With the use of StepOver electronic signature devices at counters and cash registers, the aim is to reduce or even eliminate the high number of paper receipts generated during day-to-day business operations. In general, our products are used for credit card payments, cell phone refills, car rentals, and so on, or at bank counters to sign deposit, withdrawal, or money transfer slips.

Using our products, the signature is not written on paper but is instead automatically recorded as a digital file, normally in PDF format. This allows payment slips to be recovered immediately from any location, and they remain available at all times for processing, searching, or saving. Thanks to this digital archive of receipts from signed transactions, there is no longer any need for the storage of paper documents, a process which, in the long term, is cumbersome and costly. In addition to reducing the amount of paperwork, the risk of losing any given receipt is eliminated. For the client, the process of signing an electronic device is readily accepted, given that it is analogous to the process of signing on paper.

The electronic device records not only an image of the signature itself but also biometric data with maximum precision-namely, the pressure and velocity. In the event of legal proceedings, this data can allow handwriting experts to verify whether the signature did in fact belong to the person in question. Since this data is protected by an asymmetric key generated in the presence of a notary, the possibility of fraud is eliminated. It is thus impossible, for example, to use the signature on other documents. Furthermore, the signed and legally valid document is protected by means of a checksum so that it cannot be manipulated after the fact.

Our solutions (both hardware and software) have been certified by TÜV Saarland, an independent inspection, control and certification body, and have been given a favorable report from an independent expert used by the courts.

Both the naturaSign Pad POS and the naturaSign Pad Executive can be fully adapted to the specific needs of counters and cash registers. The large color screen allows the document to be read, reviewed, and finally signed directly. Dialog mode also permits interaction with clients, allowing them, for example, to fill in the fields of a form or accept the general conditions of a transaction. In addition, when in standby the device’s slideshow mode provides the counters and cash registers with an advertising space.
