Run A Leaner Construction Operation With Digital Forms
Reduce your construction operation’s reliance on physical documentation and streamline your daily workflows with digital data capture
Burdened by obsolete, manual tools that hinder productivity, construction field teams often find themselves excluded from the digital advancements enjoyed by other industries. These manual processes not only generate costly delays and mistakes but also create tension between field and office teams, who must collaborate on a day-to-day basis – a challenge when relying on outdated tools.
Fortunately, digital forms offer new opportunities to streamline construction documentation and collaboration, that traditional paper documents simply cannot. With GoFormz, your digital forms can look exactly like your existing paper forms, and can be easily configured in our powerful drag-and-drop form builder – making it easy to add fields like Signatures, Images and Sketches, Tables, and Maps. Additionally, forms can be equipped with logic, like Automatic Calculations and Required fields, to ensure forms are accurately being completed.
Leveraging digital versions of your existing forms on phones and tablets allows construction teams to rapidly complete forms in the field, such as daily construction reports or lien waivers, even while offline. This means paperwork can be completed and shared with back-office personnel faster, streamlining communication amongst collaborating teams and remote workers. By leveraging Automated Workflows, construction teams can even instantly route completed forms to relevant team members or connected business applications, drastically improving job site visibility and simplifying communication.
All in all, after you consider the time, resources, and personnel paper documentation demands, eliminating physical and manual documents frees up significant time and budget to optimize business operations from end to end.
“There are time savings not only on the frontend, when we’re importing data, but also on the backend when we don’t have to correct mistakes that we otherwise might have made through manual entry.”
Eliminate paper forms entirely
With GoFormz, your digital forms can look exactly like your existing paper forms or PDFs, making it easy to maintain formatting and branding and replace existing documentation – all while removing the burdens of paper, without stretching your budget! By removing paper documents and printing needs, businesses free up budget and time to optimize operations and improve workflows.
For example, imagine the amount of storage required to hold paper documents and envision the amount of time wasted hunting through files to locate a single source of information. By eliminating paper and collecting data digitally, your workplace no longer has to struggle with the overwhelming burden of record-keeping, resulting in a more productive and effective work environment.
Collect real-time field data
Rather than manually rekeying paper form data into individual business platforms, integrate your digital forms with other applications and systems to increase the visibility of real-time data. By leveraging our powerful API integrations, data can be synced in real-time, enriching your operations with digital data insight end-to-end. This means field data can be automatically shared with Procore, Egnyte, Acumatica, Autodesk, and more. Not only do integrations expedite data sharing amongst teams, but also eliminate administrative burdens, increases productivity, and reduces opportunities for human error.
Save time with automated reporting
With the ability to capture data digitally from the field and instantly routed to back-office teams for real-time analysis, leveraging custom Reports allows construction teams to garner actionable insights from form data. Teams can schedule reports to be regularly delivered to inboxes, integrated platforms, and more, resulting in a more streamlined operation and reduces miscommunication. Additionally, the reporting tool is dynamic, meaning as your data collection grows over time, so will your reports – adjusting accordingly to include new information.
By leveraging digital forms, construction teams can remove the burden that comes with paper documents and improve data capture and analysis, team productivity, and much more.
