At Deadline Solutions, we have created just such a system: *eForms*, the *Electronic Process Logbook*, *Forms*, and *Work Instruction* system. More than a logbook system though, it is an information-gathering tool that can take your critical thinking staff and make them instantly more productive. #### *eForms does for information gathering what tools like excel did for information analysis for the workforce masses.* *[![Schedule Eforms Demo](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4204583/714c5daf-f7c0-4113-9327-0d79c66d5771.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4204583/714c5daf-f7c0-4113-9327-0d79c66d5771)* ## With *e*Forms Access to Information is Key We see it every day. The access to information is the key to businesses making informed decisions about their manufacturing processes and employee workflows. Often, only companies with deep operating budgets can afford to purchase information systems that may or may not have an electronic logbook. They must also employ IT professionals to both help and empower these operations. Discover ***e*Forms** an** Electronic Logbook** by Deadline Solutions, Inc. We developed it as a new type of enterprise application for corporations and Small Businesses alike. ## Data Gathering in Business Before *e*Forms Here's a typical scenario how data gathering works in business today. Say we are using [Agile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development) to develop a brand-new system or update an existing one:[![before eForms logbook -Agile-Feature-Cycle](https://www.deadlinesolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blog-images/EPL-Agile-Feature-Cycle%5B1%5D.jpg?width=420&name=EPL-Agile-Feature-Cycle%5B1%5D.jpg "before eForms logbook -Agile-Feature-Cycle")](https://www.deadlinesolutions.com/hubfs/blog-images/EPL-Agile-Feature-Cycle%5B1%5D.jpg) 1. **Operations personnel** come up with a plan to get information from the shop floor so that they can perform an analysis. 2. They typically engage site **IT** or outside IT for help in putting the data gather requirements 3. IT then proposes a solution of either i**n-house Enterprise solutions** (if the work process is lucky enough to exist already) or a custom software solution. 4. This process of requirements, database design, schema approvals, goes on and on... 5. Create the database, get it installed somewhere, change the database, this goes on and on and on. 6. Finally, weeks or months later the company rolls out an information system and everyone hopes that the tool will be used and engaged by the plant floor personnel. 7. This process can be expensive, as well as time consuming. ## The Typical *e*Forms Data Gathering Rollout Now let’s look at a typical eForms data gathering rollout:[![EPL-Feature-Cycle[1].jpg](https://www.deadlinesolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blog-images/EPL-Feature-Cycle%5B1%5D.jpg?width=420&name=EPL-Feature-Cycle%5B1%5D.jpg "EPL-Feature-Cycle[1].jpg")](https://www.deadlinesolutions.com/hubfs/blog-images/EPL-Feature-Cycle%5B1%5D.jpg) 1. **Operations personnel** come up with a plan to get information from the shop floor so that they can perform an analysis. 2. **Operations personnel** using eForms, create a ‘Form’ using the form builder within eForms. **No programming is necessary.** If you can point and click a mouse, you can create groups and fields on your new form. 3. **Assign the Form** to the area of the plant you need operations personnel to access it from, give it a quick test and examine the log entry. 4. **Inform the users** that the entry form is there. 5. That’s it! Your users are now creating immutable, unchangeable data entry! No programmers or IT personnel required! We take [Web data entry forms](https://www.deadlinesolutions.com/eforms-paperless-logbook-and-forms-ledger) and shrink the time from concept to roll-out by many factors.
