Why Field Service Teams Need Forms & Checklists Software

Evidence of your work being completed can be done by using forms and checklists.

Paper Forms vs Digital Forms

Low cost to start with but becomes costly in the office.

Issues with paper forms:

• Lost or damaged in the truck
• Slower to complete due to handwriting
• Data will need to be re-typed
• Difficult to find previous records
• Photos will be stored on the phone separately

Advantages with digital forms:

• Searchable records
• Photos will be attached to correct job
• Work can be reviewed by managers the same day
• Consistent templates can be used between crews
• No re-typing for office staff.

Disadvantages with digital forms:

• Monthly subscriptions
• Templates take time to set up
• Training needed for technicians
• Reliant on phones and batteries.

What Industry Research Says

Essential Features to Look for in Forms & Checklists Software

1. Digital Forms & Form Builders

A good form builder will allow managers to create templates with bespoke fields. Technicians can then fill out the same digital forms.

They should allow you to collect all the information from customers, job details, photos, comments and signature in one go. The templates should be editable in the office without a developer.

They should also have validation features. This means there are mandatory fields and conditional logic to show/hide questions depending on answers.

2. Checklist Software

Look for:

• Checklist items with completion
• Reusable templates
• Repeatable checklists

Checklists can be assigned by managers for different job types or equipment types. This ensures consistency when technicians are using the checklists for equipment checks, maintenance tasks and safety.

They will show if tasks were completed.

3. Mobile Forms Software

Technicians will be using their phone with gloves on, glare and having one free hand. The forms should be quick and easy to complete with taps.

The technicians can log everything that happened during the job using the mobile app. This includes comments, labour, materials and attaching photos.

Try to test the photo and signature features on an actual phone.

4. Offline Forms & Checklist Software

Basements, attics and rural locations will cause no signal. Ask:

• Can I complete the forms offline?
• Can I save photos locally?
• Can I sign offline?
• Are errors easy to identify when syncing?

Once there is signal the forms should sync to the main system. If they do not sync then the office will not be able to view them.

5. Workflow Automation

Alerts

• Approval processes
• Supervisor review
• Workflow automation can be used to send alerts to managers and send the form to a supervisor for approval.

Depending on the product and plan, some will have more features. GoCanvas have multi-user workflows on the Pro plan and TrueContext have approval workflows on the Intelligent plan.

6. Digital Signatures & Photo Attachments

Signatures help to ensure that the customer has approved or completed. Photos will help to provide evidence.

Every time a form is completed it will create a digital record. These can be used for reporting and analysis. They can also be used as compliance documents.

Ask how long they are kept for and who can view them.

7. Integration with FSM, CRM & Accounting

Most plans will fall down here. Ask specifically what information is passed through. This should include customer, job, labour, materials, photos and signatures.

There will usually be some manual data entry.

Forms & checklists can integrate with field service management software, CRM, scheduling and accounting. Ideally this will link the work order with job details, technician assigned, job location and completed service report.

Ideally customer information will come through from the CRM. Labour and materials are most important for the accounting software.

Standalone Form Builders vs Form Builders Within Field Service Management Software

8. PDF & General Form Builders

These can be used for basic requirements. However, they can become messy if you need to link to jobs, complete offline and approvals.

9. Standalone Forms & Checklists

Tools such as GoCanvas, FastField, SafetyCulture, TrueContext and Fulcrum have:

• More logic
• Can complete offline
• Reporting

However, these will not be within your scheduling tool. This means the form may be assigned by a manager/dispatcher.
