Introducing DronaHQ Forms – Schema to form in seconds
Instantly generate forms directly from your existing database schemas, eliminating manual setup and reducing errors. Unlimited responses, multi-lingual UI, hyper-personalisation–transform how you collect and activate data.
As a business in today’s day and age—if you need to capture your client’s feedback, generate leads, or gauge market demand to plan your products and services—how would you go about collecting this information?
Forms. Surveys. Quizzes. Data collection forms are as vital as a stable internet connection. Are they not?
The importance of forms (or rather, data collection) can’t be overstated. Seamlessly integrating into websites, popping up at the end of a service or product experience, and always there, gathering the essential bits and bytes that fuel business decisions. But not all form builders are created equal.
Building on a legacy of innovation
For years, DronaHQ has empowered teams to create sophisticated applications with ease. Our platform has always included the capability to build forms as part of comprehensive apps—integrating seamlessly with databases, automating workflows, and enhancing collaboration.
With the launch of our dedicated Form Builder, we’re taking that capability to the next level. This tool abstracts the form-building process into a streamlined, standalone experience, allowing you to create forms more quickly and with greater control—while still benefiting from the robust features of the DronaHQ platform.
Why we built DronaHQ Forms
In a digital ecosystem brimming with generic form builders, the process of collecting and managing data can often be restrictive and inefficient. Many traditional form builders come with limitations that hinder your operations—restricted layouts, caps on the number of responses you can collect, and limited options for branding and themes. These tools often fall short when it comes to creating complex workflows, forcing you to adapt your processes to fit their constraints rather than the other way around.
Even when these tools do manage to collect data effectively, they can struggle to integrate smoothly with other systems. This often means spending extra time and resources on additional steps to ensure your data flows where it’s needed, leading to inefficiencies and potential errors.
DronaHQ’s Forms eliminates these frustrations by offering unlimited responses, extensive customization options, and seamless integration with your existing workflows. You get the freedom to design forms that truly fit your needs, without the headaches of traditional tools.
DronaHQ stands out by eliminating the need for disjointed tools and patchwork solutions.
- Integration gaps: Many form builders offer limited integration capabilities, making it difficult for businesses to connect data seamlessly with other systems. Our form builder provides deep, native integration, ensuring that data collected through forms flows directly into your operational workflows without manual intervention.
- Inflexible data handling: Traditional form builders often trap data in silos, hindering real-time data processing and analysis. DronaHQ’s solution facilitates dynamic data interactions and automates processes right from data collection, allowing for immediate actionable insights.
- Limited customization and poor UX: We recognized the need for a highly customizable form builder that does not compromise on user experience. Our platform allows for extensive customization to maintain brand consistency and ensures a seamless experience across all devices, adapting to user inputs in real time.
- Security and compliance: DronaHQ Forms is designed with top-tier security measures and compliance standards in mind, providing options for on-premise hosting (adhering to global regulations like GDPR and HIPAA). You can self-host the form builder!
