Case Study: Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife achieves statewide paperless mobile data collection and saves thousands of processing hours with Zerion Software

Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife - Customer Case Study

The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW), which runs the world’s largest hatchery system and manages extensive fisheries across the state, faced a cumbersome, paper-based reporting process used by 100+ facilities. Tasked with converting 60 paper forms to electronic versions within a bureaucracy‑heavy government environment, WDFW partnered with Zerion Software and adopted the iFormBuilder/iForm mobile data collection platform.

Zerion Software implemented iFormBuilder and the iForm app to digitize and standardize forms, enabling field teams to complete and submit reports in the field rather than returning paper packets to headquarters. The solution converted 60 forms (part of a 2.5‑year rollout), eliminated large volumes of paper, and saved thousands of human processing hours, fundamentally transforming WDFW’s workflows and data accuracy.
