Improve efficiency with digital signatures
When you’re managing a small business, getting estimates, invoices and documents signed can be a major challenge. The task of printing, prepping and mailing documents for signature can consume a lot of staff time. Tracking each step of the signature process and ensuring every document is signed correctly is often a huge headache.
Digital signature software provides a better way to manage the signing process. By allowing customers to sign digital documents online, you can eliminate the headache of paper-based workflows while dramatically accelerating timelines. Tracking documents is a breeze – digital signature software can automatically show who has received, opened, viewed and signed each document, verifying that every page has been correctly signed or initialed. Ultimately, digital signatures help tame the complexity and minimize the hassle of managing document signing, so you and your staff can stay focused on getting work done.
As a do-it-all platform for managing small business, Thryv offers digital signature software to help simplify, protect and speed up your signature requests.
Challenges of managing the signature process
Online document signing software overcomes many of the difficulties that businesses encounter when trying to manage the signature process manually.
- Organizational headaches. With paper-based signing processes, it’s hard for businesses to know exactly where each the contract is, whether it’s been signed or mailed back, and whether every document has been correctly signed and initialed by each party.
- Inefficient workflows. It can take days or weeks to get documents signed manually. Businesses must either find a time where signers can meet in person or send documents through the mail and wait until individuals sign and return the files.
- Security issues. It’s easy for hard copies of confidential documents to be lost in the mail, misplaced or misfiled. When private documents are mailed to signers, businesses never know who else has seen the file.
- Costly processes. The staff time involved in managing manual signatures can be costly, and printing and postage only add to the expense of the signature process.
