Why You Need Mobile Forms in Your Security Company

In order to be an effective security provider, you need to keep people safe from harm. This requires prompt and efficient service from your team of security personnel. Whenever something untoward happens, your team must file an incident report to help you during the investigation that usually follows an accident or unforeseen event. This means that your team must be able to provide details of the incident in question in a timely and orderly manner. To ensure accurate reporting, it helps to use mobile forms instead of relying on paperwork because it helps you save time and money and also ensures accuracy in reporting.

Save Money with Mobile Forms

A 2011 study conducted by Coopers & Lybrand (now PricewaterhouseCoopers) reveals that companies spend $20 in labor fees just to file a single document, $120 simply to search for a misfiled document, and $220 to reproduce a lost document.

Imagine how much time and money you can save when you switch to smart forms instead of relying on paper. Your security personnel can enter information directly into the paperless form using their smartphones or tablet. Once the form is uploaded into the management portal, there is no need for additional data entry because the form is now complete and safely stored in the “cloud.” You also increase accuracy as your reports are created in and automatically corrected by the app.

Benefits of Mobile Incident Reporting

Here are some of the benefits that you will enjoy when using mobile incident reporting:

You’re guaranteed to find a detailed and accurate report that is closer to the truth than any paper form you could ever use.

5. Reports Come Alive with Drawings and Photos – You can also upload drawings and photos into the management portal together with your mobile incident report.
