Support for parent-child organization records lets facilities group sites, buildings, and departments so documents and permissions can be assigned at the correct organizational level.
Granular permissions enable administrators to limit who can edit contacts, send documents, or access signed records, reducing exposure and simplifying role assignment during staff changes.
Bulk sending capabilities allow facility teams to dispatch identical agreements or acknowledgements to many contacts simultaneously while tracking individual completions and signatures.
Pre-built, company-wide templates standardize forms like NDAs, vendor service contracts, and site access releases, reducing preparation time and minimizing errors.
Reporting tools surface signing completion rates, outstanding agreements, and contact activity across organizations to support compliance audits and operational KPIs.
Two-way integration allows facility staff to prepare agreements in Google Docs and send them for signature directly while preserving contact links and metadata in the eSignature system.
Bi-directional synchronization with CRMs enables contacts created during maintenance or procurement to populate facility records, reducing duplicate entry and improving traceability for signed documents.
Native connectors to Dropbox and other storage platforms let teams archive executed agreements in a central repository while maintaining links to the organization and contact records.
Reusable templates streamline recurring facility forms—work orders, NDAs, and lease addendums—allowing bulk sending and prefilled fields tied to organization records.
