What software??
Discussion
Probably a stupid question but I can't seem to find the right google to answer my question:
What software do the postal/delivery companies use on their PDA's/laptops that allow a client to sign for items?
The reason I ask: The company I work for now seem to have a piece of duplicated paperwork for every job imaginable. I'd like to steer them towards a paperless and less paperwork for me
type environment.
Any help gratefully received Matt

They probably run a proprietary application, but have a look at Microsoft's InfoPath, which does a similar job, providing you're not a MS hater 
From Wikipedia: An example of how InfoPath is used: the user fills out a form on their laptop while it is off-line using the InfoPath client. InfoPath may check some fields on the form for validity, and the user can attach a digital signature. The user later connects to the server and submits the form (in XML form), which may be routed for approval. When the user connects to the server, the form template may be automatically updated.
Pretty effective software

Hi Matt
My company builds exactly this kind of software - we have a hosted solution so clients only pay monthly for access to the service. The mobile software will run on normal off the shelf PDA Phones or rugged devices and will capture and return signatures over the air along with other job details. Equally, information, such as next job, etc. can be sent out to the device over the air.
I'd be really interested in having a chat with you if you think this is may be applicable to your company?
Cheers,
roadie.
