Digital forms for your field service team

Your technician fills in the form by hand on-site. You type it up again in the office that evening or at the end of the week. Handwritten, sometimes difficult to read and sometimes simply lost in the van.

With Simple-Simon’s digital forms, your technician completes every form and checklist on their phone: job sheets, maintenance reports, completion forms, inspection checklists and safety forms. You see the result immediately in the office, without having to call for updates or wait for a pile of paperwork.

What are digital forms?

Digital forms replace your paper checklists, inspection forms and completion forms. Your technician completes them on a phone or tablet on-site, including photos, measurement values, notes and the customer’s digital signature. The completed information is immediately available in the office and is stored as a PDF in your own branding with the relevant job sheet. There is no need to re-enter anything, and nothing gets lost.

What paper forms are costing you

Every industry has its own requirements and regulations where forms are essential. Simple-Simon supports installation companies recording NEN inspections, plumbers completing handover forms, maintenance companies carrying out long-term maintenance, and landscapers closing a job with the customer’s signature.

With Simple-Simon’s form builder, you create your own forms. Easily add fields for photos, digital signatures, multiple-choice questions and free text. You decide the order, which fields are required and how the form is laid out. No coding skills needed.

Make fields mandatory so nothing gets missed

For each form, you decide which fields are required. If a field is mandatory, your technician cannot complete the job sheet without filling it in. That saves you from having to follow up afterwards and gives you a complete record for inspections, audits or discussions with customers.

Frequently asked questions about digital forms

How much does it cost to digitise forms with Simple-Simon?
Simple-Simon costs €30 per user per month, with no contract and the option to cancel monthly. You create your forms yourself in your own account, so you don’t need a separate forms app or a second subscription. You can try it free for 2 weeks first.
Can my technicians fill in forms offline?
Yes. The app works fully offline, so your technician can fill in a form in a basement, a meter cupboard, on a roof or on an industrial estate with no signal. As soon as there’s a connection again, everything syncs to the office automatically.
Can I move my existing paper forms over?
Yes. In the form builder you recreate your existing form, field by field. You decide the order and layout yourself, so your technicians see the same questions in the same order as on paper. Got a lot of forms? We’ll help you with that during implementation.
Can the customer sign the form digitally?
Yes. Your customer signs on the screen of your technician’s phone or tablet. The signature is saved with the date and time as part of the form and appears on the PDF your customer receives. That way there’s no discussion afterwards about what was delivered or approved.
How is this different from a standalone forms app?
A standalone forms app gives you a neatly completed form, but someone still has to copy the data into your planning and invoicing afterwards. With Simple-Simon, the form sits in the same app as the work order, the hours and the materials. Fill it in once on site, and the job is ready to invoice.
