Address Capture & Live Quoting

When your customers place delivery orders, they select doorstep courier or nearest Pudo locker. The system queries shipping brokers instantly for a real-time overnight shipping quote.

Print, Pack and Bag

The clerk prints the 8-photo layout card and the waybill sticker on their receipt printer. They pack the photos into a courier flyer, slap on the waybill, and place it in the collection bin.

The Department of Home Affairs mandates biometric photographs sized exactly 35mm wide by 45mm high. The face must occupy 70-80% of the vertical frame, eyes must be centered with no red-eye or reflections, and the backdrop must be a flat, shadow-free light-grey or white background. Flash ID's templates ensure these parameters are met.
We support all standard inkjets, lasers, and professional dye-sublimation photo printers (e.g., Epson, Canon, HP, DNP). Because Flash ID spools raw layout grid specifications directly to your local PC browser, the system uses your existing printer drivers. No special software is needed.
Yes, absolutely. Under South Africa's POPIA legislation, customer biometrics constitute sensitive personal information. Flash ID processes image files in volatile cloud memory tunnels and deletes them immediately upon spooling confirmation. We do not maintain historical caches of customer photos on our servers.
No app install is required. The operator phone pairs via a secure web portal address that opens inside standard mobile browsers (Safari, Chrome). This makes setup instant and keeps local store storage clean.
