GoCanvas

What GoCanvas is

GoCanvas is a field operations platform for teams that need to collect and manage information from work in the field. Its drag-and-drop form builder, conditional logic, approval workflows, and low-code and no-code automation help teams shape how information is gathered and handled. Role-based access controls support different access within a team. Staff can enter data on Android and iOS devices online or offline, then create PDF reports and submissions. Custom dashboards display measures such as crew productivity, job costing, and performance trends.

GoCanvas connects with over 1,000 tools, including QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Jira, Google Sheets, Dropbox, Google Drive, Salesforce, Autodesk, SharePoint, and SAP. Its API can support custom integrations, submission of data, retrieval of submissions, and user management. GoCanvas reports SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, encryption at rest, and TLS 1.2 or greater for communications. Customers can enable account-level HIPAA controls, including idle timeouts and limits on saving passwords to devices.

The platform is aimed at operations-heavy teams in construction, manufacturing, field services, and transportation. It is available on Android, iOS, web, and Windows, and through an API. Paid plans start at $29/user/mo (annual), with a three-user minimum and annual billing. A free trial begins after a setup call with a product specialist.
