Re-flow\u2019s powerful digital forms offer a smarter way to streamline your workflows, improve team coordination, keep your teams safe and stay ahead of evolving regulations<\/h2>\n

Relying on manual data entry or rigid systems can lead to inefficiencies and compliance risks, but digital forms can easily evade these obstacles.<\/p>\n

The no-code form builder is easy-to-use and offers almost 50 pre-built forms. Companies can adapt these forms or create their own to suit individual or client needs.\"\"<\/p>\n

Simplifying form builds<\/h3>\n

The modular design lets you add and customise fields in an intuitive interface, with full visibility of how it works in the app.<\/p>\n

Building powerful forms in minutes through a block-based builder means, you can: add text, radio buttons, checkboxes, signatures, dropdowns, GPS stamps, photos, and more.<\/p>\n

New fields<\/strong> range from basic to formula-driven, enhancing compliance and safety while reducing communication gaps and human error.<\/p>\n

Re-flow keeps formulas powerful yet accessible to anyone, enabling a no-code approach for teams.<\/p>\n

Additional details<\/strong> on those fields selected can be added \u2013 limits can be set on number of photos, date formats, text etc.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Automation<\/a> and rule sets allow you to trigger notifications, emails and text messages. They can also alter the schedule, put jobs on hold and make changes to existing record sets, such as statuses on vehicles and equipment. This improves responsiveness and visibility without causing delays to the job.<\/p>\n

Form PDFs generate from the app forms, allowing you to select captured information and use formatting for clarity, such as highlighting defects or risk ratings in a specific colour.<\/p>\n

Collection PDFs enable easy reporting by viewing multiple submissions in one document.<\/p>\n

All these features reduce the admin burden on operatives and ensure all the data being received is accurate and in real-time. This improves overall visibility and allows managers to see any gaps in compliance and safety.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What kinds of forms are made with the form builder<\/a>?<\/h3>\n

Some key examples include:<\/p>\n

1. Timesheets (Geo-stamped)<\/h4>\n

Businesses can capture data with location and time verification, reducing false entries and improving payroll accuracy.<\/p>\n

2. Daily work records<\/h4>\n

Operatives can list completed tasks, show the number of materials used, add photographic evidence, and record the tools they have used.<\/p>\n

3. LOLER and PUWER compliance forms<\/h4>\n
