Mobile Forms App Explainer Video: How Digital Checklists Simplify Safety & Compliance
This page showcases our explainer video and a practical guide to what a mobile forms app can do for your operations—digital checklists, real‑time alerts, photo evidence, geo‑time stamps and a full audit trail. If you’re still using paper, this resource shows how to move to a modern, verifiable workflow with DIGI CLIP.
- Digitise inspections and pre‑starts with photo evidence & geo‑time stamps
- Trigger automated alerts and action items for non‑conformances
- Close out corrective actions with a central Action Register
- Generate audit‑ready PDFs and exportable trails in seconds
- Support WHS, CoR and ISO 45001 compliance with verifiable data
What is a Mobile Forms App?
A mobile forms app replaces paper checklists with secure, digital workflows on phones and tablets. Field teams complete inspections, pre‑starts and audits onsite; photos, signatures and geo‑time stamps are captured as evidence; and a cloud dashboard consolidates data for reporting, analytics and compliance management.
- Consistent, standardised forms and templates across locations
- Evidence capture: photos, signatures, annotations and geo‑time stamps
- Automated emails and alerts for non‑conformances
- Action Register to assign, track and close corrective actions
- Audit‑ready PDFs and exportable audit trails

Paper vs Digital: Why a Mobile Forms App Wins
| Paper | Digital (DIGI CLIP) |
|---|---|
| Manual data entry; delayed reporting | Real‑time submissions from any device |
| Hard to prove compliance to auditors | Photo evidence + geo‑time stamps + signature trail |
| Actions get lost in emails and spreadsheets | Central Action Register with due dates and owners |
| Inconsistent templates across sites | Standardised, version‑controlled forms |
| Time‑consuming PDF creation | One‑click PDF and CSV/Excel exports |
Key Capabilities & Use Cases
- Transport & Logistics: vehicle pre‑starts, CoR load checks, fatigue checks, incident & hazard reports
- Warehousing & Cold Storage: GAMBA walk‑throughs, cleanliness, pest control, PPE audits, first aid kit checks
- Agriculture & Fisheries: vessel pre‑departure, spares logs, maintenance registers, food safety checks
- Construction & Mining: plant pre‑starts, site inductions, toolbox talks, environmental inspections

FAQs
What is a mobile forms app and how is it different to a survey tool?
A mobile forms app is purpose‑built for operational checklists (pre‑starts, inspections, incidents) with evidence capture, action tracking and audit trails. Survey tools typically collect opinions, not compliance evidence.
Can DIGI CLIP help with Chain of Responsibility (CoR)?
Yes. DIGI CLIP supports evidence‑based CoR processes (vehicle pre‑starts, load restraint checks, fatigue checks, incident reporting) with photos, signatures and geo‑time stamps. Learn more about CoR on the NHVR website.
How do action close‑outs work?
Non‑conformances trigger an action with an owner and due date in the Action Register. Actions remain open until verified closed, leaving a complete audit trail.
Do we need internet connectivity onsite?
DIGI CLIP supports offline data capture. Submit forms when the device reconnects.
Can I export data for audits?
Yes—generate branded PDFs per submission and export CSV/Excel for analysis. Audit trails include timestamps, user details and evidence attachments.
Is training required?
Minimal. Teams typically complete a short role‑based walkthrough and are ready to go. We provide quick‑start videos and help guides.
Conclusion & Next Steps
Digital checklists and evidence‑based reporting are now essential for modern operations. A mobile forms app like DIGI CLIP standardises inspections, proves compliance with photo and signature trails, and accelerates action close‑outs via the central Action Register. Monitor, review and refine your workflows with dashboards and exports—and simplify audits with confidence.
