Social media offers B2B companies an opportunity to put a face to their brand, something that is difficult to achieve through traditional marketing channels such as email and advertising.

“Your social personality gives your business its human voice and face on social networks,” said Heidi Cohen, Chief Content Officer for the Actionable Marketing Guide. “Your entire organization must understand it and be able to integrate it into their social media interactions.”

Cohen highlighted three ways B2B marketers can use social media to increase demand:

• Spotlight customers to show your product in use and provide customer input as to why they chose to buy it. Think mini-case study.
• Interview employees to give your business a human face. Let your employees be the area experts. Ask them to answer every customer question. People do business with people.
• Associate with key influencers. Use interviews to provide valuable information to your audience.

“For social media, like other forms of marketing, it’s not just using a tactic but rather the quality and implement that yields success,” Cohen concluded.

If you haven’t decided yet what items will be more suitable for collecting information from your forms, here are the most useful, time-saving, and popular Nexticy element types.

In our opinion, Table object heads this list because of its calculation option. Use it mostly to create invoices or daily reports of any kind and complexity by setting basic formulas in each cell. As a result, you don’t need to work late hours anymore. You just have to implement your elementary knowledge in work with common excel tables staying on site. If you faced any problems with this process you have nice opportunity to watch our tutorial video on our website and social networks.

If you have a task to create a testing survey or a quiz you can use two types of elements: either a Checklist or a Dropdown. The first one gives you a number of visible choices where you can select one or several possible variants.

Note: single/multiple choice setting required!

On the other hand Dropdown list gives only one visible choice until the user opens the list. Any number of options can be visible at once. Clicking the Dropdown arrow button displays the full set of choices. and clicking a choice in the list selects a single item. After you add a Dropdown list to the form design you can edit the caption text and manipulate the option properties.

Now we pass to Signature object. Using intuitive tools you can place electronic signatures anywhere in .cdx files or a form with Nexticy cloud. App supports arrange of solutions for signing documents. Close deals faster with Nexticy signatures.

The most part of e-docs have to contain date and time. If you don’t want to enter these figures manually, our Date input is just what you are looking for. Determine whether you need the date, time, or both and then rest assured that the information will be accurately populated in the forms.

Now you can create your forms smarter than ever before. If you still have any questions fill free to contact our support team at any time, and we’ll be ready to assist you.

Note: you can always request a form instead a creating it by yourself.

Faithfully, Nexticy team.

Healthcare is the most important industry of Homo sapiens’ life. At the same time, it also heads the rating of time and efforts costs in the regular paper documentation. If our previous article ran that builder should be free of the paperwork, so that he could make more money on new projects. Whereas medical personnel need hands to be free to save more lives! It sounds much more humanly, don’t you agree?

Daily doctors and nurses have to fill out patients’ registration cards, medical prescriptions, notes about carrying out the treatment and the discharge from medical institution. If previously these activities required a stock of paper aimlessly stored in the archives, today we suggest you to use the mobile app on your tablet. This will not just save your precious time but also enable you to keep all your documents at your fingertips.

After providing market analytics Nexticy team has found a limited number of specialized services for the creation of medical e-docs. Using Dr Chrono you can «create custom clinical forms in minutes». The eloquent description says that the app gives the user complete templates with medical indications. At “minute” acquaintance with the service, complicated gradation of paid subscriptions with a variety of multi-level restrictions is evident. It reaches up almost to the possibility of simply installation of the app. Use only 4 clinical tools out of a long list in the description sounds quite convincing. However, you can always pay $ 279–639 to become a full-fledged user of the app.

With the help of Mediforms EMR you can fill in patient’s medical history and track each patient visit on your tablet. Significant complexity is the fact that fixed template is oriented on Gynecology. App’s developers made a promise that many other templates would be available in the paid version that had never been performed. So you should change your field of study or look for another app. It’s up to you :)

Another non-diversified app Enlive Paperless forms for Dentrix will allow dental office to completely eliminate paper processes from their workflow. At the same time specialists in chiropractic can use Patient forms for the same tasks.

