A contract moves at the speed of its slowest signer
Contracts wait in inboxes

With BoldSign: the signer opens a link and signs in their browser. See how a contract is sent
Nobody knows who signed
With 3 people on one agreement, you cannot see who has signed. You email each of them and wait.
With BoldSign: one list shows who has opened, signed, or not replied. See how signing is tracked
Scans prove little
A signature scanned into a PDF carries no record of who signed it, when, or from where.
With BoldSign: every signature is recorded and timestamped. See the controls
