how companies save time

In the age of dematerialization, digitization, teleworking and ever-increasing social distancing, we are less and less forced to meet “The Others” in the world of work. To make matters worse, I decided, in the midst of a pandemic, to set up on my own, to fully play the card of independence and, to a certain extent, that of increased professional solitude. Consequence: digital is more than ever an ally that I must tame. To do this, I found and tested a platform for electronic signature which has many advantages. I tell you!

Among my tasks – if not daily, at least regular – signing quotes and contracts occupies a large place. Whether you are a large multinational or a micro-entrepreneur, this is where the success of your activity depends. My “single-company” therefore needs effective solutions to manage the signing documents.

Simple and fast

It is the spearhead of Docage, the platform that I discovered, the goal of which is to prevent professionals from going to their partners to put a claw on a piece of paper. The first thing that strikes me when visiting the site of Docage, it’s a pleasant and airy interface. I click here and there trying to find my way to my first document signature when, after a few seconds of browsing, customer service asks if they can answer any questions I might have. Not yet, I told myself, eager to make it on my own. In a few moments, I manage to create my organization on the platform, then to integrate the document to be signed. A couple of clicks allows me to create a contact, without forgetting the phone number that will allow me to receive an authentication code.

An intuitive approach for which only a few clicks were necessary. This functional online solution allows the signatory to initial the contract with a simple smartphone and is a simple and functional way to sign documents. The time saved is significant and the efficiency immediate.

I then realized that it was possible for me to prepare my document to be signed without even creating an account. Without any physical exchange or wasted time, thanks to an intuitive and easy-to-use platform, I can finalize the signature of my document.

What legal value?

What is the use of having your documents signed electronically, easily and quickly, if this signature has no legal value? With the electronic signature offered by Docage, your documents are signed, certified and time-stamped. Their legal value is recognized in France, Europe and the United States.

Eager to ensure the legal value of the electronic signature, I ask customer service and also find out about the channel Youtube of the platform. My two sources of information are formal: the signing of my documents has real legal value and the electronic signature on the website of Docage is eIDAS compliant. Electronic Identification Authentication and trust Services is a European regulation on electronic identification and trust services. In other words, I understand that my signature is carried out in full transparency and that I, as my co-contractor, will be able to take advantage of its legal value.

A French and economical solution

This is an element that reassures the Gallic entrepreneur that I am. The data entered on the platform remains in France. Indeed, all site data is stored in France. If they are dematerialized, my documents are therefore never far away and always safe.

For having had the opportunity to compare Docage with other similar platforms, it seems clear to me that it constitutes the best compromise: for a lower cost than with its competitors, the platform offers all the functionalities that professionals need, the interface is pleasant and intuitive ( like the tutorials on Youtube), and the feeling that a technical team is never far to help you is appreciable.
