Digital Waivers - roadmap
Digital Waivers - white paper
the road to fully digital waivers...
The waiver is a crucial part of rental, but it actually has many purposes:
- collect customer data
- collect ride specific information - for ski / bike setup
- agreement to your Terms and release of liability
- group structure. Who is the leader, who is the group...etc
requirements / features / use cases!
- beam a client record to a tablet for furnishing with more information (normally signatures)
- branding of self registration (store name, logo etc)
- customisation of fields etc, nice image icons perhaps, grouping of fields. E.g. Address, Identity, Skier info, Personal details...
- store a snapshot digitally including, signature(s), Mac & IP address, timestamp - and access via reservation event viewer
- group handling
- mapping group members to inventory (drag and drop)
- types of registration, group leader, group member (and adult / minor) and individual - represented via ICON in ticker...(and a lightspeed icon of course from those that channel)
- navigate around the self registration / group handling & mapping / signature screens
- access control the devices for self-registration & beaming
- handle returning customers easily
- email to customer in advance to pre-sign waiver. (will they have touch-screen? docusign behaviour??) Especially useful for folks who don't have contact with customers - e.g. delivery only to villas.
- keep track of who has paid! (in group)
More details on the design / implementation of each will be provided here.
1. beaming client records
The ability to send a client record from the back office to a tablet (or other device)
so the devices need to first be registered with BRM
see here on registering devices.
Once the details are on the tablet the customer can add extra details like:
- more data fields
- signature
2. branding
Clients need to brand the self-registration forms with company logo, branding, store name etc.
3. customisation
Customer needs to be able to define:
- which fields are shown
- which fields are mandatory
- what field names are called
- ideally group certain fields into logical groups like 'address, personal details, skiing information'
4. store snapshots of waivers
Customer needs to be able to access a history of saved disclaimers over time including
- what was signed
- terms / waiver
- signature
- meta data like MAC & IP addresses
- timestamp
Efficient handling of group registration if vital for efficient running of a rental operation.
