--- title: "Electronic signature for quotes and contracts | attendo" description: "Send quotes and contracts for e-signature from their record, with sequential sealing, recurring signers and envelopes that close with the last signature." url: "https://attendo.me/en/modules/esign" lang: "en" --- # The contract gets signed from its record You send the quote or the contract for signature without leaving the document. You follow each envelope from the Signatures entry in the menu, and it closes when the last signer signs. - From the document’s record - Recurring signers - All your envelopes in one list ## attendo eSign: what it does ### Sent for signature from the record The quote or the contract goes out for signature from the document itself. You do not download a PDF to upload it to another platform: everything goes out from the document that asked for it. ### Sequential sealing Signatures are sealed in sequence, one after another, and the envelope closes when the last signer signs. You know where each envelope stands without asking anyone. ### Recurring signers A customer’s general manager or your own authorized signatory sign often. You save them as recurring signers and never retype their details for each envelope. ### Every envelope in view Envelopes have their own menu entry, Signatures, which brings together those sent, those awaiting signature and those already closed. No one chases a signature by email without knowing whether it arrived. ### Signature level, in writing Advanced or qualified signature, with sealing by a qualified trust service provider. Which level your plan covers, and which documents it is enough for, we confirm in writing before you sign up. ### Fingerprint on the blockchain The fingerprint of every signed document is stored on the blockchain, as is that of its timeline events and evidence. So you can prove the document has not changed since it was signed. ## Step by step This is how it is used day to day, on the same document as the rest of the modules. ### Step 1 · Prepare the document The quote or the contract, with its print template and your branding. ### Step 2 · Choose who signs Signers from your customer or from your company, or from your list of recurring signers. ### Step 3 · Send it from the record The envelope goes out from the document and appears in the envelope list, where you follow its status. ### Step 4 · It closes with the last signature Signatures are sealed in sequence and the envelope closes when the last signer signs. ## It fits every area Industry solutions [attendo CRM](https://attendo.me/en/crm) [attendo After-Sales](https://attendo.me/en/after-sales-service) [attendo Field Service](https://attendo.me/en/field-service) [attendo Projects](https://attendo.me/en/projects) [attendo Flows](https://attendo.me/en/flows) [attendo Compliance](https://attendo.me/en/compliance) ### Industries that use it - [Facility maintenance and services](https://attendo.me/en/industries/facility-maintenance): Preventive work schedules itself and closes on site - [HVAC and refrigeration](https://attendo.me/en/industries/hvac): Technicians work offline and close on site - [Repair and after-sales service](https://attendo.me/en/industries/after-sales-repair): Warranty or quote, before the visit - [Equipment manufacturers and distributors](https://attendo.me/en/industries/equipment-manufacturers): A CRM that knows what you sell - [Testing, inspection and laboratories](https://attendo.me/en/industries/testing-inspection): Signed certificates, inspections on site - [Contractors, construction and engineering](https://attendo.me/en/industries/contractors): Bids you can track and get signed - [And any other business](https://attendo.me/en/industries): attendo can be set up for any line of business.

It depends on the level you use: advanced or qualified signature, with sealing and evidence. We confirm in writing which signature level covers each case. ### How do I get it? It is a module you turn on when you need it, and it works with credit bundles. We detail how many credits each signature uses in the proposal. ### Does your customer need an attendo account to sign? No. Whoever has to sign can do so without being an attendo user. ### Is it the same as the signature on the technician’s phone? No. That is the on-screen signature in the checklist, with a timestamp, author and document lock. To sign a contract or a quote with stronger guarantees, there is eSign. ### Does it work together with web quotes and payments? Yes. The customer accepts the web quote, pays the deposit with attendo Pay and signs with eSign, all from the same document. ## Try it with your processes We will show it to you with your own document types and the way you work.
