    Electronic forms - Professional services

    Professional services

    Our professional services team are here to make your implementation as smooth as possible.

    Although the eForms software is a low-code application, our teams create the web forms, workflows, and interfaces for most clients as they lack the internal resources or desire to build the solution themselves. Typically, we will conduct a ‘discovery phase’ to gather requirements before building a fully operational, bespoke solution for you.

    Whether you prefer to build the system internally or need our professional services team to deliver a customised solution, we can help you digitalise paper forms and automate manual tasks in a few weeks.

    Create electronic forms

    Accurate data capture

    Create electronic forms

    Create rich, interactive electronic forms in an intuitive form builder to gather and display information. No coding knowledge is required.

    Simply drag and drop controls (e.g., input boxes, checkboxes, date/time pickers, sliders, ratings, dropdown lists, radio buttons and switches) onto the page. Users can show/hide and protect/unprotect fields or entire sections as well as make them mandatory/optional or empty/pre-populated.

    For end-users, invalid form fields are automatically highlighted for correction with data validated on input or form submission – even against external data sources.

    Flexible forms

    Add attachments

    Add attachments of any format (XLS, JPG, DOC etc.) to support the form submission.

    Printable PDF

    Printable PDF

    Printable PDF generation of the complete form, including attachments.

    Save for later

    Save for later

    Users can save partially completed forms and submit them later when further information is available.

    Form locking

    Form locking

    Once a form has been submitted, the form will be locked down with users no longer able to edit or modify the data.

    Predicted authorisation path

    Predicted authorisation path

    Show the estimated approval steps once a form has been submitted.

    Comment log

    Comment log

    Enable authorised users to add time-stamped notes to a form. These Q&As and comments are visible to executives later in the approval chain.

    Automated workflows

    Electronic forms with workflow

    Automated workflows

    Electronic form processing without workflow is simple data collection.

    In a point-and-click interface, the optional workflow automation component allows you to model the approval path for submitted forms based on the business rules you configure.

    Web workspaces

    Monitor business processes

    Web workspaces

    The system is web-based and accessed through intuitive web workspaces. Users will be assigned a bespoke web portal tailored to their role (e.g., Initiator, Approver, Administrator) where they can:

    • Initiate forms
    • View assigned tasks
    • Review the current status of active forms
    • Locate archived form submissions

    The web workspaces include a settings page for administrators to create, edit and delete user accounts for the system.

    Additionally, configurable dashboards provide real-time visibility into your forms and workflows. They graphically display metrics about your business processes such as KPIs, status, trends, and user/process performance. This means they can discover process bottlenecks and intervene, if needed, to keep things running smoothly.

    Once the process is complete, you can export data to pre-defined Excel templates, other common formats, or third-party systems via a powerful API.

      We love the simplicity of the system. The actual form has not changed much. You now complete it online. It still captures all the same information. Crucially, the quality of submitted requests has improved as certain fields are auto-filled, calculated automatically or contain rules such as a mandatory field or display a warning if certain conditions are not met. We’ve made the process tighter and more consistent.
