Whether you’ve just started to look into a mobile solution for your field service team, or your workflow is 80% paperless already, you want to make sure your chosen smart mobile forms solution provider can get the job done.
- Is the mobile app easy to use?
- Will it work on our particular mix of mobile devices?
- Will it integrate with the back-office systems/cloud services we’re already using?
- Can I configure the solution on my own or do I need help from IT or R&D?
- Is the solution reliable and powerful enough even for complex projects?
- Has the company helped organizations like ours in the past?
There are hundreds of mobile form apps available online, so where do you start?
One of the best ways to tell if a company will stand the test of time is to see which businesses have chosen to partner with them. If established businesses choose to put their name next to your solution of choice, you can be reasonably sure you’ve made a solid decision.
Stamp of approval from Apple and Google
Not only has the ProntoForms app met and exceeded both Google’s and Apple’s mobile app design requirements, but the tech giants have both featured ProntoForms as a leading mobile data collection app. Google listed ProntoForms as a Featured for Work App, and Apple recognized ProntoForms in the early days of their Mobility Partner Program (MPP).
Integration with Field Service Management solutions
As a certified partner in the ServiceMax Technology Alliance Program, and as a partner with FieldAware and others, ProntoForms offers flexible and powerful integration options for commonly used FSM systems including ServiceMax and ServiceMax Asset 360 for Salesforce Field Service. This is important when the mobile solution you’re evaluating won’t be used standalone, but as a complimentary mobile front end to the tools you’re already using. Legacy systems are great at some things, but their mobile apps are often a nightmare to use.
Connecting with the Cloud
Whether your company uses SharePoint, Salesforce, A3, Box, or another cloud service to store business data, make sure your solution provider offers easy integration tools that don’t require help from the IT or R&D teams. ProntoForms offers point-and-click integrations with +25 cloud solutions so chances are we can push your data wherever you need it, however you need it, with just a click. A single form submission can even store the same information as a Word file in Box, as a PDF attachment in Salesforce, and as raw data in a Business Intelligence tool.
Enterprise-ready
If you’re looking to deploy a mobile solution in a large organization, your chosen provider should be able to prove that they have built and successfully deployed enterprise-grade mobile solutions in the past. ProntoForms has extensive experience working with industry leaders like Halliburton, PG&E, Sodexo, AAA, and many more.
Summary
There are a lot of mobile solutions on the market, and more are appearing every day. If you’re a small business looking to switch to a digital workflow for 10 or 20 technicians in the field, you’re spoiled for choice. Chances are, most mobile solution providers will be able to help you implement something that will be a tremendous improvement compared to what you’re using now.
However, if your organization has hundreds or even thousands of users in the field, and you’re looking for a flexible and powerful solution that offers sophisticated dynamic forms, deep integration capabilities, complex workflows, and advanced business intelligence tools, there’s really only one game in town – ProntoForms.
