Our contract execution process offers you more than just the collection of signed documents. We also capture contract-related data and deliver it to you for dark processing to automate the further processing. Our user interface is particularly user-friendly, as relevant data is displayed on web forms and can be easily checked or filled in by signatories. Recurring data only needs to be entered once, and all necessary documents are provided with an eSignature. In addition, all processing takes place in German data centers and is therefore GDPR-compliant. All these aspects reduce the abandonment rate and lead to more successful contract conclusions.
Yes, this is possible.
Yes, if desired, we can take this requirement into account during onboarding and setup.
Agree&Sign has a standard Rest API that enables easy connection to existing systems such as Microsoft, Salesforce, or SAP. In addition, data (e.g., as JSON, XLSX, or CSV) and documents can be exported on request (e.g., SFTP, Amazon S3, or even by email).
Agree&Sign currently has the following interfaces:
Currently in planning:
A transaction is a completed approval process. A transaction can contain multiple approvals and signatures.
We can currently display the following signatures:
The simple electronic signature (EES) is the lowest eSignature standard and has few requirements. It can be created, for example, by scanning a handwritten signature.
This type of signature is mainly used for informal agreements or in internal company communications. It can be used for orders, contracts, documentation, and protocols. Although the simple electronic signature can be used in court proceedings, it has little evidential value and can easily be contested.
The advanced electronic signature (AES) is the middle signature standard and is created using an electronic encryption process. It has high evidential value in court.
With this signature, it must be possible to recognize whether data in the document has been manipulated after the signature, and the signature must be uniquely assignable to a specific person. This person must also be able to prove that they created the signature and that it meets the relevant security requirements.
Advanced signatures require the use of unique and secret software keys that utilize digital signature procedures. A hash value created by the sender of the document is compared with the hash value of the recipient to verify that the values match.
The advanced electronic signature meets the requirements for electronic form within the meaning of Section 127 of the German Civil Code (BGB) and has evidential value in court proceedings. It is often used for form-free agreements that are not subject to stricter legal requirements.
The qualified electronic signature (QES) is the highest signature standard and has high requirements, such as an encryption method and identity verification by certified bodies. It has maximum evidential value in court and is legally equivalent to a handwritten signature.
In contrast to the advanced signature, the qualified electronic signature additionally requires a certificate from a certification service provider that uses asymmetric encryption methods. To be approved as a signature issuer, a written application must be submitted to a provider, who then verifies the applicant's identity and confirms that they have a public signature key that matches their identity. The certificate is usually valid for a limited period, typically 2–3 years, but for a maximum of 5 years.
According to Section 126a of the German Civil Code (BGB), the qualified electronic signature fulfills the written form requirement and can therefore replace paper documents.
Examples of the use of electronic signatures include electronically transmitted statements for claiming input tax or digital documents from social security institutions that require a qualified electronic signature.
We do not focus on the signature and the document. We collect the data and can map an automated process.
We integrate Agree&Sign into our customers' existing systems. We can provide dark processing. We are a German company and are subject to German law. We are 100% compliant with data protection regulations.
We are currently working on implementing this form of eSignature in the future.
Yes, both advanced and qualified eSignatures are admissible as evidence in court.
The entire process is logged in an audit log. In addition to the respective action, the IP address is also logged.
In addition to the image of the signature, biometric data is also collected and stored. A graphologist can use this biometric data to verify the authenticity of the signature.
With qualified eSignatures, we additionally confirm the identity of the person through an identification procedure.
Yes, this is possible.
Yes, this feature is available and can be configured (number of reminders and interval).
Yes, an internet connection is required.
We offer step-by-step digitization:
In the first step, we guide the customer through a digital registration process in which all data is stored, opt-ins are granted, and the "application" is confirmed by means of an e-signature. If APIs are available, the process can also be started via the Broker Relationship System and the data can already be transferred.
In the second step, Agree&Sign takes over the validation, for example, through a Creditreform query, an IHK validation, and an Avad query.
In the third step, all collected data, documents, and validations are seamlessly integrated into your systems via interfaces.
Based on our experience, we estimate that setting up and configuring the platform will take approximately 1–5 person-days. The setup will be billed according to the time and effort involved and coordinated closely with you. We would be happy to start with a joint workshop to determine your requirements and define an individual target process based on the status quo. This will enable us to provide a much more accurate estimate of the time and effort involved. Please feel free to contact us at any time.
The following customer services are required for quick and successful installation:
When using Agree&Sign to obtain powers of attorney or other contracts, we can retrieve the customer's entire portfolio and provide you with the relevant data. If you have an interface, we can send you the data for dark processing and you can automate the process. This saves you time and money.
Agree&Sign is hosted exclusively on German servers.
