Could a construction mobile form transform your business?

Every industry can benefit from mobile forms in the field. Going paperless certainly makes things faster and easier when it comes to collecting, communicating, filing and reporting on data. This post takes a look at five ways that mobile construction reporting forms  are revolutionizing this particular industry.

Five ways a construction form for mobile makes a difference. Why use a construction mobile form?

Instant communication – In the old days, paper forms would have to be driven back to the office, wasting time and fuel. With mobile forms from ProntoForms, construction form data can be gathered and sent back to the office instantly – with the push of a button using mobile construction reporting forms.

Quick, accurate form results – Filling out paper forms can be a lengthy, tedious process. The real possibility of committing irreversible errors (handwriting or clerical) always exists with paper forms. They simply don’t offer the precise and powerful options that mobile forms do. For example, mobile forms from ProntoForms use skip logic, a feature that doesn’t require all form fields to be fully filled in. More importantly, since all mobile form text is digital, all data entered is completely legible and accurate the first time – without having to cross out mistakes in pen.

Photo captures – Using the photo capture feature, construction inspectors, foremen and other workers can take pictures of worksite situations and immediately integrate them into a mobile form. This ensures that form reports include important visual information. For example, if a safety hazard is discovered, a field worker can fill out a mobile form, attach a key image and send it to the appropriate problem-solvers and decision-makers.

Signatures captures – Instead of recording authorized signatures on paper forms and having to safeguard against ink smudges or lost or damaged forms, mobile forms offer a superior signature capture alternative. When signature authorization is the final step to a process green light, capturing it via ProntoForms allows for a more real-time transfer of this all-important signoff.

Look-up tables – With ProntoForms, field workers can access vital construction information in a heartbeat, no matter their location. Whether it’s a part number or inventory material check, look-up tables give on-location workers the ability to get instant answers to job questions that may arise.
