Replacing field paperwork with a mobile app
Problem
Field staff captured inspections on paper, then re-keyed them back at the office: slow, error-prone, and impossible to report on.
Process
Built a canvas app with offline capture on Dataverse, so inspections are recorded once, on-site, and flow straight into reporting.
Payoff
Roughly 70% less manual paperwork and same-day visibility into field results.
Inspections were captured on paper in the field and re-entered at the office: double the work and a steady stream of transcription errors. Reporting was always days behind reality.
I built a canvas app with offline capture on a Dataverse foundation, so field staff record each inspection once, on the device in their hand, even without signal. The data lands structured and ready to report on, and the paperwork step is gone.
