Communication with our suppliers/ entrepreneurs who use Fonn is so simple and transparent. I like the documentation and visualization best. A picture says more than a thousand words but has to be put into good context. Fonn really does this well.

The best property of "Fonn", that I use every day, is to have drawings available at all times. 
Also all necessary forms and reports can be filled in directly, "on spot", and saved right into the project.
