Canvas is a United States-based technology company which provides mobile apps for data collection and sharing.[1] The company's main offices are in Reston, Virginia, with a regional office in Sydney, Australia.[2] Founded in 2008, Canvas specializes in Software as a Service (SaaS). It achieved a first round of funding in 2011.[3] In 2014 the company had 50 employees.[3]
Canvas services provide mobile and tablet interfaces for filling out forms or collecting other date, which is then stored online, through a cloud model. Their collection of apps help businesses cut down on paper usage.[3] "MyCanvas" is a service which allows more open access to data created by paid accounts, allowing, for example, a customer to review records they have submitted to a Canvas user.[4][5]
Canvas allows users to customize their apps and can include GPS location capture, photos, signature capture, and reference data. Data can be exported in a comma-separated values spreadsheet or a pdf.[6]
