Onboarding Made Easy: How GoFormz Accelerates Mobile Form Adoption for Field Teams
It can be difficult to implement new tools and procedures in the workplace.
Understandably, teams often resist new opportunities in favor of the familiar, anxious that change may require time spent retraining, unnecessary work, or simply a disrupted experience. For this reason, many businesses choose GoFormz when implementing a mobile forms and data capture solution, citing ease of use and rapid onboarding as a major factor in their choice.
With GoFormz, businesses easily digitize their existing documents for use on phones, tablets, and computers, maintaining the look and feel of the original form. By maintaining the document’s formatting, users can enter data within a familiar interface, while benefiting from the many advantages of digital data capture. For example, a timesheet opened within the GoFormz mobile app on a tablet could be generated prefilled with that user’s information (e.g. full name, contact information, department, etc.) – accelerating form completion, while allowing them to work within a form they recognize.
“It was crucial to have our forms look a certain way. Because they go into government agencies, we have to maintain that look and feel. To be able to do that without a ton of programming is exactly [why we chose GoFormz].”
Customer use cases: timesheets, simplified
Oscar W. Larson, a provider of contracting solutions for a variety of industries, including the automotive, airline, marine, restaurant, convenience store, and service industries, needed a digital solution to their cumbersome timesheet documentation, without disrupting the work of their technicians, who were nervous about going mobile. This cumbersome process required timesheets to not only be manually completed but also rekeyed – to the tune of 100,000+ entries each year.
With GoFormz, Oscar W. Larson could maintain the formatting of their original timesheet, while reaping the benefits of real-time data and workflow automations. “We were able to take every paper form we had and import it into GoFormz, and use them in a more modern way,” explained Aaron Slack, CTO of Oscar W. Larson. “This improved our mobile adoption rate. We had a lot of technicians who really weren’t sure about going mobile, and because they now get to hold the form that they know in their hands, this softened the blow.”Now once a timesheet is completed, GoFormz instantly updates Oscar W. Larson’s HR system with recorded employee hours, eliminating the need for form delivery and rekeying. Aaron estimates this process saves their business $300,000 in annual labor costs.
