5 Ways to Win with Electronic Signatures

Did you know that you can capture signatures using digital and online forms? 

With GoFormz, you can easily add Signature fields to your digital forms, allowing users to enter their signature directly from their phone, tablet or computer. These electronic Signatures can even be made Required, ensuring approvals are entered before a form is submitted. This simple functionality not only enforces signature capture, but also accelerates critical approval processes (like sales agreements and change orders) as submitted forms are instantly available for review and processing. 

Your forms can even be shared with and completed by individuals outside of your GoFormz account, leveraging the Public Forms feature. This means that a link to your digital forms can be shared via email, posted to your company’s website, or accessed via QR code. Once a Public Form has been submitted, it is immediately available for review – meaning your team no longer needs to wait on hand-delivered forms, snail mail, faxing, and other cumbersome, time-consuming processes. 

Electronic Signature capture has helped countless businesses achieve faster contract bidding, patient intake, budget modifications, and so much more. Check out five of the ways to win with electronic Signatures below: 

Accelerate sales contracts, bidding, and invoicing with electronic signatures

Electronic Signatures have become an essential tool for sales teams across every industry – allowing representatives to collect approvals and authorizations from clients anywhere, at any time. With fewer obstacles to approval (e.g. the delivery of paper documents, reprinting documents with errors, illegible information, etc.) electronic Signatures can be easily collected, reviewed, and processed, allowing your operation to reap the rewards of faster bidding and approvals. Your customers can also benefit from electronic Signature capture, which requires less paperwork, presents fewer delays, presents a more professional interface, and saves them time.

Simplify patient intake 

Leveraging electronic Signatures within your healthcare forms can significantly accelerate patient intake processes. With digital forms, patients can access intake forms online, prior to their appointment, allowing them to input their information and signature ahead of time. With instant access to patient signatures, healthcare providers can collect and process information faster, allowing them to focus on patient care, rather than paperwork. These electronic Signatures can also be used to gather parent/guardian consent, authorizations from healthcare providers, and more. 

Waivers, permission slips, and release forms

Adding a Signature field to your operation’s waivers, release forms, and permission slips can drastically streamline the collection of authorizations from individuals anywhere. By sharing a link to your forms, customers, participants, students, and patients can easily enter their information, input their signature, and submit their form from any location – eliminating delays resulting from form delivery, postage, and other manual processes. Input Signatures can then be easily referenced when addressing disputes or miscommunications regarding agreed upon services and activities, protecting your business. 

Inspections, compliance, and safety reviews

Missing a signature within an inspection can result in return trips to job sites, warehouses, and other secondary locations, wasting time and other resources. With electronic Signatures, your team can easily complete and reference inspections, safety documents (like Toolbox Talks) and compliance forms, straight from their device. These Signatures can even be made Required, ensuring the user’s autograph has been input prior to submission. For teams working in remote locations, electronic Signatures can be completed and submitted while offline, and uploaded to the Cloud once a signal has been regained. 

Employee hiring, onboarding, and HR

Hiring and onboarding employees requires an onslaught of paperwork and approvals, making it difficult to efficiently track and reference submitted signatures and documents. With digital forms and signatures, job applicants and new hires can easily enter their information and signature for immediate review and processing. Leveraging an Automated Workflow, completed forms can even be instantly routed to Human Resources, supervisors, and more – streamlining communication. If an employee is in violation of a contract or company policy, submitted forms and signature can be easily referenced when pursuing a resolution.
