Bulk Send
Send thousands of identical shipping documents to multiple recipients using templated fields, reducing manual distribution. Useful for invoices, shipping notices, and carrier acknowledgements with tracking and status updates.
signNow and similar eSignature platforms create records that meet U.S. electronic signature laws such as ESIGN and UETA when proper authentication and intent are recorded. For shipping documents, maintaining signed records and audit trails supports contractual enforceability and regulatory obligations.
Responsible for reviewing and approving shipping documents, the Logistics Manager uses signNow to send manifests and collect signatures, and relies on vTiger for order status and customer data. They configure templates, review audit trails, and work with IT to ensure integration aligns with dispatch and billing cycles.
The System Administrator manages account settings, authentication, and integrations between signNow and vTiger. They set role-based permissions, configure webhooks and API keys, monitor security logs, and coordinate with compliance teams to maintain retention, backup policies, and legal agreements such as BAAs when handling regulated shipping data.
Send thousands of identical shipping documents to multiple recipients using templated fields, reducing manual distribution. Useful for invoices, shipping notices, and carrier acknowledgements with tracking and status updates.
Create reusable shipment templates for bills of lading, customs forms, and carrier agreements. Templates centralize fields like tracking numbers and Incoterms so teams maintain consistency and speed across repeated shipping transactions.
REST API enables automation, allowing systems like vTiger CRM or warehouse management to generate and send signature requests programmatically, handle callbacks, and retrieve signed documents for archival and compliance.
Comprehensive audit trails capture timestamps, IP addresses, and signer actions to support legal admissibility and internal compliance reviews for shipping contracts and delivery confirmations.
Granular permissions let administrators define which users can create templates, send documents, or access signed records, aligning with shipping department roles and separation of duties.
Native connectors and integrations with cloud storage, CRMs, and productivity apps streamline document flow between vTiger, Google Workspace, and file repositories used in logistics processes.
Install the signNow add-on to send documents for signature directly from Docs, generate signed copies back into Drive, and auto-populate templates using document content and CRM fields to reduce manual transfers.
Use the vTiger integration to push customer and order data into signNow templates, trigger signature requests from CRM workflows, and automatically attach signed documents to the corresponding CRM record for auditability.
Automatically save signed documents to specified Dropbox folders, maintain folder structures by shipment or client, and use Dropbox for long-term archival and sharing with logistics partners.
