Corporate History

Founded in 1983 by Heinz Reschke the company initially developed individual software solutions for various industries. Visual comparison of signatures supported by PCs was started in 1987, triggered by growing demand from major financial institutions. Shortly after this SOFTPRO - along with IBM and APP Informatik Davos - started the development of automatic signature verification. The automatic verification is based on a neural network and fuzzy logic. The first automatic solution went into production in 1994. Patent rights for the automatic verification were acquired from IBM in 1998. In recent years SOFTPRO extended its product range through the use and verification of dynamic (biometric) characteristics of signatures.

Partners

SOFTPRO enables its partners to complement their offers with the verification of signatures. The company cooperates with a number of suppliers of devices for signature capturing, software vendors and system integrators. The partners benefit through intensive exchange of technical information and active cooperation in marketing und public relations. The advantages for joint customers are obvious: expert consulting, innovative technology and efficient implementation.
