According to Garett Wall, CFO of Centra Windows, “We are looking forward to Flowfinity’s new capabilities for creating visual records. Our sales team will improve sales effectiveness by helping prospective customers visualize their homes with the improvements that we offer, and our service teams will be able to take the ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures.”
Flowfinity Forms has a large customer base and has been an award-winning product over the five years it’s been on the market. It remains unique in the mobile data collection category due to its point-and-click visual form editor, over-the-air form deployment, end-to-end security, always available forms, submission notification for managers and centralized data collection. The new version is able to add pictures to record keeping, which translate to better inspection records, improved quality of incident reporting, more complete asset tracking records and comprehensive documentation of work progress and completion.
Flowfinity Forms is an easy-to-use data collection application which does not require any programming. Forms are easily created and deployed to mobile workers on their BlackBerry. These forms make data collection quick and simple for mobile users. Data from many mobile workers is collated centrally for immediate use by the organization. Flowfinity Forms also allow organizations to eliminate paper forms with secure, wait-free, wireless forms.
This helps streamline business operations since data is: submitted immediately after being recorded; relayed back to the home office; received as usable, accurate information; and aggregated without the usual costs of paper forms and data re-entry.
