Use Mobile Forms to Improve Efficiency

Posted on December 14, 2016 by Steven Rovito

You want your business to run as smooth as possible.

With things like emails, push notifications and Skype, it’s easy to see how technology can help a business run more fluidly. Communication is key.

To speed up communication, businesses developed forms. Someone goes out and finds the data to fill into their paper form, sends it to someone else to enter it into a computer, the data gets analyzed by specialist. Inspection companies rely on their workers to go out and record data, submitting it at the end of the day to the boss. Pharmacies capture patient data when prescribing medication to make things easier for repeat customers. Forms can be found in almost any business.

Going from paper to mobile.

Forms that can be used on your smartphone (or mobile forms) were reserved for the top businesses that could afford them. Over the past few years, though, online form editors have become popular. Now, converting that paper form into a button on your smartphone is easy and cost-effective.

Picture your workers accessing their forms like this: They pull their company app up on their phone. They can search for the exact form needed for the job, fill it out directly from their phone and send it to any email. No paper or pens, no exchanging of papers. Supervisors won’t have to go shuffling through a mess of paper, and employees don’t have to carry anything other than their cellphone.

What else can mobile forms do?

Forms don’t all have to be about questions and numbers. With robust online editors, like Snappii, you can take your form from useful, to essential. Features you can add to your forms include:

File-upload
Record Video and Audio
Barcode Scanners
Geo-tracking, which allows you to track where your employees submitted the form.

Snappii is so easy to use, it’s fun. Creating mobile forms is as easy as snapping tiles together and changing a few parameters, like the whether you want last name first or first name last. Snappii even has a catalog of popular forms for nearly any industry. Within minutes, Snappii can have your custom form on your smartphone and fully functional (click here for a free 14-day trial).

Getting Rid of the Paper

Posted on December 6, 2016 by Steven Rovito

Paper has been a thorn in the business world’s foot for as long as anyone can remember.

Some businesses have begun to wise up to their paper trail, and have developed mobile forms that provide easier data entry, quicker results and even in-depth analytics. A manager can now run their operation right from the palm of their hand without fumbling around for a pencil. They save on the cost of paper, and the time it takes to file it.

If money doesn’t grow on trees, where’s the paper?

Paper is an easy way to cut cost that companies often overlook. Even on a small scale, paper can put a dent in the companies wallet, and that dent only gets bigger the more the company expands. What’s worst is the amount of time it takes to find something after it’s been filed.

Let’s put it into perspective:

– The average U.S worker uses about 10,000 sheets of paper a year. That’s about 20 reams or about $160 per employee.

– Using paper to send information can cost up to 31 times what it originally costs due to things like printing, copying, postage, storage, etc…

– Cabinets are inefficient and hard to index

In other words, paper is probably hurting a lot more than helping.

Eliminating the paper

Most papers around the business, whether it’s an auto-repair shop or a hospital, are forms. Businesses revolve around recording data and inputting it into a database. Mobile forms work by eliminating the middleman – data entered through your smartphone goes directly to where and who you want.

Is it expensive? Traditionally, smartphone apps take a lot of money to produce. Hiring a coder and programmer can quickly become costly, and can even turn into something you weren’t expecting (in a bad way).

To combat this, more companies are turning to rapid-development mobile solutions like Snappii to create forms. Snappii simplified the process to just a few steps:

Re-create your form on our drag-and-drop form editor
Set where you would like finished mobile forms to go
Download Snappii’s preview app and login with your credentials
Fill the form as you would normally and click send!

You can also upload your form and Snappii’s app builders will convert your first form into an app at no cost. Try it out!

Building your own form can be a bit daunting. That’s why Snappii has worked with countless industries to provide a form template for nearly every occasion. Check out our extensive catalog today, and see how easy it is to transform your business (in a good way).

Industrial Mobility is a Great Bridgehead for Oil and Gas Enterprises

Posted on October 28, 2016 by Daria Ivantsova

When businesses have industrial-sized data, they need an industrial level tool. It’s well known that a mobile app can help businesses engage and connect with their clients, but it can also be used to improve productivity and the overall efficiency of the company. According to the research and analytics firm Gartner, “the worldwide enterprise-application market grew to roughly $149.9 billion in 2015, on its way to an estimated $201 billion by 2019”. Robust, industrial apps are rapidly becoming the focal point of modern businesses.

