Why paper-based contracts slow your business down

Print, sign, scan, send – outdated processes cost time, money and business opportunities

Days of waiting

Contracts are printed, sent by post or handed over in person. Until all parties have signed, days or weeks pass – valuable business time is lost.

Lack of traceability

Who signed when? Is this the original or a copy? Without a digital audit trail, there is no complete documentation – a risk in disputes and audits.

Legal uncertainty

Is the scanned signature legally valid? Which signature standards apply? Without clear eIDAS compliance, companies are on shaky ground in legal disputes.

Media breaks everywhere

Contracts are created digitally, then printed, signed, scanned and uploaded again. Every media break increases error risk and slows the process.

No overview of status

Has the contract been opened? Has the recipient signed? Without real-time tracking, senders are left in the dark and must chase by email or phone.

Hidden costs

Paper, printing, postage, archiving and manual administration add up. An average contract process costs companies up to €36 per document – digitally it costs just pennies.

How Docuflair Sign works

In four simple steps – from upload to legally valid signature – in under one minute

1. Upload document

Upload your contract as PDF, Word document or from a template. Drag-and-drop or direct integration with cloud storage like Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox.

2. Place signature fields

Define via drag-and-drop where signatures, initials, date fields and text fields should be placed. Assign each signer their fields – intuitively and in seconds.

3. Send invitation

All signers receive a secure email invitation with a one-time link. No account needed – recipients can sign immediately via browser or mobile app.

4. Sign & complete

Signers place their electronic signature via mouse click, touchscreen or upload. After the last signature, all parties automatically receive the finished, certified document.

Powerful features for seamless signing

Every feature was designed to make the signing process faster, more secure and easier

Multiple signature types

Simple electronic signature (SES), advanced (AES) and qualified electronic signature (QES) – choose the right security level for every use case.

Templates & workflows

Create reusable templates for common contract types. Define signing orders, approval chains and automatic reminders for outstanding signatures.

Real-time tracking

Track in real time whether documents have been opened, viewed or signed. Detailed status history for every document and every signer – accessible at any time.

Audit trail & certificate

Every action is logged with timestamp, IP address and device information. Upon completion, a tamper-proof signature certificate is created – court-admissible and audit-ready.

API & integrations

Seamless integration into existing systems: RESTful API, webhooks and ready-made connectors for Salesforce, SAP, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, HubSpot and more.

What the signature can do technically

The levels and settings actually present in the product

4
PAdES levels

B, T, LT and LTA — up to the long-term validated signature

5
Hash algorithms

SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512

4
Certification levels

from "no changes allowed" to form filling with annotations

4
Stamp options

no stamp, first page, last page or a dedicated signature sheet

PAdES-LTA: will the signature still hold in ten years?

That is the first question a data protection officer or in-house counsel asks — and LTA is the technical answer. The level embeds timestamps and revocation information so the signature stays verifiable even after the original certificate has long expired. For long-running contracts and anything destined for audit-proof storage, that is the difference between "valid at the time" and "still provable today".

Runs on Windows and Linux

Docuflair is cross-platform. The server applications run on Windows Server just as they run on Linux — with an identical feature set, an identical administration interface and an identical data model. Choosing the server platform is therefore a question of your IT strategy, not of the product.

  • Windows
  • Linux
  • macOS
  • Android
  • Browser

Free choice of server platform

Windows Server 2019, 2022 and 2025, or Linux — tested on Debian 12 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and newer. Further distributions on request. Switching platform later is possible without losing configuration or document repository.

No IIS, no Apache

The web server is part of the application (.NET 10). There is no additional server role to install, harden and patch — which shortens deployment and reduces the attack surface.

Workstations of every kind

The client applications run on Windows, Linux and macOS, the mobile app on iOS and Android. Administration and self-service run in the browser — with no local installation at all.

Virtualised or containerised

Operation on Hyper-V, VMware, Proxmox VE and Citrix, as well as in Docker or Podman containers and in LXC. On Linux each instance runs as its own systemd service.
