Case Study: Fort Lee, NJ achieves fast, compliant daily COVID self-assessments for employees with GovOS

How Fort Lee Used Kofile To Build Online COVID Self-Assessment Forms

Fort Lee, NJ partnered with Kofile (SeamlessDocs) using GovOS Studio to digitize daily COVID-19 self-assessments for its roughly 400 employees to meet the requirements of New Jersey Executive Order 192. Facing a tight deadline and the need to reduce foot traffic, maintain confidentiality, and avoid the administrative burden of paper checks, the borough needed a fast, user-friendly solution that ensured consistent daily screening and clear escalation for potential cases.

They launched customizable online forms that employees complete before arriving on site — with department dropdowns, conditional logic to flag higher-risk responses, and separate flows for large units like police. Submissions route directly to supervisors and are logged for reporting; the form takes about 20 seconds to complete and has generated over 1,800 submissions since launch. The digital process cut foot traffic, simplified management, and proved easy for nontechnical staff to maintain and expand.
