Mobile data collection is a revolutionary way to speed up and improve business processes in the field. But it isn’t just about recording text into a mobile form app, it’s about telling the whole story.
The ProntoForms solution for smartphones and tablets enables users to include multiple photos and sketches into many image questions within a single mobile form submission. Simply put, field users should be able to do their job without constraints – and ProntoForms offers the flexibility to use the complete power of today’s smart devices.
This also allows businesses to have a more complete, streamlined understanding of what’s happening out on the job site.
Field users are able to:
1. Take multiple photos on the spot or import/attach multiple images from their device
2. Sketch on images as required (or paint/sketch on a blank canvas)
3. Integrate all of this visual information into the mobile form
In addition, ProntoForms also offers photo stamping capabilities, enabling field users to add GPS, Time, Form information and other critical information on an image, a simple yet potentially important way to document field work.
Example use cases
- Work Orders and Inspections – Add photos of an issue related to equipment and/or work to be performed
- Planned Preventative Maintenance – Include photos of a maintenance visit, highlighting proof of completed work or recommended work to be performed
- Checklists – Add photos and sketches to a list of required tasks
- Incident reports – Document accident details with relevant photos and sketches
Once uploaded to the mobile form, photos are neatly displayed as thumbnails within the ProntoForms app, yet display well within a PDF output.
Finally, ProntoForms facilitates the instant back office integration (or connectivity with a variety of cloud service options) of all form information, including photos and sketches, delivering industry-leading field visibility for office managers.
With multiple photos and sketches per form question, the ProntoForms solution maximizes a field user’s time and reporting abilities in an impactful, market-leading manner.
