From manual processes to digital contract management

Legal departments, trust companies and tax advisors face the same issues: slow approvals, lack of traceability and high administrative overhead.

Weeks-long contract approvals

Contracts travel back and forth between lawyers, clients and counterparties. Every signature requires printing, posting or in-person attendance.

Contract approvals in hours, not weeks

Contracts are sent and signed digitally. No printing, no postal delivery — clients sign the same day via a link.

Lack of traceability

Who signed when? With paper-based processes, proof is missing — a risk in disputes and audits.

Complete audit trail for every signature

Timestamp, IP address, identification proof — every signature is documented in a tamper-proof manner and verifiable at any time.

Compliance risks with international mandates

Different legal systems, deadlines and formal requirements make cross-border contracts error-prone and time-consuming.

Internationally compliant — ZertES and eIDAS

actaSIGN uses Swisscom Trust Services as an accredited trust service provider. Valid in Switzerland and the entire EU.

Document overload in trust and tax

Annual accounts, mandate letters, powers of attorney and tax returns — each document needs signatures from multiple parties.

Automated workflows for less administration

Sequential and parallel signing flows, automatic reminders and templates massively reduce manual effort.

Typical use cases

From mandate letters to tax returns — actaSIGN covers the full spectrum.

NDAs and framework agreements

Non-disclosure agreements, framework contracts and settlements — with QES for maximum legal certainty or AES for standard cases.

Mandate letters and powers of attorney

Trust and advisory mandates, board powers of attorney and corporate agreements — digital, fast and binding.

Tax returns and annual accounts

Annual financial statements, tax forms and audit reports — multiple parties sign digitally, without paper jams at year-end.

Procurement and supplier contracts

Procurement contracts, service level agreements and framework agreements — external partners also sign without registration.

What makes actaSIGN special for legal and trust

Built for industries where legal certainty, traceability and efficiency are decisive.

QES for maximum legal certainty

Qualified electronic signatures are equivalent to handwritten signatures — ideal for contracts with formal requirements.

Parallel and sequential signing flows

Define who must sign first. Client, lawyer, counterparty — in the right order or simultaneously.

REST API for DMS and ERP integration

Connect actaSIGN to your document management or ERP system. Signatures are automatically embedded in existing processes.
