Every Form. Controlled. Compliant.

How FormM – Electronic Form Management Software by goPLIMS standardises and digitises the entire form lifecycle — from pre-approved template design through to field execution, electronic signature, and central storage integrated with EDocM.

Electronic Form Management

Paper forms get lost, templates go out of date, and manually chased approvals leave audit trails full of gaps. In regulated environments, these are not just inefficiencies — they are compliance risks. FormM by goPLIMS eliminates all of that with a controlled, cloud-based platform that governs the entire form lifecycle: from designing and pre-approving templates, to automated record generation in the field, to formal multi-party review, electronic signature, and central storage in EDocM.

What is FormM?

 

FormM is a comprehensive, cloud-based electronic form management platform designed to standardise and digitise the entire form lifecycle — from design and pre-approval through to field execution, review, post-approval, and electronic signature. By ensuring that only pre-approved form templates are available for field use, automatically generating unique record numbers, and capturing executor credentials at the point of execution, FormM gives Process Owners and Project Managers complete control and traceability.

All completed records are stored centrally and integrated directly with EDocM — meaning every executed, approved form automatically becomes part of your governed document repository without any manual file management.

Form Lifecycle — End to End

Design  →  Pre-Approval  →  Field Execution  →  Review  →  Post-Approval  →  E-Signature & Archive

What You Can Do with FormM

FormM replaces paper forms, uncontrolled template versions, and manual approval chains with a single governed digital platform — giving field teams and project managers a clear, compliant process from the very first field entry.

Custom E-Form Template Design

Design and configure custom electronic form templates tailored to your specific process, compliance, and workstream requirements — with controlled versioning throughout.

Pre-Approval Before Field Release

Route form templates for formal pre-approval before releasing them for field execution — ensuring field teams always work from the latest, approved-current version.

Laptop & Tablet Execution

Execute forms online on laptop or tablet with draft-save capability — supporting incremental field completion based on real-time readiness, without losing progress.

Automatic Record Number & Credentials

Automatically generate a unique record number and capture executor initials, date, and timestamp at the point of execution — no manual logging required.

Multi-Party Review & Post-Approval

Route completed forms through structured multi-party review and post-approval workflows — with electronic signature collection from all required stakeholders in sequence.

Central Archive via EDocM

Store all final approved records centrally in an access-controlled repository, integrated directly with EDocM — maintaining a complete, searchable knowledge base for every project.

Pre-Approved Templates & Automatic Execution Tracking

FormM’s most powerful and distinctive capability is its controlled template library combined with automatic record generation — ensuring teams can only ever execute approved, current versions of forms, with full traceability built in from the very first field entry. Controlled Template Library & Auto-Tracking – three interlocking capabilities that eliminate uncontrolled forms and unverified field entries,  permanently.

Approved Templates

Only pre-approved form templates are stored in the controlled library. Field teams select from this library — ensuring no outdated or unapproved version can ever be executed.

Auto Record Generation

A unique record number is generated automatically the moment a form is selected for execution — eliminating manual registers, duplicates, and numbering errors.

Executor Credential

Executor initials, date, and timestamp are automatically captured at the point of execution — creating an immediate, verifiable identity record without any manual input.

  • Save in-progress executions as drafts, supporting incremental completion based on field readiness
  • Maintain a complete audit trail of design, pre-approval, execution, review, post-approval, and e-signature
  • All final approved records stored centrally and integrated directly with EDocM for knowledge management

No more paper forms. No outdated templates. No unverified field entries.
Every form is controlled, uniquely identified, fully executed, and completely traceable — from first field entry through to final signed closure.

Built on 3 Core Pillars

INITIATE

Design and configure custom e-forms, route templates for pre-approval, store only approved versions in a controlled library, and define access for each form and workstream.

EXECUTE

Enable field teams to select only pre-approved forms, automatically generate unique record numbers with auto-captured credentials, and save in-progress forms as drafts until all fields are verified and complete.

APPROVE

Route completed forms for multi-party review and post-approval, collect electronic signatures from all required stakeholders, and store final approved records centrally in an access-controlled repository integrated with EDocM.

Natively Integrated with EDocM

Every final approved FormM record is automatically stored in EDocM — your centralised, access-controlled document repository — creating a seamless, end-to-end paper-to-digital knowledge management workflow.
