Over the last few years, there has been a growing trend in the enterprise to embrace digital transformation. Paperwork still drives a large part of business operations and paper-based forms are widely prevalent. So a good first step towards digital transformation can be the digitization of this paperwork. Replacing paper forms with digital forms (mobile forms) is becoming more popular but still, a large number of companies in manufacturing, oil & gas, chemicals, healthcare, and utilities rely on paperwork to handle daily operations.

There is a myriad of paper forms used every day for inspection rounds, work orders, surveys, visit reports, and compliance regulations for both Asset Management and Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) checks. Relying on paper-based forms to collect data prevents companies from making informed decisions due to outdated data which in turn leads to asset downtime and safety/compliance risks.

There are a number of disadvantages to paper-based forms management. Paper-based forms require manual data entry, maintenance, storage space, time, and money. Manual data entry is prone to errors that affect the quality of the data. Paper-based forms are difficult to administer and it is very difficult to perform analytics, observe trends, and make informed decisions.

Replace Paper Forms with Digital (Mobile) Forms:

Nowadays, most Field workers have a smartphone or tablet. Mobile apps have become an essential part of our daily life, and Asset intensive industries can leverage a mobile app for Digital Forms that can make processes more streamlined and improve worker productivity and asset uptime/safety. Digital Forms can be integrated with enterprise backend systems like SAP, SharePoint, and databases for real-time integration. Users can access these forms on the mobile app and in just a few clicks, they can complete and submit their digital forms for review, approval or storage.
