Take advantage of the efficiencies of your single source of truth. Increase the value received from Asite by achieving higher levels of collaboration throughout the construction supply chain. Give all stakeholders an advantage by allowing them mobile access to 3D models for as-built comparison and validation. Drive Quality and Safety standards across your sites by mobilising your Quality plans.  Key Features  Site Task Management  Project teams can easily create, view, assign and respond to digital forms directly from their mobile phone or tablet. These are linked to Asite’s powerful web platform to maintain a single source of truth. Users can attach media to tasks, including photos, videos and comments to allow for accurate record keeping. QR codes streamline workflows to find locations and raise Forms more efficiently.  Offline availability Take a whole or part-project offline, depending on the device storage capability. This will give true mobility where you don’t need to be concerned about the availability of mobile data. Site Tasks and Location-based Forms can be taken offline by Location if your project is too large to take the whole thing offline.  Online availability  Many construction mobile solutions only allow you to work with your Projects after you have downloaded your project data via a lengthy initial download sync. For some large projects this isn’t an option, or if you work on multiple sites. Asite Field allows you access to any of your projects online provided you have mobile data.  Integration  Site Tasks and Location-based mobile Forms are first-class citizens of the Asite ecosystem by design. Forms raised and processed on mobile devices are as accessible and secure within the CDE environment as any other CDE-controlled documents, giving you data ‘peace of mind’.  Mobile BIM  Mobilise the Models within your CDE. The mobile app can measure, slice and intuitively navigate around your 3D models, allowing constructions professionals to use the model out on site for validation and as-built comparisons. True mobilisation is enabled by our innovative technology which enables you to take individual floors of a model offline (UK & US only), giving you flexibility even with large models.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Asite Field at none against Autodesk Forma's 5. Asite Field also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Autodesk Forma's advantage is ratings volume (22K vs 1) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
