How Digital Forms Can Help Your Business Manage Remote Work Teams

Ensure your remote teams are maintaining productivity, efficiency, and collaboration with digital forms

As COVID-19 remains prevalent, many businesses have adopted remote or hybrid business models, resulting in the rapid adoption of digital solutions across every sector. Digital forms offer all industries the opportunity to streamline data collection, communication, and collaboration. By digitizing your paper forms, your operation can take its original documents and create digital versions for use on mobile devices and desktops, or completely new versions. Links to online forms can even be shared with users outside your GoFormz account for them to fill out and submit, simplifying the collection of information from clients, patients, prospective customers, and other third parties.

Customer Use Case Example:

Freedom Industries relied heavily on carbon copy forms for their work orders, which led to issues such as illegible handwriting, missing or damaged documentation, and manual record-keeping. By using GoFormz, Freedom Industries is able to enter all their work order details on their tablets, eliminating the need to share, scan, and file paperwork, while also adding the ability to track images and other important details on their forms.
