Fieldwire is a good field app. Formis runs the whole job
The Fieldwire alternative for teams who want their field forms and their office record in one system. Fieldwire is quick to start and strong in the field. But the moment an RFI needs to route, get approved, and become part of the record, you're back in your inbox. Formis is built for that part, and it does field work too: daily reports, inspections, safety observations, punch items, and site photos run on the same system as your RFIs, submittals, transmittals, and approvals, so the field and the record are not in two different tools.

Does Formis do field work, or just the office side?
Formis does both. Daily field reports, inspections, safety observations and incidents, punch list items, and a project photo gallery all run today, on the same system as your RFIs, submittals, transmittals, and change orders. The field forms and the office record live together, which is the main reason teams look at Formis instead of running field and office in separate tools.
What does Fieldwire do that Formis does not?
Fieldwire leads on the drawing-centric, fully offline field experience: a native mobile app, offline access and sync, plan and sheet overlays, and drawing-pinned punch and tasks. Formis today runs field forms in the mobile browser and is online-first (full offline use is on our roadmap, not shipped). So if your priority is offline, drawing-pinned field tasking, Fieldwire is strong there. If your priority is running field forms and your office record in one connected system, that is where Formis fits.
Can Formis replace the forms we run in the field, like dailies and safety?
Yes, and you can shape them to your process. Daily reports, inspections, and safety observation and incident forms ship ready to use, and because Formis has a self-serve form builder, you can adjust them or build others (JHAs, toolbox talks, and more) from your own fields, photos, signatures, GPS, and repeating tables. They route, get acknowledged, and become part of the same record as the rest of the job.
