What do you like best?

We are a travel company that needs to have clients and hotels signing the same contract. We used to have to send it via email and have both parties print, sign and scan/email the documents. This process often took a very long time and a lot of following up. Now, we use Sign Now and it we upload it and send it out one time, and the rest is taken care of for us!

As a small non-profit organization, we appreciate the accountability and protection these documents afford us with our volunteer teams. This service gives us the ability to gather the captured signature of each volunteer entering our Hope Centers and also uploads the completed time-stamped files directly into our google drive for safe-keeping for an affordable price. We appreciate these services greatly as they save us time and energy.
