eSignature
Legally binding electronic signature capture with adaptive signing methods, timestamping, and tamper-evident seals to support claims acceptance and vendor agreements.
Electronic proposals and signatures are enforceable in the United States when executed under ESIGN and UETA standards; insurers should ensure the solution retains an audit trail, provides signer authentication, and supports record retention policies to satisfy regulatory and contractual requirements.
Claims adjusters use proposal templates and mobile signing to document damages and obtain quick approvals; they frequently send estimates to policyholders and coordinate with restoration vendors while maintaining claim notes and evidence.
Contractors generate standardized cleaning proposals with scope and pricing, collect electronic acceptance to begin work, and attach before/after photos to the signed file for billing and warranty records.
