been given the task to find a mobile app for work.
Basically we need a form builder
for our mobile engineers to enter data when are out on the field.
once they submit the date it is uploaded online somewhere and an email is sent.
anyone know of any form building apps out there?
Ideally a white label,
Im not sure what it would cost to make something like this?

Depends on the level of detail etc. I mean tey could all access a template apreadsheet and then have that sync with google drive or Dropbox. Not the sleekest but can be done for free with apps available

Cost wise. If they have 3G in the location build something in MYSQL & PHP. Shouldn't be much at all. less than 1k easy.

For something like this, a simple way to do it would be to have an HTML5 front end and s web server with a database managing the rest. The reason I say HTML5 (before the CS pedants turn up) is because that standard allows you to run the page offline as a mobile web-app. You also have local storage available in the form of a WebDatabase. This would be useful if your guys out in the field ever find themselves needing to access or update something while they have no signal.
In terms of cost, no idea. I'd be surprised if there wasn't someone out there who provided this sort of thing is the form of a service, but a quick 10 second Google didn't reveal much.

As mentioned, Web based mobile application is one of the better solutions for this especially as it'll be more accessible with being able to use it on a range of handsets rather than a few.
