A question I get asked often by new customers and new contacts joining existing customers is, what is the best approach to learning ProntoForms?
I think it's important to reflect on why you want to learn it first. Fully understanding why your organization has adopted ProntoForms will help drive your motivation to learn more about the platform.
ProntoForms allows companies to automate workflows and streamline processes through its powerful workflow engine. By defining rules, triggers, and approvals, companies can automate tasks such as work order assignments, equipment maintenance, quality control checks, and asset management. This automation eliminates bottlenecks, reduces response times, and ensures seamless coordination between different teams, resulting in improved productivity and operational efficiency.
Companies often face stringent compliance requirements and regulatory standards. ProntoForms helps ensure compliance by capturing accurate and auditable data, including timestamps, geo-location, and digital signatures. This creates a comprehensive audit trail that demonstrates compliance with regulatory authorities, enhances transparency, and mitigates compliance risks.
Here is how I would suggest new users approach learning ProntoForms.
