1. ✓ Adrian | Mobile Forms - Digital Inspections - Enterprise Checklists - Data collection

   | Marketing at Mobile Forms | almost 4 years ago
   A good beginners tool to start your digital transformation.

   One of our customers said: Our small mining operation needed to go from paper based process to digital forms. At first, Google forms allowed us to use this Web-based platform that lets individuals and businesses of all sizes build customizable forms to conduct surveys and generate real-time response charts.

   We saw that a small sample of our field workers quickly adopted the new way of working.

   Step 1: accomplished.

   Now unto step 2.

   How do we deploy this unto our whole team? We needed email notifications, offline response collection when without wifi on the field. Our CIO and his director of operations needed deep data and trends analysis as well. Our inspectors, when doing their audits, needed to capture approx. 25 high definition pictures, some audio notes and a video which wasn't really possible with google forms.

   So, we can 100% credit the use of google forms to our transition towards a paperless process, but as we navigated saashub.com a little more, we were able to discover a world of alternatives. We strongly suggest to start using google forms before undergoing a big implementation plan towards such enterprise level inspection tools like nspek or even cheaper solutions like prontoforms.

   I am not sure if we would start with google's solution first if we would to do this digital transformation all over, but it did allow us to discover it's limits pretty quickly.

   At some point, we needed custom fields and functions, and none of us was able to code, so the nSpek training that comes with the application definitely sets it's self apart, giving us full autonomy.

   🏁 Competitors: nSpek, ProntoForms

   👍 Pros:    No sign up cost

   👎 Cons:    Customization|Customer support|Data protection and security|No video|No pictures

  Https://backdropcms.org/ ? D7 fork. If you want to stay there. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Alternatives to Laravel?

  Https://backdropcms.org was a fork of Drupal before the rewrite. It was pretty decent when I tried it (admittedly several years ago). Source: 11 months ago

• The Magic of Small Databases

  I see you decided on Wordpress, if you were going to use a CMS I think Drupal 7 would have been a good choice. Drupal has concept of entities and views. An entity as the name suggests is essentially a table and you can add all sorts of different fields to it. From simple text and number fields to images and fields that lookup other entities thus creating relationships between entities. Views is another construct... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Doing some research on technologies: Why are a large portion of Drupal downloads still the Drupal 7 version?

  I think some smaller biz and nonprofits jumped off to https://backdropcms.org. Source: over 1 year ago

• Doing some research on technologies: Why are a large portion of Drupal downloads still the Drupal 7 version?

  Some might switch to Backdrop which is a project forked from D7. Some sites will probably just continue to run (technically unsupported) until someone shuts the server down. Source: over 1 year ago
