Using a secure log-in and a standard web browser you can build forms on screen in a matter of minutes - with complete control over pages, instructions, field types, formats & data validation - and then simply 'publish' them to your remote workers mobile devices.

Complete centralised control is provided over user accounts, mobile client distribution, form version control and system administration.

 

 

Using the pro-Forms™ custom data format tools information collected on forms can be intelligently formatted and automatically routed to one or more back office systems as required so cutting out delays, inefficiencies and inaccuracies.

For situations where data security and confidentiality of content is critical using the secure and robust architecture provided by BlackBerry® Enterprise Server and smartphones, pro-Forms™ enables the capture of rich content from workers in the field including accurate part-populated text, images, voice and GPS location all from one easy to use and deploy application.

 

CESG has approved the BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution for use with data up to and including ‘Restricted’ level data (IL3).

Containing custom data format tools to define your own data export formats - from the simple CSV files to more complex structured XML, pro-Forms™ has the answers. Once a form is designed, with questions added and answer types defined by using the custom data format tools information collected on forms can be intelligently formatted and automatically routed to one or more backoffice systems as required so cutting out delays, inefficiencies and inaccuracies.

We also provide a range of standard and custom APIs to exchange data with our customers systems so that bi-directional data can flow to and from a form.

A South Midlands based Borough Council identified the need to be more efficient in surveying and recording tree information across the Borough but unfortunately without the opportunity to invest in costly new hardware or software.

Being acutely aware of the onerous legal responsibilities and duty of care provisions arising from legislation such as Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Occupiers' Liability Act 1999 and the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000(CRoW) the Authority had already developed in-house an SQL database for storing  its' tree asset information but to become more efficient needed to collect this information via mobile devices which could exchange data directly with the backend SQL database.
