As a retailer, you pursue the goal to always act successfully. In doing so, payment methods should be as simple, comfortable and safe as possible. In order to simplify payment processes merchants increasingly use digital signature solutions such as those offered by signotec GmbH.                 

Seithe & Partner GmbH & Co. KG from Bergkamen has already recognized the advantages of the electronic signature several years ago, and has integrated it into the cash register solution WinPOS. That way customers who pay by direct debit, credit card or bonus card can simply provide their signature on the signotec signature pad instead of signing on a paper slip as before. The customers signature is inserted into the electronic direct debit receipt and transmitted to the network operator, which guarantees the achieving of the documents in accordance with data protection regulations. At the same time, the customer receives its paper slip with the required direct debit transaction text as usual.

When signing, in addition to the image of the signature its entire characteristics are recorded and encoded in the receipt. This way it is possible to identify the signer at a later point of time. By collecting the biometric information and the encrypted transmission to the cash register, the electronic capturing of the signature is in no way inferior to the conventional way of signing.

The paperless procedure eliminates the "annoying" storage of the thermal paper transaction documents which carry the customer´s signatures. The high risk of loss of a document is completely excluded. This solution not only eliminates paper, but also puts the chaotic flood of receipts to an end. Access to the electronically signed receipt is easy, fast and secure at any time. The elaborate administration and archiving of paper documents is history.

In addition to the electronic signature for EC- direct debiting, all other documents signed by a customer or employee (such as selections, expenditures, returns and daily cash balances) can also be signed on the signature pad.

Primarily, the signature pad serves to capture tamper-evident signatures. The Omega and Gamma Pad can also be used for direct customer contact and sales promotions. Due to their large internal memory and their clear display current offers can be perfectly presented in a slide show and bring out main accents at the POS. In addition to its excellent features, a major advantage of these signature pads is their flat surface without edges between sensor and housing. Pen and sensor provide the feeling of writing almost like on paper. The pen itself has the size and feel of a real ballpoint pen.

The advantages of the solution are extraordinary – the digital capturing of the signature on transaction documents creates order, saves time, money and resources.
