Bulk Send
Send a standardized invoice or agreement to multiple recipients simultaneously to collect signatures or confirmations from several parties with consistent fields and centralized tracking.
Standard templates reduce processing time, ensure consistent tax and rights information, and simplify approvals while enabling secure signed records that satisfy ESIGN and UETA legal requirements.
HR Managers review artist invoices to determine contractor classification, confirm contract compliance, and approve payment in line with company policies. They ensure tax forms are present and coordinate with payroll and legal for any intellectual property or royalty clauses tied to the deliverables.
Contractors or freelance artists submit invoices that list services, dates, deliverables, and billing rates. They may attach work samples or license statements and rely on secure, signed receipts to document payment and usage rights for future engagements.
HR coordinators, accounts payable staff, and procurement specialists commonly manage artist invoices and approve payments.
Coordination among these roles helps ensure invoices are approved, signed, and archived correctly for compliance and reporting.

Store approved invoice and release templates within team folders so HR and hiring managers use standardized language and fields for all contractor engagements.
Define granular access so HR, AP, legal, and managers see only relevant documents and fields, minimizing exposure of sensitive payroll or contract data.
Maintain immutable logs that record every action on the invoice, including views, edits, signatures, and downloads, to support internal audits and compliance reviews.
Enable automated submission and retrieval of invoice data between HRIS, procurement, and accounting systems to speed reconciliation and reduce manual work.
Apply retention rules and archived storage for signed invoices to meet internal recordkeeping and regulatory requirements while controlling access.
Customizable fields for tax IDs, itemized services, licensing terms, and invoice numbers allow HR to capture the exact metadata required for payroll, accounts payable, and legal reviews while maintaining consistent record structures across vendors and departments.
Configurable multi-step approvals let HR set sequential or parallel reviewers, include procurement checks and legal sign-off, and ensure that invoices cannot be paid until required stakeholders have reviewed and signed the document in order.
Electronically sign documents with ESIGN- and UETA-compliant signatures, capturing signer identity, timestamp, and tamper-evident audit trails so HR can verify consent and maintain defensible records for audits.
Connect invoice data to HRIS, payroll, and accounting systems so line items and tax identifiers flow into downstream systems, reducing manual entry and improving reconciliation accuracy across finance and HR platforms.
