Document Management | E-Signature
Signed inside the workflow. Enforceable under ESIGN and UETA.
Contracts, NDAs, service orders and internal approvals signed where the work already happens rather than in a separate tool. What makes an electronic signature hold is not the technology but the evidence around it: that the signer intended to sign, agreed to do so electronically, and can be attributed to the mark. All three are captured at signing.
What the system does
Capability, input, output.
| Capability | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Intent and consent | Signer's acceptance at signing | Captured and stored, since this is what the statutes turn on |
| Attribution evidence | Verified email, access log, device and IP | The record tying the signature to the person, retained with the document |
| Excluded-document check | Document type | Warning where paper is still required, before anyone signs |
| Multi-party flows | Signer order and roles | Sequential, parallel or mixed signing |
| Signature seal | Final signature applied | Document locked against post-sign edits |
| Audit trail | Every workflow event | Hash-chained signing log |

Compliance + integrations
Valid is the easy part. Being able to prove it later is the useful part.
ESIGN and UETA settled the question of whether an electronic signature counts, two decades ago. What decides an actual dispute is the evidence around it. A tool that captures a squiggle and nothing else is the one that fails, so the trail here records intent, consent, attribution and every change to the document afterwards.
Regulations we work within
-
ESIGN Act
A signature or record is not denied legal effect because it is electronic, where intent and consent are evidenced.
-
UETA
Adopted in most states, and the reason attribution matters: the record has to be tied to the person who signed.
-
Excluded documents
Wills, parts of family law and certain notices still require paper in many states. Those are flagged rather than signed.
Connects to
- Identity verification Signer authentication before the block opens
- Document vault Signed original stored against the counterparty record
- Approval workflows Signature as a step in the approval, not a detour out of it
E-Signature FAQ
What buyers ask.
Will an electronically signed contract actually hold up?
Generally yes, and it has since ESIGN passed. What decides it is not the technology but the evidence: that the signer intended to sign, consented to doing so electronically, and can be attributed to the signature. The trail records those surrounding facts rather than only the mark, because the mark on its own is what loses arguments.
How do you know it was really them?
Through attribution evidence rather than a certificate: verified email, access log, device and IP, and the sequence of events around the signing. There is no national identity credential to check against here, so the honest answer is a weight of evidence rather than a cryptographic fact, and we would rather say that than imply otherwise.
Which documents cannot be signed electronically?
Wills, parts of family law, and certain notices such as some terminations and foreclosure documents, with the detail varying by state. Finance teams rarely hit them, but a lease or a personal guarantee can sit close to the line, which is why the document type is checked before signature blocks are placed rather than after.
A counterparty overseas wants to sign. Can they?
Yes. They sign electronically like anyone else, or through their own provider with the signature captured back into the record. Where the contract is governed by another country's law, that country's rules decide the question, so the workflow records the governing law alongside the signature rather than assuming US law applies.
