Organizations in the logistics industry sometimes need operators to fill in paper/PDF forms. However, paper forms are not easy to carry around for on-site operators, and using PDF forms brings with it some friction and annoyance as you then try and pair it with your online systems and records. But there is a solution.
Don’t Bring Extra Work to Field Workers with PDF Forms
Logistics relies heavily on forms such as transfer forms, proof of delivery, safety checklists, etc. Traditional PDF forms require people to filled in with a third-party software or printed, which is inconvenient for field workers.
Data collection is another headache, as staffs need to either manually extract data or scan and collect it from printed PDF forms.
Convert Fillable PDF Logistics Forms into HTML Forms
FormVu is an SDK developed by IDRSolutions for developers to convert fillable PDF forms into HTML forms. FormVu can help logistics companies with displaying shipping forms, customs declarations, delivery acknowledgments to users on different web browsers while maintaining the forms look and feel.
What Can FormVu Help Logistics Organizations Achieve?
Increase On-Site Form Filling Efficiency
Logistics staffs work on the move — in trucks, warehouses, ports, etc. Compared to PDF forms, HTML forms are much easier to use on smartphones and tablets, with no need for PDF software.
With FormVu, operators can fill out the logistics forms directly in a browser on a mobile device or tablet, making it ideal for field workers.
Speed Up Approval and Payment Cycles
Field workers can submit forms to a URL after they finish filling them, and developers can get the data from the backend instantly.
With FormVu, once a driver completes a delivery, they can immediately submit a proof of delivery form online, which speeds up billing and payment processes and improves cash flow.
Easier Integration with Logistics Platform
Compared to native HTML forms, it’s trickier to integrate PDF forms into web applications.
With FormVu, logistics organizations can integrate the converted HTML forms into a web application workflow while retaining all their interaction and functionality as well as the look of original PDF forms. Here’s an example video of how we integrate it into our website.
