Tablet PC Forms by Formic

Formic's Tablet PC Forms Module enables mobile workers to capture information electronically at the front-line and download instantly to enterprise applications; thereby eliminating the manual entry of data from paper documents. With the time lag from information capture to information use massively reduced organisations are able to respong quickly to insight from the field.

Here’s a summary of the other key benefits:

MOBILITY AND CONVENIENCE

Because part-completed forms can be saved locally until they are ready to be submitted, the task of record keeping accommodates irregular work patterns. What’s more, the forced accuracy of data entry guarantees meticulous record keeping in roles where this is a fundamental requirement.

THE VERSATILITY AND FEEL OF PAPER

The experience of filling out a Tablet PC form is reminiscent of paper. Use the pen-like stylus to put ticks in boxes, mark an area on an image or even write freehand and the software will instantly transpose your joined-up handwriting into alphanumeric characters. You can even create a library of special words or phrases for instant, trouble-free recognition. A keypad provides an alternative method of entering data.

FORMS PRE-POPULATION SAVES VALUABLE TIME

Just enter a pre-selected piece of data, job number for example, and have your form pre-populated with other information unique to that record. Not only does this save valuable time but also protects data integrity by relying on a single source for core static information. Alternatively, specified data values, unseen by the mobile worker, can be attached to the record upon submission to the Formic database.

FULL VALIDATION, CLEAN DATA

The business rules that decide whether a form is accepted or rejected are embedded in the Tablet
PC Form - contributing to a significant increase in data accuracy and reliability. If any invalid data is
entered, error messages appear encouraging the user to make the necessary corrections. At periodic
intervals, the worker simply connects their tablet to the network and uploads all completed forms;

sending the underlying data along with an ink version of the form to a secure location. The software will not permit invalid forms to be submitted.

BIOMETRIC SIGNATURE AUTHENTICATION

To prevent impersonators from submitting sensitive forms, the option to add biometric signature authentication provides a new level of security. The software is trained to recognise the speed, pattern and pressure applied when a user signs a form and match this to a databank of authorised user(s). If the signature goes unrecognised, the form cannot be submitted.

FAST, LIGHTWEIGHT INSTALLATION

Installing Tablet PC Forms could not be easier as no specialist skills are required. Simply follow the
set up instructions and the software automatically loads a local cached copy of your existing form design onto the tablet’s hard drive for immediate use. The speed of other applications on the tablet
is not affected because the file is so lightweight. What’s more, it’s compatible with all tablet PC’s on
the market today.
