People and workDocuments and e-sign

Generate documents from templates, send them for signature with OTP and keep a sealed, verifiable record.

Documents and e-sign builds documents from templates with merge fields from other Thoshika apps, sends them to signers in a set order, and seals the completed PDF with an audit certificate. Offer letters, quotes, contracts and board papers can be sent from the app they belong to. Completed documents are filed in folders with retention rules, and anyone can check a signed PDF on the public verify page.
