A few things that mobile forms can do

Even today, there are many organizations that are still indulged into paperwork. For them it is easy and does not require any extra training. Moreover, paper based approach has been employed and followed by all organizations since ages. But, this does not mean that relying on papers for data collection and processing is always the best choice, especially when more convenient solutions such as mobile forms are available.

Apart from allowing data transfer wirelessly, irrespective of the distance, mobile forms can do a large number of things that are really beneficial for all businesses, whether big or small. Below mentioned are a few of those:

Cut the size of long forms

When using paper forms, every question that has to be answered is listed out. For some forms, the instructions are equally as lengthy as the form itself. On the contrary, mobile forms offer you the flexibility to add conditional logic.

For an example, you need to choose between Yes and No as an answer to a question. If you select No then no further data may be required, but if your answer is Yes then set of new questions might appear that you have to answer. This prevents you from the need to unnecessarily go through the questions that might not apply to you.

Eliminate unanswered or missed questions

A common problem with paper forms is that it is difficult to make certain that your team members are collecting accurate data. The same way, there is no way to ensure that complete information is collected while your employees are on the field. It is only after you return to your workplace, going through the paper forms, that you are able to make out that one or more questions are missed or are not answered in the correct format. But, it is too late by then.

Fortunately, mobile forms eliminate all these issues. All you need to do is mark a field as “required” and this prevents you from submitting a form without it has been completed. Not only this, some mobile business forms for smart phones come with geo-tagging feature that helps you know when and where the forms have been filled by your team members.

Moreover, mobile forms can never go missing, unlike paper forms that can easily be misplaced.

Capture text and visual data in one place

If your business requires use of photographs, you might be well aware of how laborious it is to match pictures with right information.

However with mobile forms, the photo becomes its part and is incorporated with form data when it is submitted. The photograph can also be embedded in PDF, along with the data that has been captured.

For an instance, when your client's vehicle sustained damage due to an accident, you can include before and after pictures in your client invoice to let them make out what exactly you did for them. After all, it is better to show than tell.

So, now that you know what mobile forms can do for you, do not hesitate to go paperless. TeamBee, a reliable mobile data collection app offering excellent mobile reporting solutions Chandigarh can help you in your venture.
