A new year always brings a mix of excitement and reflection, and 2026 is no exception. As the NestForms field service management platform continues to grow, we’ve seen more teams, more industries, and more creative use cases than ever before.
Whether you joined us recently or have been with us for years, your support has shaped the direction of the platform and encouraged us to keep refining what we do.
Last year wasn’t just busy, it was productive in all the right ways. Our team focused heavily on stability, smoother workflows and better tools for both administrators and field users. These improvements came directly from the feedback and real-life challenges you shared with us, and they continue to influence the roadmap ahead.

As we look forward, the goal remains the same: to help you collect information quickly, securely, and without friction. The NestForms GPS survey app platform has always been about removing barriers so that teams can focus on meaningful work rather than admin. With more companies shifting to mobile-first reporting, our commitment to reliability and ease of use is more important than ever.
We are also seeing stronger demand for integrations, automations and advanced reporting across all sectors. This aligns perfectly with how the platform is evolving. Throughout 2026, we’ll continue strengthening the features that make the NestForms surveying app platform a dependable hub for your data, whether collected in the field, in the office or on the move.
