About Datascape Mobile Capture
Datascape Mobile Capture allows you to transform paper-based forms into a fully electronic online process. Your customers can make bookings, your staff can manage the overall schedule or use a job queue approach, and your field workers or contractors can record what happened while on the go. The mobile app can be used on-line or off-line on any modern phone or tablet device.
The data captured includes custom forms, photos, audio, GPS, signatures and drawings. You can print tickets in the field too (while disconnected), using a Bluetooth printer. All data captured is then uploaded to the Datascape cloud solution, where custom workflow, emails, PDFs and integration can be configured.
The app is suitable for inspection and job queue based scenarios, as well as allowing ad-hoc data capture.
Please Note: this app can only be used if you are an existing Datascape Mobile Capture customer. For the app to work you will need a verification code, supplied by your company's Datascape Mobile Capture administrator. If you are not an existing customer but would like to trial the app, please email LGsales@datacom.co.nz and we will provide you with a code you can use.
