Managing inventory is a recurring source of stress for every business, but nonetheless essential. Inventory management dictates the product ordering and distribution processes, and directly impacts budgeting — meaning the accurate documentation of each asset is crucial.

This means form users only need to select the name of the unit they are processing (e.g. “flour”, “AA batteries”, etc.), and the GoFormz mobile form will automatically fill the price per unit. 

To further simplify the data entry process, and better ensure total accuracy, form admins can also enable forms to automatically calculate the total cost or value of the number of specified units entered by a user.
