MCS sees positive Signs

Businesses have been exploring new ways of working to minimise or eliminate direct contact between people to control the spread of the virus.

As a result, MCS Global reports accelerated adoption of the company’s E-Sign system, which integrates with its MCS-rm software to provide electronic signature capture and paperless records.

“We can also adapt E-Sign so that drivers can take digital photographs of a delivery location, with date and time stamps as well as GPS co-ordinates,” Marketing Manager Eleanor Bateman told me. “This makes transactions completely contact-less, so that social distancing can be maintained.

“Demand is also rising for automated backup systems based in the cloud, as some users have still been backing up to machines located in their premises, which might have had to close and been inaccessible during the lockdown.

“Similarly, some companies that still use paper invoices are now looking at generating and sending these electronically, so that customers can receive them instantly no matter where they might be working.”

Eleanor adds that a steady rise in the number of transactions that MCS-rm users are backing up to its cloud-based servers shows that business levels have been increasing generally. Another positive sign, one might say.
