Signing receipts from a distance
DB Schenker has developed an innovative no-touch signature capture feature for safe documentation of deliveries while everyone involved maintains the required coronavirus distance.
The logistics service provider is now using this technology in several European Countries such as Spain, Austria, Finland, Portugal and Sweden.
The system works as follows: the delivery agent shows the recipient a digital QR code that the recipient can scan with a smartphone from a distance of up to three metres. This procedure identifies the smartphone user as the recipient of the consignment, after which DB Schenker’s POD website opens on the phone. The recipient then enters the necessary personal information on the website and confirms the delivery by signing on their own smartphone screen. (ben)