But what if you’re a family doctor or a GP and your work requires to fill in forms of various sectors of medicine? More likely you want to use a single universal product.

We’ve got the solution! Nexticy cloud is a new generation form office for creation and management of medical forms of any complexity and orientation. To avoid repetition we refer you to our previous articles to get acquainted with the main features of the app. In this article we want to focus your attention on the fact that in the specialized storage of samples — formbox.net in section Medical you can easily choose the appropriate one for yourself, from standard patient intake to specialized dental health history. Using the powerful functionality of the app, you will be able to customize selected template, so it will perfectly meet your needs. For example, you want to add a logo of your clinic, its address and telephone number, to fit your created report into the framework of the usual workflow. You can also specify any number and configuration of the fields, to collect all the necessary information. Thus for the registration of a new patient is more convenient to use the Input object, while for filling the medical history is more convenient to use the Checklist object for selecting one or more of your goal. You can also create a medical invoice with an intuitive medical bill format using the built-in calculations and the Table object. Medical reports and certificates of every kind and complexity can easily be created and filled with Nexticy cloud. Our app is suitable not only for doctors who have sent their minds and hands on humans’ treatment but also for veterinarians. If you need to create a veterinarian survey or nutrition log for your work and you don’t want to spend hours creating your own — our forms are just what you are looking for.

Pleasant bonus for users is the opportunity to order a form of any complexity, which our support team will create fast, qualitatively and individually — that matters most! You can also order a personalized integration with a favorite service if it is not yet in the list of our ready-made integrations. Our team is open for any innovations to make your business more successful as well as your life easier.

Nowadays there is a multitude of services for electronic documentation in the field of construction. And sometimes it’s not a simple task to choose the appropriate one. So Nexticy team carry out the market analytics and tried to identify strong points and weaknesses of main competitors. We offer you a look at it in order to simplify your choice.

All investigated services can be classified by the type of created content:
- universal — create forms for any industry of business and life (Nexticy cloud, iForm, naturalForms Enterprise, iPEGS Form Builder);
- non-diversified — just to create construction documents (Daylies, Construction Daily Log App, Contractor paperwork Pro, Daily Progress Report Log, Contractor Estimating and Invoicing Tool, Site Diary Pro, Raken).

Let’s explore the functionality of the last group firstly.
Specialized Apps like Daylies and Raken allow a general contractor or a contractor that hires subcontractors as well as other professionals such as architects, engineers, inspectors, or any other profession where simple daily reports are required to track the activities of the day. Some of them allow you to record inspections, deliveries, and the day’s weather with the option to add a photo of progress made. Construction Daily Log includes contractor details, site information, work performed, subcontractor progress, issues and delays, additional work requests, materials purchased and received, labor and travel hours. With Contractor paperwork Pro, Contractor Estimating and Invoicing Tool, Daily Progress Report and Site Diary Pro you can create site diaries, invoices, quotes, estimates, purchase orders, meeting minutes, variations, timesheets, expense reports on your iPhone and iPad and send them instantly in PDF.

At first glance, it might seem that using solely specialized apps can bring you more benefits in the optimization of construction’s workflow. However, this view may be misleading. The main advantage of non-diversified apps is the fact that they give users preset samples of constructional reports and invoices. Often they include all the necessary parameters, specific of the field, and are ready to be filled in.
Moreover, the main advantage of universal form builders is an ability to create documents of any type using a single app.

Creating their content, you can set a list of all the fields you need and accordingly get all the important information for you.

Let’s consider these capabilities of Nexticy cloud, for example.
With this new generation forms office, you can set any configuration of fields relative to each other in a form. This allows you to estimate the entire document at a glance. You can see all the information as a whole, instead of looking for it among the hundred of fields in a typical web form.
During the creation, you can generate your own forms from scratch, or adjust the samples from formbox.net.

It is a constantly updating online storage, where you can find more than 200 ready templates.

