Sign documents wherever you are and reduce your costs
Most documents, such as inter-municipal agreements, require the signature of several signatories who sometimes live in different geographical areas. This process can take up to a few days and, with more signatories, can slow down urgent requests. Avoid mail and printing costs and delays with eZsign.
Organize the way you get the signatures
When you need to issue work authorization certificates, several people are involved in the process: the applicant, the owner, the case manager, all of whom must sign the documents at different times. With eZsign’s workflow management, you can set the order in which all parties must sign and eZsign takes care of the rest of the process.
Help several departments manage their paperwork
Simplify the paperwork handled by the environment department, town planning and home inspectors by allowing them to simply click and sign notices and paperwork.
eZsign makes your work a snap. Easily obtain signatures from colleagues and residents—no matter where they are—without ever leaving your office. Work knowing your documents and data are secure.
