The Problem With Paper: How Reducing Paperwork Curtails Waste
Reduce paper waste by leveraging digital forms as your sustainable business tool
With paper forms, businesses struggle with administrative burdens, are prone to costly errors, and experience detrimental delays. Along with the negative business impacts, paper forms add to the current environmental struggles that are prevalent today.

On the topic of reducing paper usage, thousands of GoFormz clients currently use the platform to eliminate inefficiencies and streamline business processes – all while taking strides to benefit our planet. More than often, current users seek out a digital solution to alleviate their paperwork burden, which oftentimes results in delayed work, human error, and illegible print. One current client in particular, Mangan Logging, needed a digital solution to eliminate paper usage in the field and increase productivity and visibility. By using GoFormz, Mangan Logging digitized their timesheets, mass load sheets, and service sheets, which allowed their field teams to easily enter information – even while offline! Once their forms were completed, copies of the documents were automatically routed to managers, administrators, and workshop personnel, expediting the form completion process and saving significant time.
While Mangan Logging saw an increase in work productivity, they also saw the benefit of going completely paperless. Since they no longer required vast amounts of paper supplies or a position to maintain physical record-keeping, they were able to significantly cut down their budget costs and time spent searching through paper documents.
All in all, paper documents not only add to the environmental issues we struggle through today, but also add inefficiencies in the workplace that slow down operations and add costly delays.
