What users are saying ...

"You may ask, 'what can you do with doForms'? I say, "what can't you do with doForms"! This application opens up the world for gathering data in the field, like no other app I have seen. Offering the flexibility to use your tailor-made forms on either Android or IOS devices. Of particular importance is the ease of building a form to your own needs and specification, with wysiwyg simplicity. All the programming is already written for you, and one only needs to control the individual form elements, to produce your perfect form. 10 out of 10 for the doForms Team." Lee Sayer, Business Development Manager, Japan Export Vehicle Inspection Center, Operations in Yokohama City, Nagoya City, Takaishi City, and Kobe City, Japan.

"Having only made the switch to electronic reporting recently, doForms has been instrumental in the streamlining of this entire process. Building forms is such an easy process that even a novice like myself was amazed at the possibilities offered by using this app. doForms has increased productivity and given us an edge over our competitors by allowing our field staff to concentrate on what they are on site to do, rather than on completing mounds of paperwork." Tracey Bell, Administration Manager, Inter-Chillers Pty Ltd, Sydney and Melbourne, Australia.

"The time and money this application saves us is huge. Now a technician can collect data and photos at the site, send and move on to the next machine. Our turn-around time in determining the value of tractors is less than the old way of faxing and emailing the paper forms. The folks at doForms have been very responsive and helpful. I would recommend doForms to anyone looking to collect data remotely." Max Miller, Vice President, Murphy Tractor and Equipment Co., Operations in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, USA

"doForms is an exceptional tool for public health practice and research! This easy-to-use platform simplifies and facilitates the design and creation of data collection instruments, as well as the collection, management, and analysis of data. As part of an international effort to combat the HIV epidemic, we utilize doForms and Android tablets to collect data, including responses to survey questionnaires, barcodes for biological samples, and GPS coordinates for study sites. doForms has immensely improved the quality of our work, while saving us both time and money." Stephen Delgado, Senior Epidemiologist Consultant, HIV Prevention and Control, Operations throughout Central America

"It now takes 40% less time to collect and file the information currently used in our program. Our reports are more detailed than before as well as never missing any information that is required for these reports. I would like to say a big thank you for developing this software. Keep up the great work!"  Bob Nielsen, Corporate Compliance Manager, The Mainroad Group, British Columbia, Canada

Mobile Data Collection

The benefits of using mobile data collection on smartphones and tablets include:

  • significantly lower expenses (try our CO2 Calculator)
  • time savings by not having to ship paper or to reenter data into a computer
  • richer, more complete and more accurate data
  • remote deployment to your workers; and in many cases
  • the ability to use devices that you already own

doForms provides everything you need in a turn-key, all-in-one, reliable, secure and fully hosted mobile data collection solution. doForms includes forms creation software, mobile data collection software, and customizable website for managing and mapping your mobile forms data. All of this is backed up with technical support and Project Kickstart Services designed to get your mobile business applications up and running quickly.

Form Creation Software

Use our off-the-shelf mobile data collection form library. Or create your own mobile forms using the most powerful, yet easy-to-use form creation software available. Our form builder provides simple and intuitive user interfaces for building mobile forms that include textual data, numeric data, dates, single choice answers, multiple choice answers, barcodes, signatures, sketches, pictures, video, audio notes and GPS locations.

You don't need to be a specialist to use our form creation software. You just need to have an understanding of what you want your mobile data collection software to do. With doForms, anyone with office software experience can create their own mobile data collection forms for smartphones and tablets. With doForms, there is no need for software programmers to build your mobile forms or IT support staff to deploy them.

Mobile Data Collection Software

doForms mobile data collection software works with a wide selection of popular iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. And unlike all browser-based forms, our mobile data collection software, or "mobile forms app", enables your workers to operate in both connected and disconnected environments. This is critical for workers in rural areas or urban settings with cellular dead spots.

Imagine using your mobile data collection software to instantly take a picture, then sketch on top of it to illustrate something of interest; or to scan the barcodes of materials being delivered to a job site. Imagine recording audio notes and video clips and embedding them right in your electronic mobile data collection forms; or using the GPS to precisely record a location. Think about the increased speed and accuracy of reporting.

doForms provides a flexible, fast, and easy solution to deploying mobile data collection forms to your workers - anywhere in the world. And the mobile forms on your workers' smartphone and tablet devices are automatically synchronized and remotely kept up-to-date. Control who gets which mobile data collection forms. Remotely control who can view or change the incoming data. doForms centralizes this control on a website dashboard to save time and money.

Dispatch Forms and Work Order Forms

doForms provides powerful dispatch forms and work order forms functionality. These forms contain important information to tell mobile workers where to go and what job to do when they get there. They also let the mobile workers fill out additional form details, take pictures, GPS locations, and capture signatures at the work site.

So imagine sending a dispatch to an ambulance with case information already filled out, then having the EMS technicians take pictures, fill out critical statistics, collect signatures, and send this data to the receiving hospital while still in transit.

In addition, doForms lets you track your mobile workers' current and past GPS locations. These locations are plotted on an interactive map in the Dispatch tab. And you can select which workers to view, as well as the time interval to view.

Dispatch forms and work order forms can be initiated, managed and sent directly from your doForms website. Or they can be initiated by your existing dispatch and work order system, and forwarded to your doForms equipped mobile devices. Our Data Exchange Server makes this integration simple and quick.

Mobile Forms Data Website

Your mobile business applications will include a fully integrated website for aggregating, sorting, querying, viewing and managing mobile forms data being collected by your workers. If GPS coordinates are included, your mobile forms data can be viewed on top of an interactive map. The website keeps track of which workers collected which mobile forms data. The website makes it easy to export mobile forms data to your other business applications, and to integrate your mobile forms data in real time with other IT systems by using web services.

doForms allows easy exporting of mobile forms information to other business applications such as Microsoft Excel, Open Office, Google Docs, and QuickBooks. Export options are also provided for CSV, KML, HTML and PDF file formats. Additionally, doForms also provides for direct integration of your mobile forms with CRM, database and GIS systems, such as Salesforce.com, Oracle, SAP, and ArcGIS, through the use of industry-standard SOAP web services. These web services can be set up and deployed in a matter of minutes with no software programmers involved.

Have peace of mind, knowing that doForms and your mobile data collection forms are hosted on top of Google's App Engine IT infrastructure. These servers, and the mobile forms information that reside on them, sit behind some of the most secure firewalls in the world. The level of security and monitoring provided by this infrastructure surpasses what most organizations are able to administer themselves.
