How GoFormz Is Digitizing the Global Infrastructure Industry

Global infrastructure spending has been increasing for years, with countries and companies around the world investing heavily to modernize and expand critical systems, especially as these systems are increasingly vulnerable to natural disasters and extreme weather events. PwC stated that global infrastructure spending has increased from $4 trillion to $9 trillion per year from 2012 to 2025.

This wave of investment is touching every segment of infrastructure. With all this construction, modernization, and disaster readiness comes a pressing need for digitization. GoFormz has emerged as a key player in this transformation, helping infrastructure customers globally replace outdated paper processes with intelligent digital workflows across their organizations and with their customers and business partners.

A smarter way to build and maintain global infrastructure

For decades, infrastructure projects have relied on paper-based processes, creating bottlenecks, errors, and inefficiencies. Take a site engineer who goes out every day to inspect job sites, constantly filling out paper forms to document what they find. Sometimes forms get ruined in the weather and the site engineer has to start over on a new form. Other times, the forms get lost or forgotten on someone’s desk. At all times, they’re a bother to carry around and pass along to the many different people who need copies. All of the structured and unstructured information on those paper forms is valuable to infrastructure companies, customers, and suppliers.

GoFormz addresses these pain points by seamlessly converting any paper or PDF form into mobile-friendly digital cloud business applications. The platform stands out for its front-end simplicity and depth of enterprise capabilities. Users leverage GoFormz’ patented technology to upload existing paper forms without IT support or coding. Because the digital forms mirror familiar paper versions, training is minimal, driving high user adoption. Most importantly, field teams can submit forms accurately and quickly online or safely offline in harsh environments or with limited bandwidth. Managers leverage the workflow capabilities to route forms in GoFormz and to integrate with other business applications, while business people have access to the structured and unstructured data needed to do analysis and improve their operations.

This focus on intuitive, self-service functionality makes GoFormz a prime example of a product-led growth (PLG) with Sales company, where the product itself drives customer acquisition and sales teams help customers to make use of more functionality and to plan for expansion to more people, teams, divisions and countries. Companies operating under the PLG with Sales model can attract global customers and are generally more capital efficient than cloud business application companies that have sales-led business models. GoFormz has raised $20M in venture capital to reach global scale. There is more information on PLG with Sales available here.

End-to-end enterprise solution that customers love

GoFormz stands alone in delivering a complete end-to-end solution that competitors simply can’t match. The platform captures every type of field data imaginable, and everything from routing to approvals and analysis becomes automated — all protected by enterprise-grade security capabilities.

GoFormz runs on Microsoft’s powerful Azure cloud platform, which means it can handle any size operation while keeping data secure and accessible at speed worldwide. This strong technical foundation allows the company to continuously improve the product faster than its competitors, including incorporating the latest AI innovations while maintaining the reliability customers count on. Azure has data centers around the world, which lets GoFormz serve the world’s infrastructure companies, their customers, and suppliers.

The ease of use, deep functionality, product velocity, and global scalability has helped the company earn top marks in independent user reviews on G2, the world’s leading business applications marketplace.
