E-signatures for logistics
Logistics depends on signed documents at every stage — carrier agreements, bills of lading, proof of delivery. E-signatures bring these into the digital age, especially for field operations.
Challenges in logistics & transportation
- Drivers carrying paper forms for proof of delivery
- Carrier agreements delayed by postal mail
- Missing or illegible signatures on delivery receipts
- No real-time visibility into which documents are signed
