Clear Water Products was facing issues with lack of real-time data and inefficient reporting processes that involved sending text messages and managers spending hours compiling reports manually. They implemented the GoCanvas mobile platform to streamline data collection with features like drop-down lists, geo-tagging, and required fields. This eliminated group texts and phone calls, allowing all job site data to be instantly captured and sent to customers, supervisors, and the office. It reduced reporting time by 87.5% and saved over 200 hours of reporting time annually, providing a return on investment.

The Strategy
Streamlining Data Collection
Clear Water Products engineer Jay Ziesler connected with a GoCanvas
Senior Mobile Application Consultant through Verizon to build a more
efficient platform, including:
• Drop down lists to pre-populate information about chemical
compounds
• Geo-tagging job locations to verify job report locations
• Emailing customer-facing PDF reports for real-time reporting
• Required fields to ensure critical job data is captured
With the GoCanvas platform, Clear Water Products has been able to
create a system that allows them to streamline their channels of
communication. No longer are there group texts or unnecessary phone
calls. Today, every-thing is captured on the jobsite and instantly sent to
the customer, site supervisor, and office for processing.
“I don’t have to go through 30 messages to look for
something important” Jay explained, “the reports I need
come straight to me.”
The Results
Proper Communication
Since implementing the GoCanvas platform over 14 months ago, Clear
Water Products has been able to eliminate all primary communications
via text message. By using GoCanvas mobile forms, Clear Water has be
able to imple-ment proper naming conventions for their chemicals
compounds with the use of drop down lists. This has made reporting 87.5%
quicker and more accurate.
Greater Insight
With the adoption of the GoCanvas platform, both supervisors and
customers have better access to information on the daily basis. Today,
customers receive a PDF report detailing that day’s work on their project.
This helps better connect Clear Water’s customer with their project, and
increase customer retention. Overall project reporting time, 80 minutes
to 10 minutes, has decreased by 87.5%.
