Fluix

Avantages

We use Fluix to fill out safe reports and inspection forms. Very happy with its capabilities, especially about data capture and analysis. The app is very easy to use, and I had positive feedback from many techs who previous couldn't even think about using any kind of software. Their customer support is stunning, and we managed to transfer all of our processes into electronic form within a month.

Inconvénients

Fluix is currently available on iOS. There is a web app, but it's more for office use rather than for Android tablets which we initially leaning towards. The app has off-line mode, so techs can fill out all the forms in remote locations, but syncing all of them to the system still needs Internet, especially if many pictures are attached.

Avantages

The software is really easy to use. If you have basic knowledge on pdf forms and how to design one, then this software has a huge potential to minimizing paper use and maximizing your ability to collect data. It provides a lot of valuable information and can be used in many different ways.

Inconvénients

There are no cons at the moment that we can think of.

Pourquoi passer à Fluix

Avantages

Document management and sharing. Ease of uploading documents.

Inconvénients

That admin users using a desktop version of Fluix cannot see/view jpeg/word documents. However, the documents will appear when using the app. I am the administrator and I use the desktop/web version and can see/upload the documents. Most of our users will be use a computer to access Fluix so documents have to be converted to pdf which is time consuming.

Avantages

Great for data collection, storage and customer integration. Perfect for Quality Assurance and Safety Compliance. Ease of use once set up extends to even the most basic of IT knowledge. Customer Support is absolutely top knotch.

Inconvénients

Without support and/or a high level of IT knowledge with coding and spreadsheets, it is very difficult to set up fillable forms using existing pdfs. In depth application training or learning videos would be very beneficial so as to avoid reliance on support from the customer's perspective.

Pourquoi passer à Fluix

Avantages

It is very easy to set up user groups consisting of all kinds of emails, and an approval workflow for PDF files. The files can then be emailed, sent to many different types of file locations, and also extracted.

Inconvénients

Some minor interface changes to the worse have been made and haven't been changed back. Example: when new interface was implemented it was no longer possible so see the number of selected files to be pushed to a group inbox BEFORE pressing Push. Instead you have to wait for sometimes minutes if you are pushing many files, and then you get a receipt with the number of files that WERE pushed. If you have selected the wrong number by mistake it can be awkward to locate the recently pushed files to delete them.

Avantages

The ease of use on phones and iPads for the field and the ability to see and make changes instantly. Our clients love the neat reports and our safety and quality programs run like a dream because of Fluix. The learning curve could be steep and Fluix will call you and walk you through everything you need to know. The reporting capabilities that I'm currently learning about are outstanding! For service and construction companies you can't beat this - your clients will be thrilled!

Inconvénients

Getting used to creating forms in Adobe Pro. Once I learned the system though, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Avantages

Fluix offers a very simple to use platform which all team members can quickly embrace. In addition to its ease of use Fluix provides the ability to automate and control all of the workflow requirements on large scale projects, especially when relating to quality documents associated to inspection and testing activities.
Because of the streamlined workflow and ubiquitous staff acceptance two of my recent major projects had no lost paperwork or payment delays attributed to Quality Documentation.

Inconvénients

The only challenge I currently face with Fluix is its vulnerability to the file structure in the cloud storage. Once the workflows are set, should a team member change a file/folder name in the cloud then the workflow is broken and unavailable to field staff.

Avantages

Everything about Fluix has been great- from the customer service to the interface with Adobe. Using Fluix our technicians are able to have customers sign their documents in the field with out having to carry around paper contracts that may become illegible due to travel. We can then upload those signed documents directly to our customer's account and easily access those documents- whether in the field or in the office. Fluix is changing how we do business- for the better!

Inconvénients

There are few cons to our using the Fluix software, however, one such con would be the drawing tool when using it for drawing graphs or other images for our documents. While it is a great feature, it could be improved upon greatly- currently there are several issues with keeping lines the same length also having to click or tap a choice multiple times instead of it staying on that choice until you choose otherwise.

Avantages

We have transferred over from paper documentation to 100% paperless throughout our company, with the help of Fluix. It's user friendly, and helps keep all documentation organized and in one place. It allows us to create templates to be used by different users for easy access, and copies to be send to our clientele with a touch of a button. Fluix has definitely improved our quality of work and ease of getting the job done.

Inconvénients

The only downside is it is not storage comparable, so you have to download the documents to be stored on a different problem, as they on save for a short period of time, and it is not a long term storage solution.

Avantages

It is very powerfull of assistance of technicians on location with only a ipad. It is capable of handling a lot of information. It is handling the complete work to be done.document viewing is easy in fluix

Inconvénients

It is a strong as the persons who set it up. You have to carefull not to put double info in the system. Is needs a good folder structure.

