Use Case - Automate a Business Process

Introduction

In today's fast-paced business world, efficiency and automation are key to maintaining a competitive edge. Many organizations rely on manual processes that are time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to track. Web Data Forms provides a powerful solution by enabling businesses to create customizable online forms, automate workflows, and streamline business operations—without requiring a team of developers.

What is Business Process Automation?

Business Process Automation (BPA) refers to the use of technology to automate repetitive tasks and streamline business operations. With Web Data Forms, companies can create both public and private forms to collect and manage data efficiently.

Public Forms: Can be accessed by anyone with the form link, making them ideal for customer feedback, surveys, job applications, and event registrations.

Private Forms: Restricted to authorized users, such as employees or team members, and used for internal operations like expense approvals, incident reports, and HR requests.

Key Features of Business Process Automation with Web Data Forms

1. Customizable Forms with Drag-and-Drop Builder

Create forms tailored to your business needs using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Add fields for text inputs, checkboxes, dropdowns, and more.

2. Single vs. Multi-Submission Forms

Single Submission Forms: Only has one current submission, new submissions overwrite the old submission, ideal for maintaining and refreshing a single source of data.

Multi-Submission Forms: Can have multiple submissions, each saved separately, useful for maintaining multiple sources for data.

3. Workflows

• Each form submission can:
• Have a Status set (e.g. "Received", "Pending", "Approved").
• Have a Type set (e.g. "Inquiry", "Billing", "Support").
• Be assigned to specific users.
• Have priority levels set (e.g., "High",  "Medium", "Low").
• Have free form comments.

4. Graphical Reports & Data Analysis

Businesses can generate real-time graphical reports to analyze submission data and identify trends. For example, customer feedback trends can be analyzed to help improve products and services.

Example Use Case - Customer Inquiry & Support Automation

• A business sets up a public inquiry form on its website.
• Customer inquiries are categorized based on Type ("Billing," "Support," etc.).
• Each inquiry is routed to the appropriate department based on Type.
• Support agents can assign, escalate, and resolve issues with status updates and comments.
