When construction companies start digitizing their safety workflows, incident reports are one of the first forms they want to bring online. They’re time-sensitive, compliance-critical, and often riddled with delays when done on paper. That’s why many contractors are choosing Corfix as their digital reporting solution.
This post breaks down what to look for in a reporting tool—and why Corfix outperforms other apps or retrofit office software when it comes to safety documentation.
What to Look for in a Digital Incident Reporting Tool
Not all safety tools are built with construction workflows in mind. If you’re evaluating software, make sure it checks the boxes that matter most for jobsite reporting.
A good digital incident reporting solution should be:
- Mobile-friendly: Workers need to submit reports from phones or tablets on the jobsite.
- Customizable: Every company’s safety process is different. Your forms should reflect that.
- User-friendly: Field crews won’t use tools that feel clunky or time-consuming.
- Offline-capable: Remote sites can’t always rely on cell service.
- Secure: Data should be encrypted and backed up in the cloud.
- Complete: Required fields help prevent missing or vague details.
- Visual: Upload photos, markups, and even signatures on-site.
- Searchable: Office staff should be able to find and filter past reports easily.
