Once the deal is agreed upon, one final step remains

The client agrees to the offer, terms are settled, and the business contract is ready. Yet, this is precisely where the process often slows down. The document sits in an email inbox; the client has to print it or forward it to an authorized person, while the salesperson waits for the signed version to return.

With OKdokument, you send the contract directly for electronic signature and can track its status in real time—seeing whether the client has opened it, signed it, or is still waiting to provide feedback.

Email reminder

If the client does not complete the signing process, you can remind them about the document directly from the system.

The client agreed to the offer. He can sign the contract that same day

The sales representative prepares the final contract, adds the authorized signatories, and sends the document to the client. The client opens it on their mobile device, reviews it, and signs it without the need for printing or scanning.

If a company executive or another representative also needs to sign the contract, each person receives their own unique link. The sales representative can monitor the document's status in real time and send a reminder to a specific individual if necessary.

Once completed, both parties work with the same final version of the contract.

Select the signature based on the type of contract

The appropriate level of electronic signature depends on the specific document, the required identification of the signatory, and the legal requirements regarding the form of the contract.

When making a decision, consider the following:

  • who is signing the document,
  • what level of verification is required,
  • whether the document requires a specific form,
  • whether an advanced signature suffices or a qualified signature is required.
