Today, customers expect their product and company interactions to be as frictionless as possible – including when it comes to documentation. Providing the elements of both convenience and productivity are crucial, leading many businesses to prioritize accommodating these consumer expectations.

Workflows matter. When the right steps are in place to comprise a good workflow, it can enable businesses and customers to get more done faster, reach goals with more ease, and maximize overall efficiency. Foxit eSign’s eSignature workflow is designed to provide a seamless workflow experience for all users and signers.

 What Are eSignature Workflows?

In recent years, the workflows and processes of business have changed dramatically to keep up with the shift in consumer expectations and evolving technologies. With this shift, many actions have become digitized to allow for the expansion of services, streamlined functionality, and more widespread accommodation – this is where electronic signature software comes in.

Electronic signature workflows are an essential requirement for businesses to establish effective ways of obtaining signatures and completing digital documents and contracts. When the right eSignature workflow is in place, it not only can help businesses and their customers obtain and provide signatures, but it can manage the entire document completion process from beginning to end.

A successful eSignature workflow will generally have the following base elements in place to automate the signing process:

• Document Creation: During this step, users will upload documents for signature and add data and signing fields as needed. Reusable and premade templates may also be used.
• Document Sending: Prepared contracts, agreements, forms, and other documents are digitally sent to recipients in this step.
• Document Review: Receiving parties are given the means and opportunity to access and review the documents sent for signature.
• Document Signing: Following review, signatories can provide any necessary data, sign, and send it back to necessary parties.
• Document Completion and Storage: Lastly, signed documents are stored for future access and links to completed documents are provided to signing parties.
