In our latest case study, find out why Somo chose SigningHub to streamline its processes & workflows and shorten the turnaround time of its business contracts.
Business need
Somo's main requirement was to find a solution to decrease document turnaround times and keep track of all outstanding contracts and orders. Compliance and legality were key factors when choosing a solution for its legal department.
The digital agency also needed a secure eSignature solution to enhance its HR and finance workflows, including contracts associated with its numerous contractors.
Somo’s requirements for an eSignature solution were:
- Decrease the document turnaround time
- Keep track of all outstanding contracts and orders
- Provide compliance and legality for use by the legal department
Selection process
After trialling several other eSignature solutions, including the market leader, Somo struggled to find a solution that met all its requirements.
It received a recommendation for SigningHub, noting its secure signing process, ease of use and affordable pricing structure.
Solution
Somo selected SigningHub by Ascertia as the solution to elevate its paper-based signing process.
SigningHub's portal enabled the agency's users to monitor the progress of signing workflow documents and notifies the person delaying the approval process. It provides quick and easy dashboard visibility of the document approval process.
The use of advanced electronic signatures (AES) and SigningHub's unique signing keys prove the identity of each user. This process ensures that signatures cannot be altered and are legally accepted. Document preservation and validity are ensured with PDF/A format support.
Result
After implementing SigningHub's eSignature solution, Somo has dramatically accelerated its signing process. It has enabled the team to approve projects faster and begin work sooner.
Helen Wheeler, Traffic Coordinator at Somo, said: “The transition to SigningHub’s e-signature solution has been very smooth. It’s really improved our signing process and made it much more efficient. It was standard for contracts to take a few days to come back, but now it takes just a few hours.”
SigningHub allows the team to monitor the approval process, reducing the time spent waiting for contracts to be signed and returned. It ensures regulatory compliance and the legality of documentation. Ultimately, Somo has improved the overall efficiency of its contracting and order process.
