This innovation enables a customer to shorten process time, eliminate steps, and save money.
Consider companies that prints documents and require a signature. It could be bills of lading or delivery documents, sales orders or contracts, inventory or warehouse tracking forms, work orders or pick tickets.
One company could print on an impact printer with a pre-printed multi-ply “carbonless” form. When signed, they separate a copy or two to leave behind, and bring the rest back. Upon return, someone separates the sheets which are routed, perhaps scanned, and filed either manually or electronically. The form is reviewed for completeness. Any annotations or corrections are handled.
Another company may print on a laser printer, with either plain or more expensive “NCR carbonless” paper. Multiple sheets are printed, a signature is placed on the form, and the form is returned to the company for the same process.
This solution allows the printing of one sheet. That sheet has been electronically saved in the server awaiting the signature. The signature is made upon the page in ink with a special electronic pen. The x-y sweeps of the pen on that paper are saved and transmitted to the server, which inserts those graphics into the document, and creates the image of the signed document as if it had been returned and scanned!
The completed document can then immediately be emailed to destinations such as the customer, the salesman, the branch office. Processes that await the return of a signed document (such as invoicing after delivery receipt) can happen immediately. The document can flow directly and automatically into a document content management archive system.
