Paperwork! It’s the one thing we all pretty much have in common as small biz owners. But paperwork can really slow you down and be full of inaccuracies. That’s why digitizing your forms can be a major time saver and productivity booster. Arming your sales teams, inspectors, technicians, auditors etc….with the ability to fill out forms in the field on a device and sending those forms back to the office is a huge time saver. In addition to saving time, it can also improve accuracy. I don’t know about you but my handwriting is horrible and by using digitized forms you can minimize data input error by setting up the fields to only allow certain types of data. This week I took a look at ProntoForms which works on a variety of devices (see below list). I tried it out on the iPhone and on the Blackberry, I liked how easy it was to use their sample forms. I love the option of customizing your own forms using their web portal which means you don’t have to download anything. Need to update or create a new form just login and make the change. One upgrade I would like to see is the ability to receive some type of confirmation (text/email) after filling out and sending a form so I know it went through!
