In the high-stakes world of B2B operations, speed isn't just a convenience-it's a critical competitive advantage.
Every hour a contract sits unsigned is an hour of delayed revenue, stalled onboarding, or missed opportunity. For busy executives and operations leaders, the goal is simple: eliminate the friction points that slow down the business.
The question is not just, "Do you use e-signatures?" but, "Are you using the fastest electronic signature solution available?"
This is where eSignly steps in. We engineered our platform, from the SaaS interface to the eSignature API, to be the definitive answer to the need for speed.
We don't just replace wet ink signing; we redefine the velocity of your entire document workflow. By moving beyond the slow, costly, and error-prone process of replacing wet ink signing with electronic signatures, eSignly ensures your agreements are signed, sealed, and delivered in minutes, not days.
Key Takeaways: Why eSignly is the Fastest Way to Sign Files

The True Cost of Slow Signatures: Why Speed is a Survival Metric ⏱️
For the modern executive, time is the most expensive commodity. The 'messy middle' of the buyer's journey often stalls at the contract stage.
A slow signature process is not merely an inconvenience; it is a measurable drain on profitability and productivity. Studies show that manual document workflows can reduce team productivity by up to 30%.
The cost of delay includes:
- Lost Revenue: Every day a sales contract is delayed, revenue recognition is pushed back.
- Increased Labor Costs: Employees waste valuable time chasing signatures, printing, scanning, and re-keying data. This administrative overhead can cost businesses an average of $20-$50 per document.
- Poor Customer Experience: A clunky, slow signing process creates friction, which can negatively impact customer loyalty.
eSignly addresses this head-on. Our goal is to move your business from a 'days-to-sign' model to a 'minutes-to-sign' reality.
The industry average for e-signature adoption shows that 79% of agreements are signed within 24 hours. With eSignly, we aim to push that metric even higher for your organization.