Avantages

The software can run on both an iPad and on a browser in Windows or Mac. The ability to send documents for signature to clients is very high end and gives us everything we need to get documents signed remotely.

Inconvénients

The best thing is that the things I liked least... I contacted customer service and they gave us the ability to do those things! Customer service is extremely responsive.

Avantages

From the beginning i have received exceptional customer support. They are quick to respond, highly knowledgeable and willing to help with any question. As a admin, i have access to many controls which i use to remotely modify accounts or reset password for those employees who are unable to confidently navigate their settings. The dashboard displays user activity and device information, which helps find inactive users and the least used forms, all in a very easy to user interface. The work flows i have created have saved countless hours of emails, phone calls, and file management. In return it helps make our field more productive and gives them the confidence to easily fill forms and just press submit. The work flows do all the work!

Inconvénients

There is not much to be said here. Fluix serves its purpose without limiting you on the amount of control you have.

Avantages

Fluix is the best software for electronic signing. It's friendly to use and to manage. Its best feature is that it allows administrators to send documents through different platforms - i.e. tablets, smartphones, and computers.

Inconvénients

The only thing that the software could improve is its functionality in other operating systems. For now, I can only use it with iOS platforms, but I would like to be able to use it with gadgets that support Android as well.

Avantages

I like how we can synchronize folders and how we can configure the workflow to give the right access to the right people so they get all the document they need and don´t have too much document to get confused.
It is a really good tool

Inconvénients

Our internal politics to synchronize sharepoint webpage with FLUIX. Nobody has access to do it and it is hard to find someone who can help.

But it is an internal issue

Avantages

The app is user friendly, self explanatory, and easy to navigate. The mobility of the app used on an iPad has changed our operations exponentially. Procedures, and checklists are updated in real time and shared with all stockholders instantly.

Inconvénients

Limited only to PDF format. I would love to see the app integrated with apps like OneNote and Excel, combining the complexity of Excel with the ease of PDF.

Avantages

- You can get more done than you would if you were using paper invoices.
- You can read every invoice.
- You are able to expedite instantly your customers expectations.
- Fast & Easy

Inconvénients

I don't really have any complaints about this product. If we have an issue we get a hold of FLUIX and they make make program changes to accommodate us.

Avantages

Work flow and documentation. Work flow makes day to day operations easier

Inconvénients

Setup of work flow could be easier, also hope it wish to integrate formulas, for example automatically calculate flight hours, total number of passengers adding male, female and children etc…

Avantages

Fluix is ​​really a great product. It has perfectly improved my daily workflow. The ease of access to documents is great. Documents from different people work without problems. The product is very intuitive. The ultimate simple to use and setup. In addition, customer support is right next to you whenever you need it.

Inconvénients

My experiences have always been positive. I can't give bad comments.

Avantages

The easy way in which documents are filled in, shared etc.

Inconvénients

Nothing really, everything seems to be fullfilling my needs at the moment

Avantages

The level of customization with forms is endless

Inconvénients

sometimes the workflow managment is limitative

Avantages

Able to attach pages of pictures to offer a strong visual aide to help tell the story of what I encountered on site. This helps not only to better explain to management what was done or what is needed. It's an excellent tool to use when justifying the costs associated with the work performed to the customer

Inconvénients

Lack of timestamps. Seems like software is regularly 1 or 2 updates behind where it should be. Example. I cannot update my phone to the latest OS without something crashing regularly. This creates a situation where I cannot run the latest and greatest from Apple for fear of the app not running.

Avantages

Fluix is a near flawless application that I use on a daily basis to upload, share, and review documents.

Inconvénients

Hyperlinks in documents and search features and occasionally difficult to navigate.

Avantages

Ease of use for technicians in the field to have correct, updated documentation. Checklists with photos can then be filled in by technicians and be sent off for multiple layer approval.

Inconvénients

Photos embedded in checklists are garbage when trying to review, please let me know if and when you can update this so we can have a link to the RAW photos and or have a way to access the RAW photos that are not compressed.

Avantages

Pretty user friendly, helps my customers fill out forms and collect digital signatures.

Inconvénients

We implemented the form builder for customers to add signature and date fields to existing PDF documents. Unfortunately we were told the date fields could not be set to be mm/dd/yyyy. It defaults to dd/mm/yyyy. Users have to remember to change this manually.

Avantages

ease of use, customizable to your companies needs and there isn't a need for expensive software

Inconvénients

We have had a very few issues where "weird" things happen and although the support team is always helpful in fixing and explaining, I struggle to understand why it happened
