GPS field data capture inside your workflows

But without GPS field data capture, managing all of that location-based information means a lot of juggling apps. They’ve got one for maps, another for forms. Having to manually key in co-ordinates after the fact is an extra step that’s often forgotten. Without a better way to manage that data, you end up with errors, delays, and gaps by the time it gets to the systems your business runs on.

Your crews are doing one job across three apps. That ends here.

When location data is fragmented across tools, it creates more work for the frontline. Swiveling between GoFormz, your maps app, and your asset tracker is clunky. It slows you down. And manual re-entry is not just a hassle, it’s unreliable. It’s too easy to make mistakes, put it off until later, or not to do it at all.

Your construction supervisor doing a site walk or technician completing a work order has enough on their plate. They don’t need to be switching back and forth between screens or manually taking notes to key in later. The disconnect just makes their job harder, and increases the likelihood of mistakes, shortcuts, and oversights.

From an operations perspective, this gap creates even more problems downstream. When location data isn’t attached to the form record, traveling with it as it moves through your systems and teams, you wind up paying the price in billing, compliance, and asset management — all of which can increase risk and decrease efficiency.

Close the gap. (And the second app.)

With GoFormz, location data now lives inside your field workflows. No more app-switching, co-ordinate tracking, or manual re-entry.

Close Google Maps for good. With map context right there in your field forms, there’s no need for your maps app. Crews can add satellite, terrain, or standard map views as Sketch field backgrounds, and pan or zoom to their exact work zone without changing screens. Plus, you can annotate directly on the map, and that becomes part of the form record. No separate photo app, markup tool, or extra step to re-attach required.

See the right asset, first. Proximity asset tracking is easy — when you tap a GPS-enabled database field, GoFormz captures your current location and shows the closest asset, job site, or work order first. Stop scrolling through 400 rows to find what you’re looking for. Simply select the closest asset and all the linked fields populate automatically.

Capture co-ordinates in the moment. GoFormz automatically captures GPS at every critical moment, so you don’t have to worry about tracking co-ordinates to enter later. Admins configure which fields do this — for example, when a JSA is signed, a photo is uploaded, or an inspection point is set. Set it once, and GoFormz does the rest. Coordinates are timestamped and stored with the form record, and field crews are off the hook.

What GPS field data capture looks like for you

When your field crews don’t have to worry about opening up maps or remembering to record location data, they’re more efficient. They can get where they need to go faster. Form records are robust and reliable. And your back office gets what they need — quickly, accurately, and without having to chase up crews or co-ordinates.

For utility and energy asset inspections, it means your field tech gets to the site, opens GoFormz, and sees the closest utility pole or turbine first. No wasting time searching for it. And when they submit the inspection form, GPS data automatically flows downstream to your CMMS or ERP.

Site walks and hazard documentation for construction projects are easier, too. Your supervisor just has to open a Sketch field in GoFormz to see a satellite view of the job site. Zoom to the active work zone and annotate hazard areas and progress markers directly on the map. Submission makes it part of the permanent record.

Auto-capture makes frontline safety records defensible on submission. As soon as a JSA is signed or a permit approved, GoFormz captures the GPS data along with the timestamp. Your safety workflows just got better, without changing how your crews work.

Position data, repositioned

Location data is already core to your field workflows — and now, it’s part of them. While standalone GIS tools capture that information, both the tools and the data sit outside your operational record.

GoFormz GPS and location intelligence is built inside the form workflow, making location proof part of the same record as your inspection findings, safety sign-offs, and T&M entries. That’s why GoFormz isn’t just another app in your stack. It’s the field system of record you can rely on.
