Better Proposals
eSignature software

An electronic signature is an efficient way to get your documents signed quickly. It is usually a digital symbol of a person’s name connected to a document, verifying their acceptance of the terms of the agreement.

Once your client has typed in or drawn their name on a document in Better Proposals, an algorithm creates a unique private key. The data connected to the signature is encrypted and securely stored, protecting the validity of the signature. As an extra precaution, Better Proposals also records the signer’s email address, IP address, and signature time and date to authenticate electronic signatures.

If anything, electronic signatures are safer than handwritten ones. This is because electronic signatures can be traced back to the person who signed your document thanks to encryption. That way, you can prove that the document hasn’t been tampered with and that the signature wasn’t forged.

Yes, electronic signatures are legally binding both in the European Union and the United States. In 2019, the EU passed the Electronic Signatures Directive and a year later, the US passed the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act. This ensures that the validity of a document or agreement cannot be challenged in court solely because it was signed electronically.

Collecting handwritten signatures is a time-consuming process that involves printing, sending, scanning, and receiving the document back from your client, delaying your progress by days or weeks. And once the entire process is completed, you also need to store physical copies of the documents securely.

On the other hand, electronic signature solutions are faster and more efficient because the signing process takes place online. You send the documents in a secure manner and get the signatures back in minutes, not to mention the fact that you won’t have to deal with hard copies. All your documents, records, and transactions are stored electronically, which means you can access them anytime.

At Better Proposals, we make sure all your data is secure. Your documents are always private, and every one of your clients gets a unique, encrypted link that can’t be accessed by anyone else. And if you want an added layer of security, there is also the option of password protecting your documents.

Online electronic signatures are fast, cost-effective, secure, and environmentally friendly. They make remote and international business simpler because your clients can sign documents anywhere, anytime, which is especially useful when the same document needs to be signed by several people.

With online electronic signatures, you can manage your documents more quickly and save them in a digital workspace where the right people can access them when necessary. To top it all off, there is also no paper involved, which means you don’t have to think about handling and physical storage.

Thanks to international regulations, electronic signatures guarantee the origin and integrity of the data in your documents. With the information collected on the signatories and data encryption, your clients know with certainty that nothing has been altered after signing. In addition to this, electronic signatures also come with a court admissible audit trail, making potential dispute resolution easier.
