How do you choose which construction paperwork to digitize first?

In 2015, McKinsey & Company identified construction as one of the least digitized industries. Digitization can be daunting for companies, and it can be difficult to know where to start. According to blog.devicemagic.com, businesses should first focus on transforming paper forms into digital assets.

Nearly every important process and workflow has forms crucial to getting work done, so it can be worth it to find ways to make the forms more efficient. The following steps can help you find paper forms suitable for digitization:

  • Search your company’s intranet for Word documents you are meant to print, fill in and deliver to someone else. PDF forms that you are expected to print and send to someone else at your company also can apply.
  • Write a list of documents you have scanned. Every time you scan a form to email it to someone else, you have found a paper form that should become digital.
  • Brainstorm a list of forms requested by other departments. Ask finance, human resources and operations about the forms they ask you to complete.

Once you decide which forms you want to digitize, you can view a step-by-step process for digitization.
