Overview

Formotus mobile business forms are not a suite of ready-made phone apps but a mobile business application platform for rapid app development using Microsoft Office InfoPath. Our rich mobile client software installs on each supported device type, enabling them all to use the same XML-based business forms to connect directly from the phone to customer data in backend systems. Formotus mobile apps connect directly to SharePoint without using a browser, which allows offline productivity while extending office workflow and dispatch scenarios into the field.

Submit forms to SharePoint over the air

Formotus forms running on mobile devices provide an agile and cost-effective way to automate workforces in any industry. Data collection from the field can be simplified and expedited. Formotus forms are a great way for inspectors, interviewers, and all sorts of field service workers to collect data on-the-go and transmit it back to headquarters over the air. 

Formotus forms can be used to capture signatures, drawings, photos, GPS positions, bar codes, time stamps and more. All this information is inserted in forms that can be submitted to SharePoint for use back in the office.

Robust offline capabilities mean that productivity does not depend on constant connectivity, unlike browser-based forms.

  

More than just data collection

Data collection and forms submission are just the beginning, because Formotus forms are dynamic connected applications that can retrieve data over the air as well as sending it. This means you can put up-to-the-minute company data right at the fingertips of your mobile workers. Service workers can pick up their routes, salespeople can see their leads, and health care workers can access patients’ prescriptions, for example.

Formotus mobile forms are compatible with Microsoft Office InfoPath forms, so mobile workers and office workers can collaborate closely in dispatch and workflow scenarios.

Mobilize in days or weeks, not months or years

Long lead times and expensive startup costs have made custom mobile deployments inaccessible for many organizations. But not anymore. Formotus offers a pay-as-you-go subscription model that minimizes the startup cost, and the development cycle is extremely short because the Formotus solution works across platforms and requires no coding, no disks, and no cables:

The Formotus client software is installed on your devices over-the-air from the Formotus Web site, so there is no need to distribute software on disks or connect cables to phones.

The form development environment is drag-and-drop using Microsoft Office InfoPath, which might already be installed on your PC.

No need to develop separate forms for Android and Windows Mobile -- the same InfoPath form can work on both.

The forms you create can be deployed instantly to your mobile devices over-the-air. The form you design today can be on your devices today, and you can update it tomorrow. Updates are enforced to ensure everyone is using up-to-date forms, and forms can be remotely  disabled or removed from specified users at any time.
