Imagine a working environment where you don't have to fill up forms and then forwarding it to other departments and waiting for it to be approved and returned back to you and filling it. Or your clearance or budget proposal stuck in that incoming tray of your boss and then eventually losing track of it and ends up missing after all that process. These are just some examples, there are more, but think about all of these paper-based processes all up in the cloud. No paper works, less filling storage and we save trees! 

Well that's what the leading telco Globe Telecom through IT-Enabled Services Group (IG) thought of. With the partnership with Canvas App which is a global leader in mobile apps for business, they are launching the cloud-based software service to make business related process and procedures easier and more efficient.

With the rise of mobile devices and apps, the Canvas App makes it easy for enterprise and small and medium-sized business (SMB) customers in shifting or work with the existing back end business systems or start a business process from paper forms into a dynamic app with lots of functions and features.

Here's a short video on how you can ditch paper forever.

Some notable features of Cavas are

Signature Capture. - There is no need for you to confirm a package or a sales order anymore. Just grab someone’s signature on your mobile device and that's it!

and more!

Every Canvas app is customizable and can incorporate functionality such as GPS, image capture, dispatch, barcode scanning, electronic signatures, push notifications and access to business data such as parts catalogs, price lists and patient records. Canvas eliminates paperwork, captures more information and allows collected data to be shared instantly - anytime, anywhere.
