Ready to get started with digital data capture?
Every day, thousands of GoFormz users rely on our mobile forms and data capture platform to complete and manage forms from their mobile devices, including phones, tablets, and computers. Whether you're looking to create forms for your iPad or Android device, or simply want to digitize documents for easy completion and cloud-based storage, GoFormz makes it simple to get started—no technical experience required.
What Are Mobile Forms?
Mobile forms are digital versions of the paper forms your business already uses—think job site checklists, safety audits, timesheets, service reports, and more. However, unlike their paper counterparts, mobile forms can incorporate innovative features such as required fields, Image capture, GPS, Barcode Scanning, Audio Recordings, and Automatic Calculations. They’re accessible from any device and can be customized to fit your exact needs, making them a powerful tool for both field and office teams.
Why Use Mobile Forms?
Switching from paper to electronic forms offers immediate and long-term benefits, including:
Faster data collection: Complete forms quickly and on the go, without needing to return to the office.
Improved accuracy: Required fields, pre-filled data, and Logic rules reduce human errors.
Real-time access: Instantly submit completed forms to supervisors, customers, or connected systems.
Greater flexibility: Add photos, signatures, and attachments directly from your device.
Streamlined storage: Digital forms are automatically saved and organized—no filing cabinets necessary.
