How the Public Forms Feature Streamlines Work with Subcontractors

Streamline job site activities with shareable, digital forms

Digital forms provide a variety of powerful advantages for contractors, including improved job site visibility, real-time data access, offline data capture, and improved client-facing professionalism. Adding to these benefits is the GoFormz Public Forms feature, which allows users to configure and share their forms with external contributors, allowing individuals outside of your GoFormz account to fill out and complete digital forms. This workflow can significantly simplify collaboration with colleagues and clients without GoFormz accounts of their own, extending digital data capture capabilities (and its benefits) to the contributors your team relies upon. 

This is especially powerful when working with subcontractors. As a contractor, it can be difficult to manage the large number of elements involved in a build. With shareable, digital forms, contractors can significantly simplify collaboration with subcontractors. Leveraging the Public Forms feature, contractors can share links to their mobile forms with subcontractors outside of their GoFormz account. These subcontractors can then leverage the full power of the digital fields and logic included within your digital forms, resulting in more accurate, timely, and standardized data capture from your subcontractors. 

With the GoFormz Public Forms feature, your forms can be configured to meet the specific needs of contributing subcontractors. For example, digital forms shared via the Public Forms feature can be configured with only the form fields you would like your subcontractors to complete made editable – limiting subcontractor data input to your hand-selected fields. Additionally, multi-use Public Forms (learn more about single vs multi-use Public Forms here) can be equipped with expiration dates, ensuring submissions can only be made during specified date ranges. 

Leveraging the GoFormz Public Forms feature, your construction forms can be easily shared with external contributors and, upon submission, accessed by your team in real-time, resulting in: 

  • Accelerated billing cycles

  • Simplified subcontractor Image capture 

  • More accurate and standardized data capture

  • Increased job site visibility

  • Standardized safety documentation

  • More thorough equipment documentation

  • Easy, offline data capture 

  • The elimination of manual form delivery and processing demands
