There are two ways to capture signatures electronically depending on whether the mail is collected or delivered
A signature pad is connected to the PC at the point of collection in the post room. The Delivery routine is run on the PC and the recipient signs the pad. The date and time and signature is recorded
The signature is collected at the point of delivery with a PDA and then transferred to the main database via the local terminal.
The signature and details of the item are shown in the main views of the item and can also be printed as a report for emailing or inspection.
