Ascertia provides digital signature solutions that effectively address document approval workflow challenges in logistics and procurement. We support digital transformation initiatives through:
- Streamlined approval processes – Ascertia’s eSignature solutions enable digitisation and automation in the document approval workflow. It eliminates the need for physical paperwork, printing, scanning and in-person signing, significantly reducing workloads while increasing efficiency.
- Centralised collaboration – With Ascertia, multiple stakeholders in logistics and procurement can easily collaborate on documents from anywhere, at any time. Documents can be securely accessed from any device through a cloud-based platform, where signers can review and provide any necessary approvals.
- Security and legal compliance – We prioritise security and compliance with industry regulations by using advanced encryption techniques to protect sensive documents and signatures. Our PKI-based encryption ensures the integrity and confidentiality of documents. Additionally, we adhere to various legal standards through audit trails, time stamps and tamper-evident seals, making signed documents legally binding.
- Customisable approval workflows– Logistics and procurement workflows can be complex, involving multiple approvals at different stages. Ascertia’s eSignature solutions allow organisations to customise the approval workflow according to their unique requirements. Customisation includes defining sequence of approvers, parallel or sequential approvals, and establishing conditional rules to ensure the right stakeholders review and sign documents.
- Notifications and reminders – Ascertia’s digital signature solution provides automations and reminders to keep all parties informed throughout the document approval workflow. This feature helps prevent bottlenecks in the approval process and ensures documents are promptly reviewed and signed. In addition, it removes the need to chase for signatures and improves overall efficiency.
- Integration and compatibility – Ascertia’s solutions integrate with existing systems and applications. This integration facilitates a seamless flow of documents and information between various platforms, eliminating the need for manual data entry and reducing the risk of errors.
