Swarm is an automated solution for smart data-collection, integration, and analysis through digital forms. Its connectors safely integrate data into your existing enterprise systems without exposing it to external threats. To maximize your efficiency, you can personalize the data collection according to your business needs. This is done through easy-to-customize templates and various input types.
You have the chance to adapt the format to your needs by choosing from a variety of form fields. The diversity of input types enables you to get the expected data in a best-structured way.
Furthermore, you can configure conditions and set up automation parameters so that respondents only interact with the questions that are relevant to them.
Empower collaboration between internal and external employees with different roles and gather data in end-to-end workflows. Workflows act like complex forms with sections editable according to expertise and responsibilities.
Workflows let you collect data on complex business processes, such as repairing damaged equipment, from reporting the damage to having it repaired by an external contractor.
Campaigns are the best way to distribute forms to your audience. You manage the time frame from start date to end date, define project recurrence, and set email notifications and reminders. You can also distribute forms via shareable links and ad hoc campaigns and QR Codes when time is short.
Get data exactly where it's needed with connectors to SAP, Salesforce, Microsoft, IFS and other systems. Data that comes from multiple sources is difficult to plug directly into your company's core systems. Therefore, BearingPoint Swarm enables all stakeholders who have valuable information to share their knowledge and contribute to your company's collective intelligence.
The connection works both ways. You can use the data from your systems to prefill some information from the forms to ensure that there are fewer errors and respondents complete the form more effectively.
The Analytics area within Swarm is automatically generated based on form input types and includes a variety of charts, ranging from bar graphs to advanced spider charts, benchmarking, or score calculations. Reports are generated for both individual responses and aggregated results to derive actions from the collected insights.
You can also export these reports for further analysis or send them directly to other data analytics platforms such as SAP Analytics Cloud via our connectors.
BearingPoint Swarm has a wide variety of advanced input types to make sure you collect the data you need in the structure most fit for transforming and analyzing.
The locator components in Swarm allow for high accuracy pin positioning. Here is how they work:
This component can be included in both forms and workflows to add pins with fully customizable states. The Indoor Locator can be set to cover multiple floors and areas. Having the use case of reporting issues inside a building, the employees can add pins on multiple floors. The service technicians can afterward directly see the pined image and understand the situation perfectly.
This feature adds a new dimension to the positioning of pins and allows users to locate issues or points of interest in a much wider area. At the same time, it enables the respondents to add pins exactly where they are with a single tap and provide more insights into the situation.
Our Swarm Equipment Locator helps your employees pinpoint the exact location of an issue on different equipment types. Using a system of dropdowns you can choose between different views of the tool or vehicle or even different perspectives of components from various angles. The pins with status reports address different action types needed such as repair, replace or further research.
This unique feature takes interactivity even one step further. It enables you to navigate to the exact location on a complete 3D view and signals various events within the room. Use the 3D plans of your buildings. DXF format is a valuable tool for maintenance work or for reporting any type of issue. Covering use cases like damaged equipment, requests for assistance, or reserving spaces, the 3D locator is easy to integrate and to use for navigation.
