Digitization takes the processes which generate that paper – approval requests, forms, checklists, etc. – and make them digital for greater efficiency, accuracy and security. ## **What Is SOTI Snap?** SOTI Snap enables organizations to rapidly build mobile apps to replace paper-based processes. It digitizes data collection and approval processes to make them fast and efficient. Save money and time, as paper is expensive and slow.

Turn those devices into data-capturing and process-initiating tools to boost productivity and efficiency. Here’s how: - **[Easy to Use AI](https://soti.net/resources/blog/2024/you-draw-it-and-the-soti-snap-ai-form-builder-makes-it/)**:** Sketch a form on paper or take an existing PDF form and upload it to SOTI Snap. SOTI Snap “reads” the documents and quickly gives you a digital version. You can also type in your request via a built-in prompt field and get your form almost instantly. - **[Faster Approvals](https://soti.net/resources/blog/2023/three-reasons-to-use-a-workflow-management-solution-soti-snap/)**:** Eliminate the bottlenecks associated with approval delays. Automate processes to keep business operations moving with near real-time visibility into the status of an approval-based request. - **Cross-Platform Development:** You probably have Android and iOS devices throughout your operations. With SOTI Snap, digitize processes once and deploy them to all your devices without any customization – much better than spending [$100,000 (USD)](http://soti.nethttps//www.thedroidsonroids.com/blog/mobile-app-development-cost#:~:text=if%20you’re%20going%20to%20develop%20a%20mobile%20app%20for%202%20platforms%20%28android%20and%20ios%29%2C%20you%20need%20to%20have%20an%20app%20development%20budget%20closer%20to%20%24100%2C000%20as%20opposed%20to%20%2410%2C000.) on cross-platform digitization. - **Rich Media Capturing:** You can’t capture a video or audio recording on paper.
