A mobile forms app lets teams complete checklists, inspections and reports on a phone or tablet instead of paper. Answers, photos and signatures are captured in the field and sent to a central system, where issues can be assigned, tracked and reported on.
Mobile Forms App Explainer Video: How DIGI CLIP Works
Watch the short explainer video for an overview of DIGI CLIP, then read on for how a mobile forms app works day to day, what it replaces, and how to get started. Inspections. Actions. Evidence.
Key points
- Checks are completed on a phone or tablet, with photos and signatures.
- Each form is time-stamped and location-stamped.
- Failed items become actions that are tracked to close-out.
- Forms can be completed without coverage and submitted with a tap once back online.
- Records and dashboards live in one place, ready for audits and reviews.
How a mobile forms app works
| Stage | What happens in DIGI CLIP |
|---|---|
| Complete | A worker opens the form on the iOS or Android app, answers each item, adds photos and signs off. |
| Submit | The form is submitted with its time and location stamp. Without coverage, it is saved to the Offline Folder and submitted with a tap once back online. |
| Act | A “No”, “Not OK” or “At Risk” answer creates an action in the Action Log, assigned to the right person. |
| Close out | The action is fixed and closed out with evidence, using one-step or two-step close-out. Overdue actions trigger escalation emails. |
| Report | Dashboards show completed checks and open actions, and records export to PDF, Excel and CSV. |
What it replaces
- Paper checklists and books that go missing or arrive days late.
- Photos in personal camera rolls that never reach the person who needs them.
- Spreadsheets used to chase defects and hazards.
- Filing cabinets searched by hand when an auditor or client asks for records.

Illustrative scenario: from paper book to phone
A small freight operator watches the explainer video and trials DIGI CLIP with its truck pre-starts. In the first week, a driver records a cracked mirror with a photo. The answer creates an action for the workshop, the mirror is replaced that afternoon, and the action is closed out with a photo, all visible to the operations manager without a phone call.
This scenario is illustrative. It shows how a business could use DIGI CLIP and is not an account of a specific customer.
