ProntoForms (TSX-V: PFM) develops a platform used by field workers, such as safety inspectors, to collect and analyze data with smartphones and tablets. The firm reported total revenue of nearly $3.1 million for the first three months of 2017, up from about $2.9 million in the same period a year earlier.

The company also touted a number of new sales and marketing agreements, including a partnership with Apple to supply 900 of its mobile platforms to the Otis Elevator Co. and a deal with field service software firm FieldAware to add ProntoForms advanced data collection systems to its products.
