Comprehensive eSignature Features

Power your business with a complete suite of professional-grade tools designed to secure, automate, and accelerate your document workflows.

Legally Binding eSignatures

The core of our platform. Create and apply signatures that are legally recognized and accepted in the United States, European Union, and many other jurisdictions worldwide. This is the foundation for a fully digital, paperless workflow.

  • Comply with major laws like the ESIGN Act and eIDAS.
  • Eliminate the need for printing, scanning, and faxing.
  • Increase the speed of agreement execution from days to minutes.

Comprehensive Audit Trails

For every document you send, we generate a detailed, tamper-evident log of all activity. This certificate contains every event, including who viewed, who signed, when they signed, and from what IP address, providing powerful legal evidence.

  • Create a court-admissible record for every transaction.
  • Resolve disputes quickly with undeniable proof of signing.
  • Meet stringent compliance and auditing requirements.

Reusable Templates

Stop recreating the same documents over and over. Set up a document once as a template, defining the signature fields, text fields, and signer roles. Now you can reuse it indefinitely, saving hours of administrative work.

  • Standardize your most common agreements like contracts and NDAs.
  • Reduce errors by pre-defining all required fields.
  • Onboard new team members faster with ready-to-use documents.

Bulk Sending

Need to send the same document to hundreds of people for their individual signature? Upload a list of recipients, and our bulk send feature will automatically dispatch a unique, trackable copy to each person. Perfect for policy updates or permission slips.

  • Save massive amounts of time compared to sending one by one.
  • Track the status of each individual recipient in real-time.
  • Ensure consistency and accuracy across a large group of signers.

In-Person Signing

Capture a legally binding signature from someone who is physically present, using your tablet, laptop, or mobile device. Ideal for field services, retail counters, or client intake where you need a signature on the spot.

  • Complete transactions and agreements face-to-face without paper.
  • Provide a modern, efficient experience for your customers.
  • Instantly secure the signed document in your account.

Advanced Signer Fields

Go beyond just signatures. Drag and drop a variety of fields onto your documents to collect the data you need, including text boxes, dates, checkboxes, dropdown menus, and initials. Make your documents interactive forms.

  • Collect all necessary information in one seamless step.
  • Reduce follow-up emails and calls for missing data.
  • Ensure data is captured in a structured, usable format.

Custom Branding

Maintain a consistent brand experience for your customers and partners. Add your company logo and brand colors to the emails and signing pages your recipients see. Reinforce your brand identity and build trust.

  • Provide a professional, trustworthy signing experience.
  • Differentiate your communications from generic requests.
  • Strengthen brand recognition throughout the customer journey.

Team Management & Permissions

As your organization grows, eSignly grows with you. Invite users, group them into teams, and set granular permissions. Control who can send documents, who can create templates, and who can view documents across the organization.

  • Centralize your eSignature solution for better control and billing.
  • Ensure team members only have access to what they need.
  • Improve collaboration by sharing templates and document visibility.

Real-Time Notifications & Tracking

Eliminate the guesswork of follow-up. Get instant email notifications when a document is viewed, and again when it's completed. From your dashboard, you can see the real-time status of every document you've sent.

  • Know the exact moment to follow up with a client.
  • Stop wasting time manually checking on document status.
  • Improve forecasting by having a clear view of your document pipeline.

eSignature API & SDKs

Integrate the power of eSignly directly into your own applications. Our modern REST API is built for developers, with clear documentation, SDKs for popular languages, and a sandbox environment for easy testing and development.

  • Create a completely seamless, white-labeled signing experience.
  • Automate document creation and signing from your core systems.
  • Build custom workflows tailored to your unique business needs.

Embedded Signing

Keep users on your website or in your application throughout the entire signing process. Use our API to embed the signing experience directly within an iframe, providing a fully integrated workflow without redirecting to eSignly.

  • Increase conversion rates by reducing friction and context switching.
  • Maintain full control over the user experience.
  • Perfect for customer onboarding or checkout processes.

Data Validation Rules

Ensure you get the right information the first time. Apply validation rules to your fields to enforce specific formats, such as a valid email address, a phone number, or a number within a certain range. Eliminate data entry errors at the source.

