ASI offers signature pads and email facilities with its products that allows for a completely paperless office. Instead of signature from guests on physical registration paper forms, the system can capture digital signatures on signature pad devices and bind them to guest registration forms and folios. This is similar to super market check out counters. Customers can receive their copies of documents they sign in an email. At any time after the capture of signature, the forms can be printed with actual image of digital signatures for other usages if required. When paired with scanner solutions, the digital signatures become formidable tool to fight credit card chargebacks from guests. This paperless approach is also very helpful in city/state/county audit process as management of physical papers is not required any more. If physical evidence is required, the documents can be printed at any time. Many of our clients have successfully passed audits with this green paperless operation.
