“Now the technicians don't fill in paper reports anymore, instead it’s through an application on their mobile devices. They just need to launch the app and then select the problems with the machines and also what they have done with the machines. After that the customer will sign on the screen of the mobile phone. Then from there the service report is generated automatically and it's all electronic and digital.” – Sam Kuek
