Document Management with Electronic Signatures

Manufacturing in today’s global marketplace often involves approval chains that span multiple signatories across multiple locations. The task of moving the appropriate documents to the appropriate signatory in an efficient and secure manner while maintaining a detailed tracking history can be a challenge with paperbound documents. Delays are often commonplace and security can be easily compromised.

Electronic signature capture breaks the gridlock by automating the approval process. Electronic document management speeds cycle time by instantaneously moving documents through the approval chain, delivering only relevant sections to each signatory and enabling simultaneous delivery to multiple signers when appropriate. Electronic signature capture also generates a detailed, time-stamped document history of the entire approval process.

In production environments, time truly is money. Electronic signature capture greatly reduces cycle time by automating the approval chain, speeding e-signed documents instantaneously on their way without the aid of administrative support. The result: a faster, smoother, better documented and more secure industrial process.
