In the world of B2B operations, the signature is the final, critical step in every transaction, contract, and agreement.
Yet, for many organizations, the process remains a frustrating bottleneck. The manual cycle of printing, signing, scanning, and tracking documents is not just slow; it's a direct drain on profitability and a significant source of compliance risk.
This is the challenge that executives, legal teams, and IT departments face daily: how to achieve true digital transformation without compromising security or legality.
The solution isn't just a digital signature; it's a comprehensive, enterprise-grade platform engineered for simplicity, speed, and trust.

The Hidden Costs of Complex Document Signing Workflows
For too long, the cost of document signing has been viewed only through the lens of paper and postage. The real expense, however, lies in the time lost and the risk incurred.
A skeptical executive might ask, "Is our current process really that bad?" The data suggests it is. Businesses save 55-78% in administrative costs by collecting signatures electronically, a figure that highlights the inefficiency of manual methods.
The Time-to-Signature Bottleneck
The most significant drag on business velocity is the time it takes to finalize a deal. Manual processes can add days, or even weeks, to the sales cycle.
This delay impacts revenue recognition, customer satisfaction, and overall operational efficiency. According to industry reports, eSignatures reduce contract processing time by 28% to 80%, proving that speed is a measurable competitive advantage.
eSignly addresses this by focusing on a frictionless experience. Our platform is built to ensure that 79% of agreements are signed within 24 hours, accelerating your time-to-revenue.
Table: Quantifying the True Cost of Manual Signing
| Cost Factor | Manual Process Impact | eSignly Digital Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Time-to-Signature | Days to Weeks (65% of businesses report it takes a full workday to get a physical signature) | Minutes to Hours (79% signed within 24 hours) |
| Administrative Cost | High (Paper, printing, filing, shipping, error correction) | Low (55-78% administrative cost reduction) |
| Error Rate | High (Manual errors, missing fields, wrong dates) | Low (80% reduction in signing errors due to guided workflows) |
| Security/Compliance | Low (Physical documents are easily lost or compromised) | High (ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR compliant) |
