Integrated Digital Forms

Outdated Forms Processes?

If your business is still wrestling with paper forms or static PDFs, switching to DocuWare’s integrated digital forms offers a smarter, safer, and more efficient path forward. You’ll not only save time and money—you’ll empower your team, protect your data, and build workflows that work for you.

With any kind of data capture tool, efficiency and accuracy aren’t just nice-to-haves—they’re essential. That’s why forward-thinking organisations are moving away from the frustrations of traditional paper forms and even standalone digital PDFs. Instead, they’re embracing the streamlined, intelligent digital forms offered by DocuWare, and here's why:

Intelligent, Flexible Form Design

DocuWare isn’t just a digital form builder—it’s your form architect. With a drag-and-drop editor, you can effortlessly build forms using text fields, drop-downs, checkboxes, date pickers, file uploads, tables—you name it. Each submission becomes a fully searchable PDF, with attachments preserved, indexed, and ready when you need them.

Built-In Smarts for Fewer Errors

Forget manual checks. DocuWare forms support conditional logic (“if-then” behaviors), automatic field validation, data masks for input formatting (like IBANs or phone numbers), and pre-populated fields (think name or email)—all helping to make sure information is accurate and complete before it’s even submitted.
