In this blog series, we've been exploring the benefits of eSignatures for different business departments including marketing, sales and finance. This week we discuss eSignature benefits for procurement. 

Every stage in the procurement process relies heavily on documentation and approval. From initial purchase requisition and requests for quotations, through to comparative bid analysis, contracts, purchase orders and goods received notes – each component of the procurement process needs to be clearly read, policy-checked, administered, approved and filed as documents make their way through the supply chain.

In the next in our blog series outlining how different business departments can benefit by using SigningHub, we discuss how electronic signatures can increase marketing team productivity.

In this blog, we discuss the importance of highly secure and efficient electronic invoice systems.
