Data Collection
Despite much talk to digitalisation in recent years, the paper-based approach may still be the most common method of data collection at many organisations. There are significant issues associated with a paper-based data approach, such as high error rates, slow reporting and low integrity of data.
As mobile devices become more affordable with a reduced learning curve, collecting different types of information with the help of a mobile device just makes perfect business sense! Not only does it help us save time, money, and human resources, it is also way more environmentally friendly by saving countless paper.
