How Teams Use Digital Forms to Modernize and Save Big

Digitizing your work forms can lead to incredible savings and improved professionalism

In these difficult times, finding ways to remain effective and efficient while maintaining employee safety is paramount. This can be challenging when balancing the necessity of social distancing with the realities of customer care, service demands, and project timelines. Modernizing your operations with digital tools and platforms allows your business to maintain productivity and simplify collaboration while prioritizing the health and wellbeing of your team. 

Mobile forms are a powerful resource for teams looking to modernize their operations and improve productivity. Digital forms have proven to not only be a useful tool for companies looking to improve their operational efficiency but also help to reduce employee time spent on the job site or completing in-person services – saving time and money for your business while mitigating the risk of COVID-19 exposure for your team

Mobile forms can be completed by team members at job sites and service locations and instantly submitted, for real-time review and processing. Rather than relying on employees or snail-mail to deliver critical documents, completed forms and input data are instantly available for review, no matter your location. Completed forms can even be instantly delivered to the appropriate employee, customer, or supervisor, or uploaded to corresponding project folders within a connected application.

Using mobile forms to capture data not only improves efficiency but also increases operational visibility. With new data types, mobile forms can be used to capture Images, Sketches, GPS and Maps, and more, providing visual context. With more, higher quality, incoming data, business insights garnered via the GoFormz Reporting Tool or within connected dashboards provide better insight into productivity and business opportunities – resulting in data-driven decision making and a better understanding of your business.

Here are a few examples of mobile forms have helped GoFormz users work more efficiently in the field, saving significant time and money: 

NTL Pipelines
NTL Pipelines uses GoFormz to digitize their forms, routing, and record-keeping. Before GoFormz, NTL pipelines teams would use paper forms to capture pipeline data, often combatting inclement weather conditions. With GoFormz, forms can be easily completed from mobile devices in the field, even offline from remote locations. Leveraging Automated Workflows and the Box integration, NTL’s completed forms are now instantly routed to supervisors for review and authorization, and centrally stored within Box folders. With expedited data processing and simplified data collection for mobile teams and drivers, NTL Pipelines saves roughly an hour a day, resulting in an approximate daily savings of $20,000.

Petrol Services Australia
Petrol Services Australia (PSA) needed a digital solution to resolve the many manual inefficiencies obstructing productivity throughout its operation. Completing their forms on phones and tablets allowed PSA to expedite their data entry and instantly route completed documents to key-players and connected applications. These efficiency improvements allowed PSA to scale its operation without the need for additional administrative support. These time and budget improvements have led to a savings of $350,000 a year
