eKo CRM adopts electronic signature!
Electronic signature: a modern revolution in document management.
The electronic signature market in Europe is expected to keep growing by 27% a year until 2026, which shows how much interest businesses have in this feature! It is booming and fits perfectly with businesses' drive to digitise their processes.
Indeed, everything is pushing us to adopt it and change our working habits: first the COVID-19 health crisis, then the search for productivity gains, and fuel prices approaching 2 euros a litre…
The main purpose of electronic signature is threefold:
- Guaranteeing the integrity of a document, i.e. making sure that the document has not been altered between its signature and its consultation;
- Authenticating its author, i.e. making sure of the identity of the signatory;
- Providing proof of consent.
So the question is no longer whether all businesses will adopt it, but when and how…
CONSELIO's answer to these questions is simple: now and easily!
By integrating a new electronic signature module into eKo CRM®, CONSELIO enables its customers to have signed, certified and time-stamped documents, with eIDAS qualified time-stamping for legal validity recognised in Europe and the United States. Because that is now what it is all about: ease of use for a better user experience! General-purpose platforms offering this feature are not always very easy to use, and repeating the same set-up a hundred times for different documents to be sent for signature can take time… a lot of time…
When the option is set up, CONSELIO's team collects your original documents (general terms and conditions of sale, specific terms of use, SEPA direct debit mandate form, etc.), configures them by setting the positions of the future signatures, and adds them to your eKo CRM® account as attachments to a quote that you can send to your customers. You can then get your orders signed from your chair in two clicks from your eKo CRM® user account! On reflection, you don't even need to go to the office for that, since this feature is also available on your smartphone!
And that is the whole point: CONSELIO offers you a certified electronic signature solution that is, above all, built into the tool you use every day to manage your business and all your customer and supplier contacts: eKo CRM®.
Electronic signature means:
- 15% to 38% more signatures for remote signing.
- Processing time divided by 10.
- Complete legal certainty.
- A modern image for your business.
- A move towards greener values.
- Significant savings: paper, envelopes, postage, printer, scanner, travel, working time…
