What are mobile forms?

Simplify field data capture and streamline processing with mobile forms and workflow automations

Your forms on mobile devices

Businesses everywhere are going paperless, and using digital forms to replace their traditional paper forms. Filling out forms on phones and tablets means that you capture data faster, more accurately and more reliably than before. Relying on paper forms isolates valuable data within filing cabinets and binders, and risks losing critical information. Digitizing your forms collection for use on mobile devices (like phones, tablets and computers) liberates your data, empowering your team to effortlessly collect field data and route information in real-time to the back-office for immediate processing, review, and application.

How mobile forms work

Mobile forms are easy to create and even easier to use. The best mobile forms are identical versions of your existing paper forms, digitized for use on phones, tablets and computers. To avoid incurring switching costs like having to train users on a new system, businesses are using mobile forms platforms that allow you to create digital forms that look exactly like existing paper versions (and toggle to a more app like format for use on smaller screens). Using digital versions of your existing forms on mobile devices (like phones and tablets) allows users to collect data within an interface they recognize, while enjoying the digital features paper forms simply cannot provide.

Data capture with mobile forms

Mobile forms can be filled out and submitted directly from your device, dramatically simplifying data capture and expediting form completion. Mobile forms can be equipped with dynamic, powerful fields and features, extending the digital efficiencies enjoyed by office personnel to teams in the field. Using mobile forms to capture field data allows users to submit, upload and route data in real-time – no hand-delivering forms required. With real-time data access, teams can more rapidly respond to business opportunities and obstacles, resulting in significant efficiency and operational improvements that directly benefit your bottomline.

Work offline – anywhere, anytime

Mobile forms empower your team to work anywhere with offline capabilities. Mobile form users can confidently fill out their forms offline, and the forms and data will sync to the Cloud once a signal becomes available – allowing your team to complete their work no matter the circumstances.

Collect digital Signatures with mobile forms

Paper forms require users to run between locations to authorize documents and collect approvals. Mobile forms can be digitally routed and signed, streamlining critical project approvals and providing a polished, professional means of collecting signatures. Digital Signature boxes can even be made Required, ensuring that forms are properly authorized prior to submission.

New, powerful data types

Capturing data with mobile forms allows for the collection of new digital data types, like Images, GPS, Maps, Sketches and Barcode data. Leveraging your device’s native camera and location capabilities, mobile form users can easily add context to their data. For example, using mobile forms to complete inspections allows for the seamless inclusion of jobsite images, as well as precise jobsite location.

With Barcode Scanning, rapidly scan and auto-fill product information, expediting form completion and eliminating opportunities for human error. Similarly, forms can be equipped with DropDown menus, which automatically populate related fields when selected. For example, when completing a mobile timesheet, a DropDown menu could be used to select an employee’s name. Once their name has been selected, the mobile form would then instantaneously fill in the employee’s contact information, department and more.

How mobile forms create big savings:

CASE STUDY

Refine mobile forms bidding to increase sales

Oscar W. Larson, a contracting solutions company, performs energy audits at customer sites, including the calculation of alternative energy cost savings. With paper forms, reps would need to return to the office to complete calculations, generate a sales contract, and print a proposal for signing – resulting in long delays. Using mobile forms, calculations can now be instantly and accurately completed, and audits can now end with a digitally signed contract, rather than a trip back to the office to collect approvals.
