Introducing Dropbox HelloSign

Dropbox HelloSign is an end-to-end solution that allows you to create, distribute, sign and store documents, no matter where your co-workers are.

With a seamless user interface, easy-to-use admin controls and top-grade security, this is an intuitive way for modern businesses to send and request electronic signatures to employees, prospects, customers and partners. 

Improve efficiency with Dropbox HelloSign

According to research from PEGA, Employees switch between 1,100 apps per day. Plus, remote working has grown by 159% in the last 12 years. Both these factors contribute to a reduction in productivity, collaboration and efficiency. Manual processes are subject to human error. Furthermore, physical paper processes are time-consuming and delay project sign-offs, contract signing and hiring employees. 

Think about how many steps you need to take to get something signed off. For example, you need to create the document, get input, edit the amendments, print it off to sign, get it signed and maybe scan it back into the computer for storage. An eSignature solution eliminates some of these manual tasks and provides a way to speed up document turnaround. 

In business, time is money. So, speeding up or automating your workflows will help improve efficiency, productivity and profits.

How does HelloSign work?

Within the platform, it asks you to choose who needs to sign your document. Then, select Just Me, Me and Others or Others. You can then drag and drop fields to indicate where you would like people to sign, tick, date or type, etc. Then, assign each signature field to whoever you want to fill it out. When it comes to your turn to sign, you can save your signature in a way that is easiest for you. For example, a typeface, handwritten or an uploaded image. Set email reminders to nudge people to remember to sign your documents and track who has signed. Get people to sign your documents in the intended order of sign off automatically. You can then store your documents in a secure place.
