Contracts, offer letters, NDAs, waivers, and intake forms all need a signature. Signing services like DocuSign charge per user, cap how many documents you can send, and keep a copy of every agreement you've ever signed on their servers.
|
|
|
|
DocuSeal is an open-source document signing platform. Upload a document, drag signature and form fields onto it, and send it out. Your customers sign from any device, and every completed document comes back to your own Federated Core.
|
|
|
|
