Signature Pad Interface
This is 2nd most important hardware interface for Ranger FrontDesk Hotel Software. Normally hotels print registration card and ask customers to print on physical documents. Ranger offers digital signature pad interface and that make whole operation paperless. Instead of taking signature on physical paper, you are asking customer to take signature on digital signature pad and store that signature permanently on your record. This helps in two ways, you don’t need to find any documents when it is require and in case of charge back you can eRangerly print old folio / invoice and give that to credit card company, it exactly prints the same folio with signature which you captured at the time of check-in. It also help you against routine city/state/county audit process as you don’t need to manage physical folios but you can present all documents in digital format. Many Ranger hotel customers have pass many successful audits with this green paperless operation.
