What field teams say

Feedback from early adopters in civil and construction.

“We built a docket flow in an afternoon and had the crew using it next day. Zero training.”
Operations Manager, NZ civil contractor
“The Workbench mapping means our cost codes are always right. Rework dropped off a cliff.”
Project Accountant, infrastructure
“Voice entry is perfect in gloves. The lads actually log hours on time now.”
Site Supervisor, roading

Frequently asked

How does pricing work?

Simple per‑user pricing with volume tiers for crews. Talk to us and we’ll size it to your team.

Do we need Workbench to use Formlay?

No. Formlay works standalone. If you run Workbench Job Costing, the native integration saves time and prevents coding errors.

Is there offline support?

Yes. Field capture works without coverage and syncs when back online. Conflicts are flagged for review.

Can we enforce our cost codes and validations?

Absolutely. Lock lookups to your Jobs/Activities lists, add conditional rules, and block submission until valid.
