Notifications
Alert your workforce to job changes
Your workers will receive notifications to their mobile device if any changes are made to their allocated jobs via the back-office system.
Alerts will keep your workforce informed in real-time, which improves communication and prevents mistakes
Electronic Signatures
Maintain business compliance with electronic signatures
Official sign-off signifies the job is complete and all parties are satisfied with the standard of the work.
It can also be utilised to sign-off compliance checks, such as vehicle maintenance checklists and risk assessments.
Formulate enables signature capture on a mobile device using a finger or stylus. Plus, GPS locations and automatic timestamps will pinpoint where and when the signature was provided.
Maps & GPS Locations
Pinpoint your employees’ exact location
Formulate's back-office application will display where the user completed the form, thanks to automatic GPS locations recording.
Maps can also be utilised within the form to provide the user with job location information. Simply drop a map into the mobile form and enter a postcode for the site location.
Barcode Scanning
Collect data quickly and accurately
This feature is useful for a range of field service operations, such as inventory and inspections of materials or equipment.
Barcodes are scannable using a camera on a mobile device. When a user scans a barcode, the relevant form fields will automatically populate with the barcode data e.g. serial numbers or storage locations.
It saves time and reduces human error because the user isn’t required to manually input each piece of information.
Image Capture
Evidence job information with photographs
Photographs are a powerful form of communication and an effective way of evidencing job information.
Mobile workers can capture a photo using their smart device and attach it to a mobile form.
Office-based staff can view the photographs to assess the quality of a job or identify damage to products or equipment.
Attach Documents to Mobile Forms
Provide your field service workers with instant access to important documents
Easily attach electronic versions of job instructions, user manuals or health and safety guidelines to your mobile forms.
Mobile workers usually need a collection of documents to complete the job in hand; paperwork is often lost or damaged, but digital documents are safe, secure and quickly accessible from a mobile device.
From PDFs to Word documents, there is a range of mobile-friendly files that can be attached to Formulate mobile forms.
Answer fields that boost compliance
Mandatory Fields
Missing data will never be a problem
Mobile workers can find it difficult to manage paperwork while they’re on the move. Lack of time can result in employees returning incomplete forms to head office.
Applying this feature to your mobile forms will ensure your workforce collects all necessary details. The form can only be submitted once all mandatory fields are complete.
Validations
Improve data accuracy with field validation
Answers must meet a certain set of requirements to meet the specifications of the answer field e.g.
- The numerical value entered must be less than 50
- The date entered must not be before today
The digital form cannot be completed until the fields are populated correctly, which guarantees no errors.
Multiple Selection
Standardise your data collection
Provide the user with a list of pre-populated answers. Receiving data in a consistent format allows for easy data analysis.