  • Drastically reduce 'not-in-good-order' documents.
  • Improve the quality of data collected for downstream systems.
  • Save time by avoiding manual data correction and follow-ups.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Signers

Add an extra layer of security for your most sensitive documents. Require signers to verify their identity by entering a one-time passcode sent to their mobile phone via SMS before they can access and sign the document.

  • Heighten signer identity verification for high-value transactions.
  • Strengthen the legal defensibility of your signed agreements.
  • Provide peace of mind for all parties involved.

Secure Document Storage

All your completed documents are stored securely and centrally in your eSignly account. No more searching through email inboxes or network drives. Easily search, access, and manage all your signed agreements from one place.

  • Create a single source of truth for all your signed documents.
  • Simplify compliance and audit requests with centralized access.
  • Protect your documents with enterprise-grade security and encryption.

Signer Attachments

Allow signers to upload and attach supporting documents as part of the signing process. This is ideal for collecting documents like a driver's license, proof of insurance, or other required paperwork alongside the signed agreement.

  • Consolidate all required documents into a single transaction.
  • Streamline onboarding and application processes.
  • The attached files are securely bound to the final audit trail.

Proven Outcomes: Real-World Success Stories

SaaS (Software-as-a-Service)

Tech Startup Cuts Sales Contract Cycle by 40% with eSignly Templates

"eSignly transformed our sales velocity. What used to take a week of back-and-forth now takes a day, sometimes just an hour. Our reps can now focus on selling instead of chasing paperwork. The templates feature alone was a game-changer for us."
Avatar for Cameron Avery
Cameron Avery
VP of Sales, InnovateLeads Corp.

Problem: The company's manual contracting process was a major bottleneck to revenue growth. Each contract was slightly different, requiring legal review even for standard deals. Sales reps wasted hours tracking down signatures, and the lack of visibility meant sales leadership couldn't accurately forecast deal closures.

Challenges:

  • Average contract cycle time was over 7 business days.
  • Inconsistent terms and branding in contracts sent to clients.
  • No central repository for signed agreements, leading to lost documents.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into whether a client had viewed the contract.

Solution: eSignly was implemented across the sales team. First, they worked with their legal counsel to create standardized Master Service Agreement and NDA templates in eSignly. These templates had pre-defined fields and locked sections, ensuring consistency. Sales reps were trained to use these templates, allowing them to generate and send a compliant contract in minutes. They also utilized the real-time tracking feature to know exactly when to follow up with prospects.

Outcomes:
  • Reduced average contract signing time from 7 days to 1.5 days.
  • Achieved a 95% reduction in contract errors requiring legal rework.
  • Increased sales team productivity by an estimated 5 hours per rep, per week.
Human Resources & Staffing

Mid-Sized HR Firm Achieves HIPAA Compliance for Onboarding

"eSignly gave us the peace of mind we desperately needed. We can now onboard new healthcare staff remotely with a process that is both fast for the candidate and fully HIPAA compliant. The audit trail is so detailed, it makes our compliance checks effortless."
Avatar for Lauren Gentry
Lauren Gentry
Director of Operations, MedStaff Solutions

Problem: The firm needed a way to send and receive sensitive documents like I-9s, benefits enrollment forms, and non-disclosure agreements that contained Protected Health Information (PHI). Their existing process was a compliance nightmare, risking huge fines and reputational damage.

Challenges:

  • Risk of massive fines for HIPAA non-compliance.
  • Onboarding process for a single candidate took over a week.
  • High costs associated with printing, mailing, and storing physical documents.
  • Poor candidate experience due to clunky, slow paperwork.

Solution: The firm chose eSignly specifically for its HIPAA-compliant features. They signed a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with eSignly. They then converted their entire onboarding packet into a single eSignly template. This template included fields for collecting personal data, signer attachments for uploading IDs, and signature blocks for policy acknowledgements. The process was now fully digital, secure, and trackable from end to end.

Outcomes:
  • Achieved 100% HIPAA compliance for their document signing process.
  • Reduced new hire onboarding time by 80%, from 1 week to 1-2 days.
  • Eliminated over $15,000 in annual costs for paper, printing, and shipping.
Logistics & Supply Chain

Global Logistics Enterprise Integrates eSignatures into Supply Chain Workflow via API

"The eSignly API was exactly what we needed. It's robust, well-documented, and our developers were able to get a proof-of-concept running in a week. We've integrated it into our core logistics platform, and it has completely eliminated paper from our delivery confirmation process."
Avatar for Warren Doyle
Warren Doyle
IT Director, Worldwide Freight Co.

