Signatures stuck in print, scan and post

Digict partnered with a UK-based small business to replace paper-based and manually signed documents with a secure digital signature solution. The company faced delays in contract approvals, client onboarding and internal document management — signing often required printing, scanning or mailing.

The goal was a faster, secure and legally-compliant way to sign that would fit remote and hybrid working, without disrupting the team's existing document tools.

📄
We mapped every signing workflow to find where digital signatures would save the most time.

A compliant solution, wired into existing tools

Digict analysed the client's document workflows, selected a UK-compliant platform and integrated it directly with their cloud document management — then standardised templates and trained the team for a smooth switch.
