1. ✓ Adrian | Mobile Forms - Digital Inspections - Enterprise Checklists - Data collection

   | Marketing at Mobile Forms | about 4 years ago
   A good beginners tool to start your digital transformation.

   One of our customers said: Our small mining operation needed to go from paper based process to digital forms. At first, Google forms allowed us to use this Web-based platform that lets individuals and businesses of all sizes build customizable forms to conduct surveys and generate real-time response charts.

   We saw that a small sample of our field workers quickly adopted the new way of working.

   Step 1: accomplished.

   Now unto step 2.

   How do we deploy this unto our whole team? We needed email notifications, offline response collection when without wifi on the field. Our CIO and his director of operations needed deep data and trends analysis as well. Our inspectors, when doing their audits, needed to capture approx. 25 high definition pictures, some audio notes and a video which wasn't really possible with google forms.

   So, we can 100% credit the use of google forms to our transition towards a paperless process, but as we navigated saashub.com a little more, we were able to discover a world of alternatives. We strongly suggest to start using google forms before undergoing a big implementation plan towards such enterprise level inspection tools like nspek or even cheaper solutions like prontoforms.

   I am not sure if we would start with google's solution first if we would to do this digital transformation all over, but it did allow us to discover it's limits pretty quickly.

   At some point, we needed custom fields and functions, and none of us was able to code, so the nSpek training that comes with the application definitely sets it's self apart, giving us full autonomy.

   🏁 Competitors: nSpek, ProntoForms

• Interview with Viktor Lofgren from Marginalia Search

  > ... a project called "Nutch" would allow web users to crawl the web themselves. Perhaps that promise is similar to the promises being made about "AI" today. The project did not turn out to be used in the way it was predicted (marketed), or even used by web users at all. Actually Nutch is used to produce the Common Crawl[0] and 60% of GPT-3's training data was Common Crawl[1], so in a way it is being used... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
