The True Cost of Inaction: Stop Burning Revenue on Paper
Manual, paper-based document workflows aren't just an inconvenience—they are a silent tax on your growth. Every hour spent printing, mailing, and chasing signatures is an hour your team isn't selling or servicing clients. eSignly transforms these hidden costs into operational capital.
Accelerate Policy Issuance
Reduce policy cycle times from weeks to minutes. By digitizing the workflow, you eliminate the transit lag of physical mail and manual processing, ensuring policies are bound and active faster than your competition.
Kill the NIGO Tax
Not-In-Good-Order (NIGO) applications are a profit killer. Our required field logic and data validation ensure that no document is submitted until every signature and data point is perfectly captured, eliminating costly rework.
Operational Cost Recovery
Stop paying for the paper trail. Eliminate expenses related to printing, toner, postage, and physical storage. Every dollar you reclaim from operational waste is a dollar you can reinvest in agent growth and technology.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about implementing eSignly in your insurance workflow. Get clear, direct answers to your most pressing questions.
Is eSignly compliant with my state's insurance regulations?
Yes. eSignly complies with the federal ESIGN Act and UETA, which provide the legal framework for electronic signatures across the United States. Our processes are designed to meet the requirements for creating legally binding electronic records and signatures that are enforceable in all 50 states.
Can I use eSignly for life insurance applications that require Part I and Part II?
Absolutely. You can structure your workflow to handle multi-part applications. You can send Part I for initial signature, and once completed, trigger a separate request for Part II (the medical portion) to be completed by the applicant and/or a medical professional, all within a linked, secure workflow.
What happens if a signer doesn't have an email address?
eSignly supports in-person signing. An agent can meet with the client, present the document on a tablet or laptop, and have the client sign directly on the device. The system still captures the full audit trail for the transaction.
How does eSignly handle document retention?
You have full control. Signed documents are securely stored and accessible within your eSignly account. You can also set up automatic archival to your own cloud storage (like Google Drive or Dropbox) or your AMS. We also support custom data retention policies for enterprise accounts.
Can I customize the branding of the signing experience?
Yes. Our Business and Enterprise plans allow you to add your company logo and customize the colors of the signing interface, providing a seamless, branded experience for your clients and agents.
What kind of support do you offer?
We offer comprehensive support for all our customers. This includes a detailed knowledge base, email support, and phone support for higher-tier plans. Our API customers receive dedicated developer support to ensure a smooth integration process.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, we offer a free plan that allows you to explore the core features of eSignly and send a limited number of documents. It's the perfect way to see how the platform works before committing to a paid plan. You can sign up and send your first document in under two minutes.
How does eSignly protect sensitive medical and financial data?
We treat security as the foundation of our product. eSignly utilizes AES-256 bit encryption for data at rest and in transit. We are SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and HIPAA compliant. Every action on a document is logged in a tamper-evident audit trail, ensuring full accountability for PHI and financial records.
Is the implementation process disruptive to our current insurance operations?
Not at all. eSignly is designed for rapid deployment. You can begin using the web interface immediately without technical setup. For complex integrations with your AMS or CRM, our REST API allows your team to automate workflows with minimal coding. We guarantee your first API document can be signed in under one hour.
Why should we choose eSignly over generic eSignature tools?
Generic tools treat insurance like any other contract. We treat insurance as a specialized, high-stakes workflow. From our required fields and data validation logic that prevent NIGO errors, to our deep AMS integrations and HIPAA-compliant architecture, eSignly is engineered to solve the specific bottlenecks that cost insurance carriers and agencies millions annually.
