What is Data Capture?

Data capture refers to the process of collecting and recording information from different sources — like forms, surveys, documents, or devices — so it can be stored, analyzed, or used in workflows.

Why Data Capture matters to your business

Without accurate data capture, your automations, reports, and decisions are built on incomplete or faulty information. Good capture practices help you work smarter, not harder.

Real-world example

A security company uses mobile forms to capture audit data on-site, including images and comments, which are then uploaded and processed automatically.
