'No touch' signature capture app created in response to pandemic

A ‘no touch’ signature capture app has been developed to eliminate sign on glass handling of mobile devices. 

The Leeds-based company BigChange produced the app in response to the Coronavirus crisis. The BigChange app allows a signature to be captured on the recipients own smartphone rather than handling other devices.
 
“To minimise the spread of COVID-19, staff making deliveries or undertaking essential service work need to maintain a safe distance from their customers. Sign on glass has become the norm for providing a proof of service or delivery but it involves handing the device to the recipient. Our No Touch Signature Capture feature addresses this problem and will help keep mobile workers and their customers safe,” says Martin Port CEO and Founder of BigChange.
 
The BigChange No Touch app enables the signature capture screen to appear on a recipients’ mobile device such as their smartphone.
 
The mobile worker simply shares the signature capture link which the recipient can receive via email, WhatsApp, SMS or whatever app they use. This allows sign off remotely and will also be useful generally where customers are not normally on site, such as installations, deliveries and services work at unmanned or remote sites.
 
The No Touch App will be available from the third week in April 2020 when it will be added to JobWatch. To activate the function, users simply tick a menu option in the app settings.
