Why It's Time to Switch to Digital Signatures

Wet ink signatures served us well in a paper-first world, but modern teams need speed, security, and traceability that handwritten signatures can’t deliver. A digital signature platform gives you all three.

1) Faster turnaround, fewer bottlenecks

• Sign anywhere: Collect signatures from any device without printing or scanning.
• Automated reminders: Nudges keep deals moving without manual chasing.
• Parallel/serial workflows: Route to multiple signers in the order you choose.

2) Stronger security and compliance

• Audit trails: Every open, view, and signature is tracked with timestamps and IPs.
• Identity controls: Add SMS/OTP for high-trust flows.
• Tamper-evident PDFs: Final documents are sealed to show if they’ve been altered.

3) Lower cost and less admin

• No printing or postage: Cut paper, ink, and shipping costs.
• Single source of truth: Store signed copies centrally with search and retention.
• Fewer errors: Required fields and prefilled data reduce rework.

4) Better experience for customers and teams

• Frictionless signing: One link, clear prompts, no account needed for signers.
• Mobile ready: Optimized for phones and tablets.
• Consistent branding: Use your templates, logos, and messaging.

5) Real-time visibility

• Status at a glance: See who has opened, signed, or stalled.
• Instant downloads: Everyone gets the final sealed PDF as soon as it’s complete.

Bottom line: Digital signatures turn signing from a slow, manual chore into a secure, automated workflow. You’ll close faster, reduce risk, and give customers a better experience than wet ink ever could.
