Paper Forms Cost You
$4,200 Per Project in Lost Time.
“We calculated the true cost of paper forms: printing, distribution, collection, scanning, filing, and retrieval. $4,200 per project. Multiplied by 15 active projects, that was $63,000 per year. On paper.”
— CFO, Regional General Contractor
The Challenge
Before POD
$4,200 per project in hidden costs
Print forms: $200. Distribute: $300. Fill out (labor): $1,800. Collect and transport: $400. Scan/digitize: $600. File and store: $500. Retrieve when needed: $400. Total: $4,200.
30% of paper forms never reach the office
Left in trucks, damaged by weather, forgotten in field trailers, or simply lost in transit. Nearly a third of your paper documentation never makes it to permanent storage.
Paper creates weeks of delay
A paper form filled out Monday in the field might reach the office Thursday. It gets scanned the following Monday. It is filed by Wednesday. Two weeks from observation to record.
Illegible entries create liability
Your foreman handwriting is not getting better with age. Illegible entries on safety forms, inspection reports, and daily logs become liabilities in audits and legal proceedings.
