The Breton start-up Bystamp has designed a revolutionary stamp allowing you to mark digital documents directly on the screen. It has teamed up with the manufacturer of ink pads Colop to launch this new office utensil which combines both functions..
The Vannes start-up invented the Keymo anti-fraud digital stamp, which allows digital documents to be marked and certified securely on the fly directly “by stamping” the screen where they are displayed. Bystamp has combined its technology with that of Austrian ink pad manufacturer Colop to create the world's first hybrid ink and digital stamp. This innovative hybrid tampon, patented and named here Printer 2in1, combines the functions of an ink pad and the Keymo digital stamp in a single tool. He is, in its principle, as compact and easy to use as traditional ink pads. This stamp makes ink markings on paper while incorporating Keymo technology., which allows you to affix markings and digital certificates to documents in PDF format, all in one click. Its level of security is identical to that of the Keymo stamp which, his, shaped like a stick. The technology invented by Bystamp is compatible with all operating systems and all computers, tablets or smartphones running Windows, Android, MacOS and iOS.
A two-in-one tampon
The creation of the ink stamp and that of the digital stamp are done simultaneously, the visual elements that form the rubber seal being transmitted to Bystamp, by the seller, via a Colop app which then allows you to reproduce this seal identically and activate the digital part of the 2in1 stamp. For Yann Le Bail, founder of Bystamp, “by its ease of use and intuitiveness, this new stamp could revolutionize the use of ink stamps and facilitate the adoption of digital stamps in everyday life, And this, all over the world ». Available in physical and online distribution channels, the Printer 2in1 stamp will first test the market in a few European countries at an introductory price of around €55 excluding tax (about twice as much as a Printer pad alone). In France in particular, where the invoices, accounting and contractual documents, and, generally, all company working documents will have to be digitized in the coming years. Colop will see if it is then desirable to adapt its technology to its entire range, broadcast in more than 140 countries.
