The different signature methods can be combined in order to adapt to the needs of teams and individuals, and based on the number of signatures required, we offer various ways to sign:

Remote Signatures

Documents can be sent to anyone with a computer, smartphone or tablet and requires no software installation. The signer receives the document via email from our document management software, followed by a one time password sent to their phone. The signers ID is verified which in turn allows them to sign the document.

Biometric Signature

A handwritten signature can be used in face to face situations on a tablet that is capable of capturing biometric information. Evidence such as the speed, pressure and inclination are collected, encrypted and embedded into the document which can uniquely identify the signer.

Centralised Signature

A remotely used electronic signature can be created via an app on a smartphone or tablet. Accessing a web page makes it possible to sign a large volume of documents in a small amount of clicks. This is incredibly valuable for Finance and Human Resources departments. The signer is identified with a unique certificate that has previously been installed on the device being used.
