Digital Signature Technology benefits delivery and sales
Digital signature stops disputed deliveries, sales orders and invoices leading to back office complications, delayed receivables and unhappy customers.
To help improve service and reduce costs, drivers are carrying smartphones and tablets. These are equipped with digital signature technology for proof of delivery (POD) and orders. Mobile devices communicate with the company’s back office, hence keeping the different departments updated on delivery status and other vital data.
Sapphire Web Pack allows you to take your office anywhere with mobile on-the-go access to parts of the live datafile from any device with a browser. Data can be updated in real-time therefore giving business the flexibility of how and when it can be added into the system.

The signature panel is available in the Data Entry, Client Sales Menu. The signature button is on the top tool bar in Quote, Order and Invoice Modes producing a pop-up screen.
