Product: A La Mode FormMobi

1 MIN READ

After a long day on a project site, filing a stack of field measurements, notes, and change-order requests is one of the last things that you want to do. The FormMobi app by A La Mode eases the paper-pushing process by turning your mobile Apple or Android device into a virtual clipboard that syncs up with the cloud. Users can input project data into custom or preexisting templates and forms, record audio, scan barcodes, make calculations, shoot photos, acquire GPS coordinates, and collect client signatures. FormMobi also offers two sketching tools: Advanced CAD Sketch allows users to draw grid-based drawings to scale, add dimensions and labels, and export files to AutoCAD, while Freehand Sketch provides a canvas to fulfill its namesake. Operable without an Internet connection, FormMobi will sync back up to the cloud when access is restored. Starting at $9.99 per month; formmobi.com
