, like fuel and vehicle mileage. Field teams completing paper forms must hand-deliver forms to the back-office for manual review and filing. This not only costs your business fuel, but also results in time wasted by personnel.
