Digital forms have several benefits for your business such as reducing cost and time. They are also kinder to the planet as the reduction in paper and travel improves your carbon footprint. 

Turning a single tree into 17 reams of paper results in around 49.9kg of C02 being released into the atmosphere. So by turning your paper forms digital you will automatically reduce your Co2. In addition, by not having to drive your paper forms back to your HQ you will also save on further Co2 emissions from travel. Focus on a sustainable future in your business and switch to a process gentler to our planet. The amount of paper produced each year is vast so going paperless is a must.
