FormDocs can automate, distribute, and manage the forms that drive your business: Quality Assurance (QA) documentation, Inspection Reports, Production Order Forms, Engineering Change Order Forms (ECN), and other forms necessary to document and streamline your process cycle. Whether you design and manufacture goods or provide engineering services, replacing your paperwork with FormDocs electronic forms can provide substantial cost savings and increased efficiency throughout your entire department. How? Your critical information won't get misplaced, misfiled, or become log-jammed while others in your organization wait for its completion or approval, enabling more of your department's work to get completed in less time.
Here's how:
Use or modify our ready-made sample forms, convert your paper forms or files, design your own custom forms, or hire our professional services to re-create your forms for you at an affordable price.
If you already have vendor, BOM, or parts data in your own databases and spreadsheets, you can easily link that data to your forms for automatic fill-in.
Insert or attach engineering drawings, schematics, photos, and other documents to any form so that all related information remains bound together.
Obtain approvals using 'point & click' digital signatures or capture handwritten signatures using Windows Tablet computers or signature pad devices.
Implement your standard workflows by routing forms among staff members for their input and to supervisors for their review and approval.
Enter an unlimited number of line items using scrolling tables.
Automatically and accurately calculate multiple rows, columns, sub-totals, and grand totals
Export information from a form and import it into your databases and spreadsheets.
Archive completed forms into your back-end document management system as PDF, TIF, or native.
Convert your paper forms, or MS Word and Adobe PDF files, into fill-able FormDocs forms.
A typical scenario is the following: you complete an Engineering Change Notification (ECN) form which then needs sequential review and approval by multiple persons. Using FormDocs forms routing feature, you create a 'routing slip' which will automatically send the form to your list of recipients in the order you specify; upon reviewing the form, each recipient has the option to indicate their approval by digitally signing it and then 'routing' it on to the next person or, they can return it to the sender for requested corrections or additions.
