Mobile Data Capture: Turning Smartphones into Business Tools

What is Mobile Data Capture?

Mobile data capture uses a phone or tablet to collect business information: photos, forms, signatures, barcodes, even location and send it straight into your systems in real time.

For enterprises, that means field data is in your system within minutes. It cuts out errors from retyping, lowers admin costs, and gives you live visibility of jobs, stock, and teams. It also speeds up cash flow with on‑site proofs and receipts, keeps customers better informed, and strengthens compliance with time and location stamps—all while scaling easily as your business grows.
