Offline App for mobile data acquisition and mobile forms for operations in field service

Use the full functionality of the HybridForms Offline App with seamless switching between offline and online mode and automatic data synchronization.

HybridForms Offline App

Your employees are on the road in the field, without internet access? Or are in rough terrain, in a tunnel or a shielded building? Or work in a high security area where no network access is allowed? No problem, because the mobile HybridForms App has a robust offline function. This allows you to continue working on site without interruption, capture data and fill out forms – regardless of whether you have a mobile network or not.

Our offline-capable App ensures that you and your team can continue to work reliably even if you have a poor or no Internet connection. You won’t notice any difference and can use the full functionality of the mobile client app.

With the HybridForms App, unexpected or difficult circumstances such as weak cell phone network or unstable/absent internet are not a problem – you always have full functionality even when offline.

Continue to work without interruption even without Internet access – with the offline-capable HybridForms App for seamless documentation on site.

Offline documentation with reliable enterprise functions

Create, edit, complete new forms – everything is still possible, including enterprise functions such as taking photos with the internal camera, annotating images, creating sketches or automatic calculations of form fields. You can also have customers sign the form on the tablet by themselves or you can sign it yourself. Only services that require an upright Internet connection (such as live queries of data catalogs on the server or the connection to online maps) are only available with restrictions or not at all. All mobile data is stored locally on your device.

Seamless switching between offline and online mode with automatic matching of data

All mobile data is temporarily stored locally on your device. As soon as you are back online, all data is automatically and securely synchronized with the central data platform. A horizontal bar in the app’s header always shows the current sync status:

Offline mode

HybridForms: Offline status – all data is synched

Offline status: All data are synchronized

Offline status: Not all data are synchronized yet

Forrester Research: The Offline Mobile Challenge

»… offline support will be a crucial consideration for nearly every future modern application. Unfortunately, our experience shows that offline support is the mobile app feature continually underscoped by developers and over-simplified by stakeholders. This report dives into the nuances of offline, its varying flavors, and why it’s often the most expensive (and valuable) infrastructure service mobile dev teams will implement.« (Source: Forrester Research ↗)

Mobile, offline and still productive – important requirements for many application scenarios

It does not always have to be missions in the most difficult conditions (such as in deep ducts or tunnels) where no mobile network is available. There are still many places where stable Internet reception is only available to a limited extent, but employees and teams still have to document and log their work assignments. And therefore many industries benefit from the tried-and-tested functions of our HybridForms Offline App for mobile data capture – such as in critical infrastructure/CRITIS (energy supply, emergency organizations, healthcare, …), structural and civil engineering, facility management or manufacturing.

Offline App in daily operation at ASFINAG

ASFINAG (Autobahnen- und Schnellstraßen-Finanzierungs-Aktiengesellschaft), for example, uses the HybridForms App to regularly check road bridges, tunnels and signposts on Austrian highways and expressways. The checklists are pre-filled with data from the internal Infrastructure Management Tool, including the results of the last inspection. This means that the employees on site always have all relevant information on the respective objects with them – even if they are currently working with their tablets in offline mode.