You can also order a form that Nexticy team will design specifically for you.
You can create an unlimited number of reports a day with Nexticy cloud. In comparison, freemium version of Construction Daily Log allows you to create only 2 forms per day, that certainly limits your abilities.
Nexticy form can be filled in any web browser and does not require any additional software. Completed forms returned to you in a real time. They are duplicated by our service and kept on the servers on 3 continents. This fact reduces the possibility of loss or distortion of data almost to zero. All transmission channels are protected with SSL encryption.

For your convenience the information received from filling of your forms can be integrated to analytic systems, other services or even to your personal database. Thus, your documents are always working rather than just lying at the table.

At the same time, in our view the main purpose of using forms is collection and analytics of data obtained from daily reports. After all, we create a report not for itself, but only in order to understand the way things are going and what parameters and processes can be optimized. We can not hide that Nexticy cloud particularly excelled at this point. After the distribution of your forms the app does all the work for you! It collects the information from all fields of the form in a convenient spreadsheet, builds charts for each specified field, and provides an ability to filter data. So you just control the process by looking into your tablet from time to time.

Well, Nexticy cloud will simplify your paperwork with constructional reports and make your business more cost-effective, paperless and more successful!

Hit us up with any thoughts that you have in mind.

Faithfully, Nexticy team.

Construction is a field of human activities that requires a huge amount of daily documentation and paperwork. Therefore, a lot of time is needed for regular handwritten reports and bills. We attempt to save it in conditions of global production’s automation and optimization. To be more precise — to redirect this time to search of the additional earnings.

Now web services and mobile apps that simplify document flow and replacement of old-fashioned paperwork with modern gadgets became increasingly popular. This is not a secret that mobile devices have long become a working tool not only for the great ones of this world. Nowadays your tablet and smartphone are an integral part of work process, especially in the construction industry. They can store not only blueprints but also also record all ongoing processes directly on-site, create daily reports, invoices, estimates, and other documentation. These documents are no longer needed to be stored in your desk in such a huge stack, to be filled in manually staying in office. As far as you don’t need to go through the received data for further analitics. Now they are always right at your hand, on your device. It saves money, time, direct man-hours and space in your desk.

Do you agree with our thesis or traditional paperwork is still strong and unwavering? What kind of documentation you and your builders use?

Looking forward to your responses in comments.

• The interface has been simplified. Three main screens were replaced by one.
• The workflow of the form builder has been improved. It has become easier to create a form.
• The “Publish” button has been added. Tap it and your template will immediately become ready for use as a form and will be uploaded to your Nexticy Cloud account.

Thus, someone receiving this link will be able to fill in the form on any device and send back a response. Also, we’ve released an extra app for iPad, namely Nexticy Reader that is for filling in only.
• An option of required fields has been added.
• You receive a notification every time someone has filled in a form that you had distributed. If you tap “Responses” button in form’s context menu you’ll see a screen with a spreadsheet of responses. Each row displays information about every field from the filled out form. There are buttons with a document icon in the leftmost part of each row. Tap them to open a filled form preview. It can be printed or shared as a PDF file. This method of storing forms is very convenient and does not require a lot of you iPad memory.
• Powerful filters have been added to the Spreadsheet for refining data for analysis. Work with charts has been improved, it also can be exported as PDF file.
• An ability to share access to the formed Spreadsheet with other users for joint work with it has been invented. If recipients are Nexticy Cloud users they will get a notification about receiving access to a new form. Otherwise, they will receive an email with a link for downloading Nexticy Cloud from AppStore alongside with receiving access to the form. A form you have received access to will be marked by a special icon on “Forms” screen.
• Data from the Spreadsheet of responses can be exported as Microsoft Excel .xls file or integrated with popular services and CRM systems (Google Spreadsheets, Sales Force, Quickbooks, Evernote, Zoho CRM). We find it to be a perfect solution, as all data from fillable fields will flow right in those services and platforms you use in your work!
