GoCanvas

GoCanvas is a mobile-first field data collection and workflow automation platform that replaces paper forms with digital mobile forms, inspections, checklists, and reports.

Acquired by Nemetschek Group in 2024 for approximately $770 million, GoCanvas enables field crews to capture photos, GPS data, e-signatures, and barcodes offline with automatic cloud sync, then route data to back-office systems via native integrations with QuickBooks, Salesforce, SAP, and Zapier.
