IQMS launches signature capture application

August 19, 2009:IQMS has launched a new application that employs electronic tablets to store hand written signatures within the ERP system and allows companies to track transactions across the entire enterprise and supply chain.

Signature Capture has been developed by IQMS which develops manufacturing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software.

As the manufacturing industry requires more tracking of personnel, raw material, parts and completed products, Signature Capture allows companies to stay ahead of the tracking process and seamlessly incorporate them into the business.

The new application can be used in all areas of the ERP system and provides cost savings with less paperwork and legwork. Signature Capture enables IQMS customers to use an electronic tablet to store signatures as part of Bill of Lading (BOL) documents within IQMS’s flagship ERP software, EnterpriseIQ.

IQMS’s automation group developed Signature Capture based on requests from customers who were looking for a secure way to obtain and store hand written signature releases within the ERP system. The application works by converting signatures for storage in the database as an attachment to the BOL documents. If the bill is reprinted or viewed at a later time, the signature is part of the document. Signature Capture provides another way for IQMS and EnterpriseIQ to further link the shop and ERP to offer an extended package – all within a single database.
