Released in June 2016, B2W Inform is a mobile-first data capture and analysis solution that mines data company-wide to generate reports, dashboards and alerts providing construction companies with timely, accurate information to improve operational performance, safety, quality and financial outcomes. Fast, easy creation and management of highly configurable form templates also enables companies to expand and structure data collection, replace inefficient paper-based processes, capture richer content in real time and connect field and office employees anytime, anywhere and on any device.

“Data that construction companies could use to improve performance, quality, safety and profitability is often underutilized because it is unstructured and trapped in multiple, static systems and formats used to collect it,” according to B2W Software CEO Paul McKeon. “Inform allows these companies to not only collect data more effectively, but also to connect and communicate that data to drive better decisions.”

With B2W Inform, users can create and publish highly configurable form templates with drag-and-drop elements such as text, tables, check boxes and pick lists. E-signatures, photos, attachments, calculation, timestamps and GPS location data can also be included.

“We’ve made it simple for almost anyone to configure forms to match specific needs and to centralize how those forms are published and managed,” McKeon explains. “This presents opportunities to connect the field and the office, replace inefficient processes and expand access to real-time data. 

B2W Inform can be implemented independently or to complement applications within the B2W ONE (Operational Networked Elements) Platform.
