Quick Sign

• Collect your eSignatures with or without an audit trail. Docubee’s audit trails archives when and where a document was signed, and by whom.
• Create a password when preparing your document, and the signer will have to enter the password to access and sign the document. This is a great way to add an extra layer of security to any documents sent. (Contact us for more information.)
• Require SMS 2FA from signers.
• Extend the compliance of Docubee’s legally-binding eSignatures with the ability to request location data from signers’ web browsers when they complete an eSignature task. So, we’ve added geolocation, tamper-proof documents, and encryption at rest and in transit. (Contact us for more information.)
