Follow on Google News | ![]() Maul Foster & Alongi Streamlines Field Data Collection and App Building with FlowfinityEach day, hundreds of samples are collected in the field and sent to labs for further analysis. MFA was looking for a way to improve efficiency of technical data collection, which was conducted on paper and spreadsheets. The firm selected Flowfinity software for its comprehensive list of features that could meet the firm's strict data quality, analysis, and reporting requirements. MFA built an end-to-end workflow solution that includes mobile business applications. When required, app revisions are applied automatically across all smartphones and tablets. Now, all field data is captured faster and more accurately. Samples are efficiently logged on mobile devices using photos with annotations, audio recordings, quick dropdowns, and nested data structures. The forms provide an authoritative source of data, and are available to management in real-time for same day visibility. Field staff can work productively even in remote locations with Flowfinity's offline functionality. "We significantly increased field visibility for our project managers," said Grant Herbert, Senior GIS Analyst/Developer. "With Flowfinity custom mobile apps, our project managers reduce the time required to review data from days to minutes. Time saved on photo management alone can be dozens of hours per project." MFA also integrates its system with existing GIS data and other SQL server databases for access to geospatial information and data synchronization. Utilizing deep links, field staff can pull up GIS maps showing project locations and initiate data collection. All edits are instantly updated across all GIS maps and mobile forms that display the data.
