What is Contactless Signature Technology and How Does it Work?

Contactless signature technology allows customers to sign forms, fill out information or confirm receipt without having to exchange physical documents, tablets or smartphones with an associate. In contactless signature technology, a form is forwarded from one person to another and rendered to fit any size device or screen. The customer then receives the automated document with pre-determined rules on what they need to edit, fill or sign on the form.

Contactless signature technology is not only a valuable solution for customer-facing businesses but also easy to implement. It utilizes an automated workflow platform to allow users to build a form, set the rules and forward it to an email address. It includes options like “Return to Sender” that will automatically return the form to the associate after a customer is done filling out and/or signing the automated form.

Contactless signature technology is ideal for Field Service / Utilities, Healthcare, Transportation & Logistics / Delivery, Retail and Government organizations that are looking to automate contracts, invoices, proof of delivery, asset tracking and other forms.

What Are The Benefits of Contactless Signature Technology?

See how contactless signature software and enterprise-grade mobile computers or tablets can benefit your organization:

• Safety: Contactless signature technology is even more important in a post-COVID world where it is recommended that people social distance or stay at least six feet away from one another. With automated forms there is no need for close human interaction
• Productivity: Paper forms are people and time-intensive that require centralized processing and 1-to-1 handoffs, resulting in a much longer process. Automated forms are captured and stored electronically and can be sent and collected in a matter of minutes
• Ease of Use: Most documents can be converted into an automated form in under an hour
• Cost-Effective: Buying and printing costs add up over time. Save money on both by creating and storing all documents electronically. Investing in contactless signature technology has a higher long-term return on investment

For many small to medium-sized businesses – where infrastructure investments, customization/integration costs and speed to deployment were common barriers to adoption – the benefits of robust voice picking technology have been largely out of reach. Until now!

What is Voice Picking?

Voice picking or voice-guided workflow solutions are designed to direct associates – working both hands-free and eyes-free – to conduct picking, receiving, replenishment, put-away and cycle counting operations in a highly efficient manner. It combines both rugged, ergonomic handheld computers and robust speech-recognition software that can integrate with leading ERP providers.

Once integrated, the ERP pushes workflows to a voice-enabled mobile application that can run on an enterprise or consumer-grade Android or iOS device. This enables workers to have a familiar platform and manage multiple interfaces, such as voice, barcode scanning and keypad operations.

What Are The Benefits of Voice Picking?

Voice picking applications have many benefits that impact the warehouse or distribution center workflow, including improvements in hourly pick rate and reduction in picking errors. Here are some additional benefits:

• Improved accuracy and throughput
• Fast training and onboarding
• Eyes-up, hands-free operation
• Enhanced worker safety and satisfaction

For many businesses that are gearing to return their employees to the workplace, another shutdown or slowdown in operations is not an option. Implementing temperature screening kiosks and social distancing technologies is an investment worth making to ensure workers stay safe and operations stay running.

What Types of Social Distancing Technology Exist?

Proximity Sensing Technology: In rugged environments, proximity sensing technology uses an enterprise-grade mobile computer for contact tracing using user-level alerts to contain exposure and empower workers to maintain a safe distance from one another. The technology utilizes Wi-Fi or Bluetooth-enabled devices that are already being utilized by workers for barcode scanning and other warehouse operations. The software on these devices is hosted in the cloud; therefore, requiring no additional infrastructure investments. Full reporting capability allows supervisors to identify high exposure areas or individuals.

Social Distancing Wristbands: In less rugged environments, social distancing wristbands use proximity sensors to briefly vibrate and flash in order to notify workers that another worker (wristband) is within six feet, thus reminding the wearer to maintain a healthy social distance. This technology also includes intuitive API integrations and reporting to track high contact zones, high-risk employees and proximity logs, all while keeping the employee data secure.

What Are The Benefits of Social Distancing Technology?

See some of the benefits of Proximity Sensing Technology with enterprise-grade mobile computers:

• Increase awareness with proximity alerts
• Enforce social distancing with proximity events
• Identify exposure with automated contact tracing
• Utilizes enterprise-grade mobile computers that are already being used by workforce for barcode scanning and other warehouse operations
• Hierarchy-based facility tracking
• At-a-glance dashboard status of all employees on shift and their distance to others
• Creation of a custom notification hierarchy

Why Click and Collect / Curbside Pickup?

Consumers who order online and pickup their product continues to accelerate. Many consumers find the experience of online ordering much more reliable and convenient. It allows consumers to secure a product and pickup time in advance while eliminating the need to stand in line during peak hours. Here are some statistics on the growing adoption of click and collect and curbside pickup:

• According to Optinmonster, 69% of consumers have shopped online and 25% of consumers shop online at least once per month
• According to Forbes, 68% of consumers click and collect and 85% of those consumers buy something additional when they arrive to the store

Benefits of Click and Collect / Curbside Pickup

While online ordering continues to surge, especially in the age of social distancing, it has been proven that brick and mortar retail stores and click and collect environments can co-exist. Consumers still prefer in-store shopping experiences for certain products, such as groceries, while other products like electronics have seen a much higher growth rate in click and collect. However, retailers and grocers alike are now looking to curbside pickup solutions that allow their shoppers to get the products they need while adhering to social distancing recommendations; thus, lessening the likelihood of closing stores in case of another pandemic. Here are some other benefits to click and collect and curbside pickup:

• Improve customer buying experience by eliminating checkout times
• Increase consumer purchases by offering in-store coupons to consumers who click and collect
• Adhere to social distancing recommendations through curbside pickup
• Eliminate the need for retailers and grocers to close down their brick and mortar locations during a future pandemic by implementing curbside pickup now
• Provide predictability for consumers by securing their product and pickup times
