Mobile Forms: The Field Tech’s New Best Friend
GoFormz makes it easy to complete and share inspections from any job site
Field technicians are the backbone of various industries, including construction, utilities, maintenance, and inspections. But while their job sites have evolved, their paperwork often hasn’t. Paper forms are still surprisingly common — but they’re prone to damage, hard to read, and even harder to track. That’s where mobile forms come in.
With a powerful mobile form builder like GoFormz, field techs can digitize their everyday forms — think safety checklists, work orders, job site audits, and beyond — and complete them from any mobile device. It’s a game-changer for productivity, communication, and compliance.
Why Field Tech’s Love Mobile Forms
Mobile forms are exactly what they sound like: digital versions of paper forms that can be completed on smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. Designed to work seamlessly both offline and in rugged environments, mobile forms enable field technicians to capture data wherever the job takes them, eliminating the need to return to the office.
Here are just a few reasons why field teams are turning to mobile forms:
Faster Data Capture: Using a mobile form builder, teams can add powerful fields such as drop-downs, date/time stamps, eSignatures, barcode scans, and audio recording capture, thereby reducing manual input and speeding up completion times.
No Paper: Forget about forms getting torn, rained on, or lost in the shuffle. Mobile forms are always accessible, easily duplicated, and automatically saved and backed up. Learn how this company eliminated its damaged paper trail with digital forms >

Field Technician Use Cases
When your team is equipped with mobile forms, they’re not just working faster — they’re working smarter. They spend less time on paperwork and more time delivering results. Learn how some companies are leveraging mobile forms to streamline their field operations:
ServiceMaster: ServiceMaster relied on handwritten notes and after-the-fact photos to document services, making it difficult to bill for completed work accurately. Utilizing the Google Workspace integration and GoFormz automations, ServiceMaster teams can now automatically route data to specific Google Sheets and job folders, instantly populate form fields with highly accurate information pulled from databases, and capture data offline in remote locations.

SGI Heating and Cooling: SGI Heating and Cooling utilized a paper form that acted as their single source of information. SGI sought to enhance its forms and data collection process, which required various team members to manually complete forms and access specific information within a single document. Additionally, when clients returned, sales representatives were required to locate existing client information stored in various locations, resulting in lost productivity, redundancy, and an overall inefficient workplace. By digitizing their documents and leveraging conditional formatting features, SGI streamlined their team’s everyday documentation processes, resulting in higher quality work for their clients and significant efficiency improvements in the workplace.
