Product details 

Formular.iQ is a no-code self-service tool that enables departments within public authorities to digitise application forms for the Federal Portal and other online portals – independently of their IT department. It is based on the Plattform.iQ technology developed by the Bundesdruckerei. This SaaS solution supports federal authorities and, in the long term, also state and local administrations with rapid, simple digitisation.

OZG-compliant integration into online portals Put your application services online in the Federal Portal – also as a state or local authority. Formular.iQ is fully compliant with the Online Access Act (OZG) and helps public authorities provide digital services that are legally compliant, technically standardised and easy to use. The tool enables the complete digital mapping of application processes: departments can create, maintain and publish their own forms independently, without relying on the IT department or external service providers. In addition, the system ensures high interoperability and supports core OZG components from FITKO, as well as integration into federal and state portals (based on Plattform.iQ). Together with the Federal Portal’s form management, Formular.iQ supports the entire process, from form creation and coordination of your internal procedures through to regular updates, maintenance and administration of online forms. Changes (for example resulting from new legal requirements) can be quickly and easily implemented directly in the tool itself. No external service provider is required, which saves costs and enables full independence when managing forms. As a result, citizens always have access to up-to-date, user-friendly online forms. We support staff at all administrative levels in public authorities in digitising forms independently and without programming skills. By the authority, within the authority.

Formular.iQ in practice

Practical example: Digitalising recognition of foreign professional qualifications – in just a few days 

A specialist department within a federal authority used our no-code tool to digitise a complex recognition procedure – fully compliant with the Online Access Act (OZG). The form was created independently and includes everything needed for a smooth application process: input assistance, upload fields, validation rules, and a feedback channel for queries or notices. Applications are then structured and transferred directly to the specialist system – without any media breaks or development effort. Publication via the Federal Portal takes place in parallel. The result: faster processing and more satisfied applicants.

What our customers say about Formular.iQ: 

During the pilot phase, several authorities tested Formular.iQ extensively – with consistently positive feedback. Users particularly appreciated the intuitive interface, which allows staff with no technical background to create and maintain forms independently. Because no JavaScript knowledge is required, a much wider group of employees can use the tool. Central implementation within the authority creates additional synergy effects and ensures a uniform structure across all forms. In practice, the tool has proven to be fully suitable for independent maintenance and the creation of new forms – all previous use cases have been implemented successfully.