Problem: The 'last mile' of their logistics process was a black hole. Paper-based PODs meant that billing was often delayed for weeks until the physical document made its way back to a central office. This negatively impacted cash flow and created disputes with clients who demanded immediate proof of delivery.

Challenges:

  • Delayed invoicing cycles due to slow receipt of paper PODs.
  • High incidence of lost or damaged documents in transit.
  • Lack of a single, reliable system for carrier onboarding and agreements.
  • Inability to provide clients with real-time delivery confirmation.

Solution: The company's development team used the eSignly eSignature API to embed signing functionality directly into their proprietary logistics management mobile app used by drivers. When a delivery is made, the driver can now hand their tablet to the recipient to capture an in-person signature directly in the app. For carrier agreements, their procurement portal now automatically generates and sends contracts for signature via the API when a new carrier is approved. All signed documents are automatically pushed back into their central database.

Outcomes:
  • Reduced average invoicing time by 22 days, dramatically improving cash flow.
  • Achieved a 99.9% reduction in lost proof-of-delivery documents.
  • Automated the entire carrier onboarding process, saving thousands of admin hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about implementing eSignly. If you have a specific question not covered here, contact our team directly.

Are electronic signatures from eSignly actually legally binding?

Yes. eSignly is designed to comply with major global regulations, including the U.S. ESIGN Act, UETA, and the EU's eIDAS regulation. Every signed document is coupled with a comprehensive, court-admissible audit trail that tracks every action, ensuring a high level of non-repudiation.

We are a small business. This seems too complex or expensive for us.

We built eSignly to scale with you. You can start with our free plan to handle occasional documents and see how easy it is. Our paid plans are affordably priced per user, and the platform is intuitive, allowing you to send your first document for signature in under five minutes. There's no complex setup required.

How can I trust the security of my sensitive documents online?

Security is our foundation. We protect your data with AES-256 bit encryption in transit and at rest. Our platform is hosted on world-class infrastructure and we hold major security and compliance certifications, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. Your documents are safer with us than in a filing cabinet or email attachment.

My team is not tech-savvy. Will they be able to use this?

Absolutely. We've designed the signing experience to be as simple as opening an email and clicking a button. For senders, our interface is clean and guided. Most teams are up and running with zero formal training. The goal is to make it easier than printing, signing, and scanning.

How long does it take to implement the eSignature API?

Developers often get their first document signed via API in under one hour. Our platform includes a comprehensive developer sandbox, clear REST API documentation, and SDKs for major languages. We prioritize a frictionless integration so you can focus on building your core product, not managing eSignature infrastructure.

Does eSignly support specific industry compliance like HIPAA or 21 CFR Part 11?

Yes. We provide the necessary controls to support HIPAA compliance for protected health information and 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for life sciences. We are happy to enter into a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with our healthcare and pharma clients to ensure full legal and operational alignment.

What happens if a signer disputes their signature?

eSignly provides an immutable, court-admissible audit trail for every document. This log includes timestamped records, IP addresses, email verification, and specific event tracking. This granular evidence creates a high degree of non-repudiation, making it virtually impossible for a signer to claim they did not sign the document.

Can I sign documents on a mobile device?

Yes. eSignly is fully mobile-responsive. Signers do not need to download an app or create an account to sign. They simply open the email link on their smartphone or tablet, view the document, and sign with their finger or stylus. It is a seamless experience that works on any device.

What kind of support do you offer if we run into issues?

We believe in human-led support. Depending on your plan, you gain access to our dedicated customer success and technical support teams. Whether you need help with an API integration or have a question about account configuration, our team is reachable via email and chat to ensure your workflows remain uninterrupted.

Can we start with a few users and scale to thousands later?

Yes. Our platform is designed for enterprise scalability. You can start small, and as your needs grow, our team management dashboard allows you to easily add users, create teams, assign permissions, and maintain central control over all organizational document activity without friction.
