Let’s be honest, paperwork is no one’s favourite part of running a business. Whether you’re checking in patients at a clinic, signing off deliveries, or processing contracts, there’s always a form to be signed. What if you could make that process faster, safer, and completely above board with Australian regulations?
That’s where electronic signature pads come in. At Datascan, we’ve worked with hundreds of Australian businesses who’ve made the switch. The result? Less chasing signatures, less lost paperwork, and more happy customers.
Take Fiona, who manages a medical practice in Brisbane. Before Topaz pads, her team spent hours tracking down missing forms and juggling filing cabinets. Now, every signature is captured right there on the spot, with a digital record that’s easy to find and impossible to lose. It’s safe, it’s fast, and it’s one less worry on a busy day.
What to Look for in a Signature Pad
If you’re thinking about electronic signing, you’ll want a pad that’s easy to use, tough enough for your workplace, and, most importantly, legally compliant. Here’s what matters most to Australian businesses like yours:
- You should be able to see your signature as you sign
Topaz LCD pads show you exactly what you’re signing, no more squinting at blurry faxes or wondering if the signature will pass muster. - It should capture more than just an image
A simple scan can be faked. A good pad records the real way you write, pressure, speed, stroke order just like a real pen on paper. - It has to last
Australian businesses need gear that can handle daily use. Our pads are built with toughened glass and sturdy casings, so they can stand up to reception desks, delivery rounds, or busy hospital wards. - It should just work
Plug in, start signing. No drivers to install, no IT nightmares. Just a reliable pad that’s ready when you are. - You need local support
If something goes wrong (and let’s face it, sometimes it does), you want someone in Australia you can call. We’re here to help, quickly and without fuss.
