Standardizing proposal delivery and signature capture for banking reduces administrative steps, improves record accuracy, and shortens turnaround for client agreements.
Account managers produce proposals populated from Xero data, customize terms for clients, and route documents for signature. They need an intuitive editor, mobile signing options, and clear status tracking to manage multiple client engagements without manual paper handling.

Drag-and-drop template creation with Xero merge fields lets teams produce consistent proposals quickly, enforce required fields, and reduce errors from manual entry when generating banking documents.
Send identical proposals to multiple recipients with individualized fields; useful for mass fee notices or standard account updates while retaining separate audit records per recipient.
In-app editors and support for common formats preserve layout and legal clauses so proposals render correctly across devices prior to signature capture.
Support for email, SMS one-time passcodes, and ID verification adapts signer authentication level to transaction risk and compliance requirements.
Comprehensive, tamper-evident logs capture signer events, IP addresses, and timestamps for regulatory and legal needs.
Programmatic control for automating proposal creation, status tracking, and archival with event-driven notifications to banking systems.
Sync proposal drafts from Google Docs to convert content into signer-ready PDFs, preserve formatting, and allow collaborative editing before sending for signature. This keeps source documents editable while producing locked, auditable final copies.
Link proposals to CRM records so client data, contact details, and activity history populate proposal fields, improving accuracy and tying signed documents to account records for reporting and follow-up.
Save executed proposals to Dropbox folders automatically for centralized archiving and consistent backup policies, enabling controlled sharing with internal teams and auditors.
Send signed proposals back to accounting systems to update invoices, retainers, or contract records and ensure financial ledgers reflect executed agreements.
