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

• Would it be dangerouse to give strangers my costum domain?

  One risk is that with some ISP's, the IP address can be geo located down to the neighborhood. It might be smart to use a tunneling service like https://ngrok.com/ or https://pagekite.net/, which essentially sets up a server somewhere else, which then forwards the traffic to your PC. But your viewers only get the IP of that server. Source: about 1 year ago

• Simple HTML website will work fine on PC, but will not work at all on mobile.

  The story so far: I am creating a very, very simple website. So far, it is only an image and some text. I want to expose this website to the world, but my router is behind CGNAT. So, I use a tunnelling tool to expose it to the internet, then will use a domain to redirect it to the tunnel. I use pagekite to do this, since they have free 'permanent' subdomains (I cannot change every time I get a new ngrok link, not... Source: over 1 year ago