Great opportunities for oil and gas industry

The oil and gas industry have been showing great interest in industrial mobility as well. According to a recent survey of oil and gas industry executives, mobile apps rank number 2 on the list of top priorities for CIO’s. The profit in the oil and gas industry relies heavily on the speed and quality of their operations. Mobile apps allow specialists to avoid delays, control each process and always be fully informed to make educated decisions.

A great app should be as intuitive as it is useful. Having employees go through a substantial amount of training to use a new technology is counter-productive, and often leads to more headaches than profits. It should complement a specialists will to improve existing infrastructure and processes, not impede it.

Snappii is a leading provider of business apps. All of their apps can be customized to meet any need, whether it’s for an enterprise or a particular department of it. Here are some of the pre-made, customizable apps that they offer in their app catalog:

The Most Low-Cost Way to Create Enterprise Apps

Posted on October 25, 2016 by Daria Ivantsova

It is imperative that businesses, whether they’re Mom-and-Pop shops or huge corporations, keep up with the latest technology. Apps have been around for a while, but creating one was never a viable, or affordable, option for the general public. Mobile solutions have become critical for improving employee communication, management efficiency and even the customer experience. Last summer, Red Hat, Inc and Samsung Electronics America announced a strategic alliance to “deliver the next generation of mobile solutions for the enterprise”. With so many organizations shifting into the realm of mobile, there may be some problems. For the little guys, it will almost always be price.

The main issue is the price

While creating a single app may bring short-term profits, changes and improvements to the app will likely chip away at your earnings. A long-term strategy for success is not limited to a single app. It is not uncommon for each department within an enterprise to have a mobile solution customized exactly to the demands of the operation. With each app, you may have to call upon different software engineers to create the perfect solution. The more specialist that are involved, the more expensive it gets.

“The Global State of Enterprise Mobility: 2016” by Enterprise Mobility Exchange, found that the common enterprise mobility budget is around $250,000 to $500,000, and this price only climbs higher with every revision. Even for a large enterprise, the real obstacle always comes down to money.

Enterprise apps are more available than you think

Snappii, a market leader in business mobile apps solutions, puts accessibility first. Snappii uses a codeless app builder that allows anyone, even small businesses, create powerful, enterprise-grade apps.

Why Daily Log and Reporting Apps are So Useful for Construction Projects

Posted on October 21, 2016 by Daria Ivantsova

Staying on top of industry standards while remaining efficient is crucial to the success of construction projects. Paper forms and reports allow project managers to regulate the field, meet deadlines and avoid any major hitches. Effective project management requires not just dates and working hours, but a detailed report about who is doing what, and where the materials are being used. The best solution is to provide workers with read-made forms for quick filling. The problem lies in the amount of time it takes to complete these long reports.

The frequency of these reports also presents a problem. Workers may forget to fill logs or their reports can be inaccurate due to human error. Smartphones with reminders can help remedy the problem, but smartphones can do more than just remind you in this case. We can use them as daily logs and relieve employees from the burden of paperwork.

Many tasks – one solution

Daily logs and reporting mobile apps can provide workers with mobile forms which can be instantly filled and edited with just a few clicks. They can be configured to contain an autofill field of date and location, so supervisors can always know where their employees are. Mobile solutions can also tackle other tasks like capturing photos, calculators, sharing options, push motivations – the possibilities are endless.

Snappii, a leading mobile business app development company, offers a ready-made Construction Daily Log app that can be found on either app store. The app allows users to easily create daily logs, make estimations and time-sheets, generate custom Excel and PDF reports, and share them amongst management or other employees. The biggest benefit to this app is the customization. Snappii offers a codeless app builder that enables users to access a website and tailor the app directly to their needs. Snappii also has an app shop where they can take requirements and make a custom app in a fraction of the time and money it would take an app developer. Snappii offers a complete solution and a unique experience for its users, and it continues to grow everyday.
