As feedback came in from businesses requesting the ability to accept electronic payments, the company added that functionality to eSign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c2020 was a tough year; it forced a lot of innovation, problem-solving, and working together,\u201d said Point of Rental CEO Wayne Harris. \u201cWe\u2019re glad that so many people found eSign &amp; Pay to be helpful, and we look forward to building and innovating together again in 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additional contactless features like the ability to send documents for signature via SMS gave hire companies throughout Australia the ability to continue conducting business safely throughout the pandemic where possible.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Point of Rental provided more than $1.4 million in free software to help companies provide contactless solutions in 2020.
