CRM Integration
Sync contacts and deal records to populate proposals and link signed agreements to customer or employee profiles for streamlined recordkeeping and follow-up.
An iPad-first proposal and HR workflow reduces paper handling, shortens approval cycles, and centralizes personnel and contract records while enabling secure, compliant signing wherever work happens.
A technician uses an iPad app to generate on-site quotes, capture scope photos, and obtain signatures from property managers or homeowners. They need offline capability, simple templates, and direct submission to operations and HR when subcontractor agreements are executed.
An HR manager oversees hiring and contractor paperwork, verifying identity, linking signed documents to personnel files, and ensuring retention and compliance. They require role-based controls, searchable records, and exportable audit trails for audits and payroll.
Field technicians, HR administrators, and sales coordinators commonly share these workflows while focusing on different outputs and controls.
Aligning user roles and permissions reduces duplicate work and keeps document ownership clear from creation through archival.
Sync contacts and deal records to populate proposals and link signed agreements to customer or employee profiles for streamlined recordkeeping and follow-up.
