Frequently asked questions

What is Wise Forms?

Wise Forms is a mobile data collection system that replaces traditional paper forms. You will be able to collect all the data you need by using a Smartphone or a PDA, with countless additional advantages.


What does Wise Forms consist of?

The complete Wise Forms solution consists of a PC software for creating and editing forms, a mobile device application for collecting data and an Internet service to transfer information between both parties. You can use one or more components, depending on your needs. Please contact us for information on licensing options.


What is different about Wise Forms?

Wise Forms includes several features that make it truly unique, such as:
Ability to create multiple and branched interrelated forms, allowing the implementation of a relational data model identical to those used in the most common databases. For example, if you wanted to organise your music collection, you could simply create a form for the album information (name, artist, year, etc.) and a sub-form for track information (name, time, etc.). This type of model greatly simplifies information collection, search and integration in a database system.
Creation of data validation rules, without any programming. Rules are created through dropdown lists and can include conditions (if, then, else), logic operations (and, or) and arithmetic operations. Rules can also be used to validate a single field or test the relationship between various form fields.
Data is automatically saved and backup copies can be made to an external drive. This way, data will be safe, even in case of equipment failure.

What is the return on investment in this solution?

The advantages of Wise Forms are mostly found in the time saved in tasks such as data collection in the field, transcription from paper forms to the computer and validation of collected data. Since time is money, the hundreds of hours you will save represent significant profits for your business.
According to our experience, in most situations, the investment in this system is returned in less a year.
For intensive use, such as periodic inventories involving thousands of assets or situations requiring different forms, your investment will be returned within a few months, when compared to traditional solutions or other solutions based on custom-fit inflexible software.
