New Role for Topaz Systems Electronic Signature Capture – Weapon in the War on Methamphetamine
InnovationRx Pty. Ltd. has integrated Topaz Systems electronic signature capture pads and software tools within its MethShield™ product. Topaz’s SignatureGem™ LCD 4x5 signature pads are now used by pharmacies and retailers to capture signatures of customers who purchase products containing pseudoephedrine.
St. Louis, MO, November 08, 2008 --(PR.com)-- InnovationRx Pty. Ltd., a pioneer in electronic solutions for tracking the sales of ingredients used to manufacture methamphetamine, has integrated Topaz Systems electronic signature capture pads and software tools within its MethShield™ product. Topaz’s SignatureGem™ LCD 4x5 signature pads were brought to the attention of InnovationRx Pty. by Computime, an Authorized Sales & Fulfillment partner for Topaz Systems and are now used by pharmacies and retailers to capture signatures of customers who purchase products containing pseudoephedrine, a necessary ingredient in meth production.
Topaz Systems electronic signature capture products enable the capture, binding, and authentication of biometric handwritten signatures within the context of any electronic form, document, or receipt. MethShield™ developers used Topaz’s SigPlus® software toolkit to build this functionality into their solution.
“We chose to use Topaz’s SignatureGem™ LCD 4x5 signature pads for a number of reasons,” says Shaun Singleton, MethShield™ CEO. “The large LCD allows us to display written content as specified in the Combat Meth Act of 2005. The pad maintains a small countertop footprint, which is great for pharmacies. Best of all, Topaz’s SDK is easy to use and doesn’t require ongoing license fees, unlike the other options we explored. We were able to integrate the pads within our solution without hiring external developers.”
“Topaz Systems has a strong history of working with and supporting industry leading software providers to provide effective, fully integrated eSign solutions,” Anthony Zank, President & CEO of Topaz Systems stated. “As a result we are excited that our technology is being used effectively in the InnovationRx MethShield solution.”
About SignatureGem™ LCD 4x5
Topaz SignatureGem™ LCD 4x5 is a complete and versatile pen-input system for the capture of signatures used in countertop, desktop, or portable applications. Features include:
· Durable tempered glass construction outlasts competitors’ pressure-sensitive technology
· Fully programmable, including support for checkboxes and pen-tap “hot spots” to allow users to choose preferred options, indicate responses, and navigate multiple screens
· Large, bright monochrome LCD displays graphics and text from the host computer, allowing users to read instructions, consent agreements, and disclosures before signing
