In the retail industry, paperwork is done daily for a large number of cashier operations to confirm some orders and also by the Purchasing department for all goods delivered by suppliers.
At some retailers, the order procedures can require at least three copies of a contract. By this way, it is easy to imagine how big the waste of paper is, only for a signature.
Stores and shops need to organize an efficient centralization of these documents by printing, signing, scanning and storing them. This traditional paper process leads to significant costs (consumables, printing and sometimes sending) and generates some delays.
Paper document centralization workflow:
Electronic handwritten signatures to save paper and time
All documents used by stores or shops (estimate, order form, loyalty programme, delivery form, etc.) have just to be filled out on the computer by employees and are displayed on the signature pad. Then the client or staff approves by signing it on the pad.
