Government agencies can now create online forms that are easier to complete, with guaranteed standards of accessibility, security, and privacy built in. Fully paid for through a centrally funded model, there is no cost to government agencies and no procurement process required.

16 new services since Formbuilder.govt launch

2023 was the biggest year yet for Business Connect.

In April, we launched our drag-and-drop tool, FormBuilder.govt, making it possible to create forms in a matter of hours.

Since then, we’ve added 16 new services to the Business Connect platform.

Designed by government, for government, this tool is for anyone with a govt.nz email address who wants to create an online form.

Forms are designed to be easy to use and cannot be submitted unless all the information is entered – which means improved compliance and better-quality data. This leads to faster processing and increased efficiency.

You do not need coding or design skills to create a form.

case study: eInvoicing Ready Software

Earlier in January, the first service built by someone outside of our team was launched.

Eddy Horwood, an advisor with the eInvoicing team at Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) used FormBuilder.govt to create the ‘eInvoicing Ready Software’ form.

The form allows businesses to apply to be added to the list of eInvoicing ready software providers on the MBIE website.

With some help from the team, he could get the form to a state where it was ready to be published on the Business Connect platform.

The whole process, from gathering requirements to gaining approvals and going live took just 4 working weeks!

Sign-up for a demo or join a knowledge-sharing session

We’re keen to bring more agencies on board Business Connect and get them to build forms using FormBuilder.govt.

We’re planning to run monthly sessions for people using FormBuilder.govt so they can share and learn from each other.

If you’re interested in signing up for FormBuilder.govt or would like a demo, email hello@businessconnect.govt.nz.
