Bombarded with a mountain load of request forms, participation forms, purchase orders, paid leave applications, sick leave forms, and others to process?

There are so many things you have to apply for and so many forms to fill out. Since filling out paper forms is such a hassle, you start to think if you should hire some software engineers to make your life easier.

Since forms are integral to a company’s brand, you wonder if there is a way to make the form creation process easier and smarter.

Form creation, the first step in creating a positive customer experience

We are living in an era of usability where customers are gained through superb customer experience. Companies are trying to win over customers by trying to one-up each other in providing the best customer experience. These days, many banks are transforming existing paper forms such as request forms, agreement forms, and statement forms into electronic forms thereby digitizing the customer experience. In the fast-food industry, digital kiosks are replacing line-ups so that customers no longer need to wait to order.

As you can see, in the year 2020, customers are exposed to digitalization and getting used to it, whether they want it or not. For customers, creating a form (request form, medical form, etc.) is the first step in experiencing a company’s service. This is actually very important as having a pleasant experience gives customers high expectations toward a company while having a hassle-filled experience does the opposite.

The hassle of paper forms

Filling out paper forms is very annoying for both requesters and recipients. Just to fill out a form once, you need to have a pen and paper with you, and filling out something incorrectly or accidentally ripping a paper means you must start from the beginning again.

As for recipients of paper forms, they must manually input the information they receive into the computer, and this process is subject to many human errors. To make matters worse, storing paper forms is yet another annoying task as it consumes a lot of physical space and finding the form you are looking for in a paper pile is like finding a needle in a haystack!

Smart e-forms anyone can create

However, for freelancers and small business owners who do not have any software engineers, creating a digital application is no easy feat. Just the thought of if probably makes you nauseous.

Luckily, there’s eformsign. You too can create online request forms without any coding skills. All you need is knowledge of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Just simply have an existing form ready, and voila! You can just use it as it is!
