Congrats on your launch!
There is huge opportunity in the relatively boring fields of digitizing paper-based tasks for established industries. I worked in this field ( mobile data collection & integration for environmental management systems in forestry, oil & gas) for a significant period and the hard part was not the data collection but the unique workflows of each organization. Nobody wants to change "how" they fit the data collection piece into the rest of their processes so you either don't offer it (and create a easily replaceable niche service) or you end up with numerous bespoke customized solutions - what's your plan?
I'd challenge your statement that there's nothing available for some of your biggest potential markets, unless you're talking a more complete lifecycle solution specifically targeting verticals than just the data collection. Also, what's the "automation" component? To me that implies some form of automatic data collection or predictive workflow creation - both which are huge selling points, but hard to pull off.
Finally a key feature that you could consider are the document management aspects around data collection. Even big organizations do this poorly. The ability to accurately group and find related documents (like inspections over time or by project) tends to be missing in data collection. As a user I likely have one or more sets of related documents that fit together based on some component of my workflow that I share with a team, clients regulators and the public in different capacities. The most common solution I see is the network share and an email alias.
