In today’s digital world, where almost everything can be done from a computer or phone, contracts are no exception.
More and more businesses, freelancers, startups, and even individuals are choosing to sign agreements online. But do you really know the advantages of signing contracts online?
In this article, we’ll go over five solid reasons to embrace digital contracts, and we’ll also cover one important downside you shouldn’t ignore.
📌 1. Save time (and money too)
Remember when signing a contract meant printing, scanning, emailing, waiting for replies, and doing the whole thing all over again? With online signing, that hassle disappears.
Signing contracts online can cut down processing time by up to 80%. You can literally close deals in minutes — especially useful if your clients or partners are in another city or country.
Plus, you save money on paper, ink, delivery services, and even fuel. Over a year, those savings can really add up, especially for small businesses or solo entrepreneurs.
📌 2. More security and better control
Some people still think that signing on paper is safer, but that’s not always true. With platforms like Contractualis, your documents are protected with:
- A unique hash for every document
- Blockchain registration (to prove integrity and timestamp)
- A full audit trail showing every action
- Optional identity verification and liveness checks
This means that no one can tamper with the contract after it’s signed. And if needed, you can prove who signed it, when, and from where. On the other hand, paper contracts can be forged, lost, or damaged over time.
📌 3. Sign from anywhere, anytime
Another big advantage of signing contracts online is the freedom to work remotely.
Are you traveling? Is your client abroad? Is your supplier signing from their phone at the airport? No problem.
All you need is an Internet connection. This makes online signatures perfect for today’s mobile and hybrid work culture.
📌 4. Better organization and tracking
Ever lost a contract in a pile of paperwork? Or had a client ask for a copy and you spent 15 minutes searching your inbox? That’s a thing of the past.
With digital contracts, all your documents are organized, centralized, and easy to find. You can search by name, date, signer’s name, or status (pending, signed, rejected, etc.). You can also download or share them in seconds.
This isn’t just more productive — it also makes you look more professional in the eyes of your clients, partners, or investors.
📌 5. Better experience for everyone involved
Nobody wants to deal with complicated signing processes. Your clients and partners will love the simplicity of signing online. Even non-tech-savvy users appreciate avoiding printers, scanners, or trips to an office.
A good e-signature platform provides a smooth, intuitive experience, making it easy for anyone to sign without needing extra help. This accelerates decisions and closes deals faster.
The advantages of signing contracts online are undeniable: speed, savings, security, organization, and a much better user experience.
More and more companies are ditching paper and embracing digital signatures as part of their workflow.
Just make sure to use a secure, legal, and user-friendly platform.
At Contractualis, we offer all of that — plus dedicated support to guide you through every step of the process.
