Canvas (www.gocanvas.com) allows you to replace paper based forms and collect data using your mobile device. Canvas currently supports Android, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry - with iPhone and iPad support coming shortly.
Canvas supports standard data capture and advanced functionality like signature capture and image capture.
The process for using Canvas is:
- Build a data collection app using Canvas, or browse our catalog of pre-built data collection apps (individual app example)
- Collect data using your Android, Blackberry or Windows Mobile device
- Collected data is then stored in the Canvas centralized servers and can be turned into PDFs, exported to Excel or integrated with backend systems via web services.
