Contact Directory
Centralized address book that supports custom fields for facility identifiers, department tags, and vendor classifications, enabling targeted sends and filtered reporting across locations and functional groups.
Electronic signatures managed with compliant eSignature platforms meet ESIGN and UETA requirements when processes capture intent, consent, and an auditable record. For facilities handling protected data, confirm HIPAA or FERPA requirements and choose encryption and access controls accordingly to maintain compliance.
A Facility Admin manages organization units, configures workflows, and oversees contact imports. This role handles permission assignments, approves template creation, and reviews audit logs to ensure operational compliance and efficient handoffs across teams.
An Operations Manager uses assigned templates and workflows to route work orders, manage vendor signatures, and monitor outstanding authorizations. They rely on contact groups to distribute emergency notices and maintain up-to-date vendor credentials and insurance documents.
Centralized address book that supports custom fields for facility identifiers, department tags, and vendor classifications, enabling targeted sends and filtered reporting across locations and functional groups.
Hierarchical units for campuses, buildings, and departments that let administrators scope templates, workflows, and access controls to specific physical locations or operational teams.
Granular permission sets allowing facility admins to manage contacts and signers while restricting operational staff to signing, viewing, or submitting only the documents relevant to their role.

Prebuilt connectors and APIs for CRM, document storage, and maintenance systems that synchronize contacts and organization changes to reduce duplicate data and manual reconciliation.
Comprehensive audit trail capturing user actions, signature events, IP addresses, and document history to support compliance and facility incident investigations.
Two-way sync for templates and documents so facility admins can edit master forms in Google Drive and push updates into the eSignature system while preserving version control and access permissions.

Direct exports to common storage providers for signed documents, with configurable folder rules per organization unit to maintain location-based archives and retention policies.
