Features

Formotus offers a combination of software + services to deploy and manage business productivity forms on mobile phones. This is not a suite of apps but rather a platform for creating powerful custom apps quickly. Each app appears on the mobile phone as a separate mobile business form in the client software.  Every form is unique and connects directly to your own company's SharePoint site or Web service.
