5 Ways Digital Forms Will Improve Your Remote Team's Collaboration

Keep your remote team efficient, connected, and productive with digital forms and data capture

As remote and hybrid teams become more common in the modern workplace, digital forms have emerged as a powerful tool for streamlining communication and collaboration. Digital forms allow your operation to easily digitize its existing work forms for use on phones, tablets, and computers, or create completely new versions. Links to your forms can even be shared with others outside of your organization for them to fill out and complete, simplifying the collection of information from clients, subcontractors, and other third parties.

  1. Fill out and complete forms from any location
    No matter where your teammates are located, forms can be accessed, filled out, and completed – even while offline in remote locations. The ability to fill out and submit forms from anywhere significantly accelerates form collection and processing, as teams working from distant job sites or home office locations no longer need to wait to return to the office to turn-in forms. Because digital forms can be submitted from anywhere, your team can also easily improve transparency and communication across user locations. 

  2. Review and process completed forms in real-time
    Once submitted, digital forms can be instantly reviewed and processed. These real-time capabilities eliminate form delivery delays, manual rekeying, and other common administrative tasks that often result from traditional paperwork. Your digital forms can even be instantly uploaded to the Cloud, uploaded to corresponding records within integrated applications, and used to update information within corresponding records. 

  3. Transfer form drafts and route completed forms automatically
    Using an Automated Workflow, digital form drafts can be automatically transferred to teammates and PDF copies of completed forms can be instantly routed to colleagues, customers, and more. These automations allow your team to streamline the distribution of completed documents and form drafts, without needing to hand-off forms in person. 

  4. Trigger the dispatch of pre-populated forms
    Certain actions taken within GoFormz and connected systems can even Trigger the dispatch of forms pre-populated with information to users anywhere, allowing your team to seamlessly and instantaneously jumpstart collaborative workflows. For example, an action taken within an integrated application could Trigger the dispatch of an inspection form pre-populated with job site data, your business’ data, and more. 

  5. Utilize form logic to enforce data capture rules
    Finally, your digital forms can be easily equipped with logic to enforce dynamic data capture rules. For example, form logic can be leveraged to make electronic signature fields dynamically Required for members of specific Groups, a Checkbox selection could make additional fields Visibile and Required, and more. These dynamic features guide data capture and ensure forms are completed accurately and comprehensively before they can be submitted.
