Safe-Sign for Safe Signing and Deliveries
As lockdown continues, keeping our distance and avoiding contact with non-householders are still our best protections against Covid-19 infection.
Now, ILG customers are benefitting from a new contactless technology that enables our delivery drivers to collect proof-of-delivery signatures at a distance, quickly and safely.
Safe-Sign, part of the MetApp delivery app developed by ILG’s technology partner Metafour, uses QR codes to capture delivery signatures on the doorstep, without the need for recipients to touch the driver’s PDA or mobile phone. For each delivery, Safe-Sign generates a unique QR code on the driver’s device. The recipient uses their smartphone to scan the QR code, access a signature webpage and sign for the package on their own device. Safe-Sign scanning even works through window glass, so householders can choose to stay indoors for extra safety.
Thanks to Safe-Sign, all ILG’s home deliveries are operating efficiently, complying with government social distancing guidelines and keeping recipients and drivers safe.
