Field Forms That Feed the Record, Not a Filing Cabinet
Inspections, checklists, JHAs, and delivery logs still live on paper and PDFs that die in a folder. A mobile-first smart-forms builder on Fintra would let you build the forms your crews fill on a phone, so the answers become part of the governed job record.

The forms your trade actually runs on
Every contractor has a stack of forms unique to their trade: a daily safety checklist, an equipment inspection, a job-hazard analysis, a delivery receipt, a punch-list walk. On paper or a generic PDF, the answers are trapped, unsearchable, and disconnected from the job. A mobile-first smart-forms builder on Fintra would let you build those forms once and have crews fill them on a phone, so the data flows into the same governed record as the daily log and the pay application.
What smart field forms would do
- Build custom mobile forms with a drag-and-drop builder
- Capture photos, signatures, and coded fields in the field
- Route inspections, JHAs, checklists, and delivery logs to the job record
- Assign and close punch-list items from the form
- Feed the governed, searchable record instead of a filing cabinet
Forms on the same governed record as the money
Smart forms would land in the same tamper-evident job record that the ambient daily log and the pay application already use. A signed safety form or inspection would be sealed the same way, so it stands up as evidence in a dispute or a review. Coded quantities from a delivery or production form could feed job cost, tying field data to the money on one record instead of a separate forms app you export from.
Where this is today
Frequently asked questions
What are smart field forms?
They are mobile-first, custom-built forms - inspections, checklists, JHAs, delivery logs, punch lists - that crews fill on a phone so the answers become structured, searchable data on the governed job record instead of paper or a disconnected PDF.
Does Fintra have a form builder today?
No. A general-purpose mobile smart-forms builder and library are on the roadmap. What is live is the governed job record and the ambient field scribe that already signs and seals daily logs, RFIs, and safety reports.
How would smart forms differ from PDFs?
A filled smart form becomes structured, coded, searchable data on the job record rather than a trapped document, so a JHA or inspection is queryable evidence and can feed job cost, not a page in a binder.
Would form answers be governed?
The design lands forms in the same tamper-evident job record the daily log uses, so a signed safety form or inspection is sealed as evidence that holds up in a dispute or a review.
