How can GoCanvas save me money? (ROI)

GoCanvas users find savings in any number of areas across their businesses. From paper and ink to time wasted with data entry, customers love GoCanvas because it helps them get back to work.

But it’s not just about how much (though we can help you calculate that with our GoCanvas ROI tool); we also know there are several different ways that GoCanvas can help you save.

Immediate Savings

GoCanvas customers see savings right away, with things like:

• Cutting the cost of the paper.
  
  
• Eradicating the need to re-enter data collected and transcribed from paper based forms into back office systems. GoCanvas saves businesses not only money but time.
  
  
• Increasing mobile workers’ productivity. No longer do they have to look up items in price books, parts catalogs, etc. All the information rests in the palm of their hands via their GoCanvas app.

Long Term Savings

Long term savings are more subtle and can be harder to quantify. Still, these areas are still important and can add tremendous value. GoCanvas helps long term savings by:

• Collecting more data than ever before. Your smartphone has great tools: capturing GPS, camera, voice transcription. GoCanvas harnesses these to expand your dataset. Are you a plumber? Add before and after photos to your invoice. Are you great at networking but terrible at remembering names? Take a photo to add to the entry. Expand your data, and watch your business go further.
  
  
• Reducing transcription errors due to paper forms. Paper forms contain handwritten entries, which are often hard to read. Having everything instantly digitized reduces confusion and errors with typed entries. Imagine reducing errors in billing, parts delivered, inventory quantities, and customer information. Eliminating these errors will save you time, money, and strengthens your customer relations.
  
  
• Eliminating the information delay between the field and the back office. Inspectors can spend more time in the field rather than in the office typing up reports. Employees send estimates immediately after meeting the client, rather than hours later after typing up their notes and calculations.
  
  
• Improving social responsibility by going more green. Removing the paper saves thousands of trees. It's an initiative we can all be proud of.
  
  
• Making available catalogs, pricelists, or medical records available for the field. In paper form, this data can be cumbersome, and hard to update. With GoCanvas, it's easy to update and instantly deploy.

GoCanvas has helped businesses of all shapes and sizes change the way they use data and get back to work.
