The ins and outs of online fillable forms

I used to hate techniques and self-help productivity books—until I heard about the Pomodoro technique for productivity.

We are all familiar with how hospitality businesses operate–the usual greetings, escort services, food assistance, hotel bookings, and more. While it is common for businesses providing hospitality to offer a 5-star customer experience, what most companies in this field don’t pay attention to is the customer’s data gathering and management.

Today, every single software has been benefiting from the large advantage of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). Because of the API, the performance of applications and web systems becomes seamless and more convenient. Our online forms here in PlatoForms are equipped with API for PDF forms–allowing you to streamline your form usage.

Back in the day, scanner machines contribute to the glorious use of PDFs. Using PDFs meant manual scanning and filling out of forms—thankfully, with the help of online PDF software, it is possible to turn PDFs into web form today.

PDF is popular. When Adobe released the PDF format in 2008 as an open standard, people have known PDF as the most convenient, pocket-sized, and ideal document format for every type of industry.

Back in the day, people will travel miles and miles away just to get one handwritten signature from a business deal.

Ever tried to fill out a PDF form online but quit midway because it’s tiring to put the same information over and over again?

It’s the digital age of automation and online transactions—but some companies still like sticking to the old.

Online classes truly tested not just the patience of teachers and students, but also their ability to work independently. Since students are used to face-to-face learning, a lot have struggled with a few internet connection problems, technical difficulties, and being able to focus at home. From a survey conducted by EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research, 70% out of 40,000 students said that they’d prefer face-to-face learning because it’s more engaging. Aside from the typical distractions at home, it’s simply not easy for students to build a designated learning space compared to classrooms.

Working from home is more than sitting at computers and sipping coffee every day. It also means juggling with personal life such as taking care of kids, getting distracted by pets, and battling with background noises at home.

Let’s face it: Email is now boring.

Thanks to the advancement of technology, we can now collaborate without being hindered by time and location. Because of electricity, the internet, and the right collaborating tools—team collaboration is now within reach.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of telehealth began to rise rapidly to expand the health assistance to patients amidst quarantine limitations. Since everyone is advised to stay at home, those who seek medical help found convenience through telehealth for check-ups. Since medical consultations are now conducted online, the use of online forms to obtain patient information needs to be more secured than ever. Thankfully, HIPAA compliance exists. Because of this act, healthcare providers have the HIPAA authorization to obtain medical information from forms.

Filling out the same information across multiple business forms wastes time and increases errors. Whether you’re in real estate, HR, education, or running an online business, duplicating data across documents is frustrating and inefficient.
