ProSale Signing

With ProSale Signing electronic documents can be signed in a simple and safe way. It is possible to select the desired level of security such as PKI, SMS, password or e-mail. The signed document can then be automatically loaded into an application, thus avoiding any manual handling and archiving. A document signed by ProSale Signing is fully autonomous and can therefore also be supported by other software such as Adobe Reader for PDF documents.

Present situation

Today many documents are handled electronically. When these are to be signed they must be printed and then signed by hand. When these documents arrive by surface mail or fax they must be:

Checked manually (even the actual handmade signature)
Registered in an application
Archived in a paper archive.

This manual handling is very expensive, both economically, work wise and for the environment.

Problems we solve

Documents that require signatures are often handled manually with pen and paper. If such documents instead could be handled and signed electronically large savings could be made, both economically and environmentally.

Advantages

Reduced carbon dioxide emissions from paper consumption and transport of the same
Reduced lead time, no surface mail or fax required
Automatic validation of contents
No manual re-entering of data - data imported directly
Identity check done
Data archiving - easy retrieval
