Every business has forms either for internal processing or as part of doing business. Is your business still using paper forms to track employee time off requests, purchase order requisitions or job site reports?  If so, Dawson Technologies can help you automate a lot of those processes, improving productivity and cutting down on paper files.

Many industries require the use of daily inspection reports, job site safety reports and many other state regulated reports. The result is often incomplete stacks of paper forms kept on job sites, prone to being lost or damaged.

Dawson Technologies can customize and convert many of those forms into electronic formats which can be automated to be delivered to a central location in your server file system or routed to a specific employee for processing. Electronic forms can be customized to enforce field validation to ensure accuracy and completion.

Completed electronic forms use a consistent file naming convention, can be stored in specific file folders as PDF for native Office format. The result is consistency, accuracy and predictability in form completion and processing.

Need electronic signatures on your forms? No problem. Using USB attached signature pads and customized VBA code, we can imbed encrypted digital signatures in your completed forms, even in Citrix or Terminal Server environments.

Sample Form:

  Paint Coverage Calculator.xlsm   (You will need Excel 2007 to open the sample file)

This form was developed for a national paint company to determine the actual paint wastage on each project. Simple as the form may seem, this form enabled to customer to determine how much paint he was wasting on each project, enabling him to provide more accurate bids on future projects and significantly increasing profit margins. The benefit is not as much in the cosmetic layout of the form, but rather the macros which perform the business logic calculations to produce the numbers in the utilization section.
