eSignature
Legally binding electronic signatures with audit trail and signer authentication options for chain-of-custody in shipping price agreements.
Electronic signatures executed with signNow or iSales CRM are generally enforceable under ESIGN and UETA; organizations handling health or education data should evaluate HIPAA and FERPA obligations and configure appropriate controls and business associate agreements where required.
IT Administrators configure integrations, manage API keys, and enforce security controls. They are responsible for onboarding, single sign-on configuration, and ensuring encrypted connections to carrier rate services are maintained.
Shipping Managers assemble rate comparisons, validate data accuracy, and route comparison documents for approvals. They use templates and bulk send features to standardize vendor selection and keep procurement cycles consistent.
