Challenges

Approvals and signatures
scattered everywhere.

Without centralized visibility, workflows drag on.Approvals get lost. Signatures have no legal value.

01

Fragmented approvals

Cascading emails, sticky notes, manual sign-off on paper, no single audit trail.

02

Signatures without a standard

Scanned signatures, external DocuSign, physical eIDAS signatures: zero legal consistency.

03

Zero status visibility

Who signed? Who's waiting? How long has the document been stuck? No transparency at the end of the process.

FAQ

Common questions.

Q.01What is the legal value of a native eIDAS signature?

Pactolane offers a Simple Electronic Signature (SES) compliant with the eIDAS regulation (EU 910/2014). It is legally recognized in all EU member states and cannot be denied as evidence in court. The signer's identity is verified by OTP, and every signature comes with a timestamped audit trail.

Q.02Does Pactolane support other signature providers (DocuSign, Yousign)?

Yes, Pactolane natively supports DocuSign, Yousign and Dropbox Sign. You can send directly from Pactolane and the status flows back into your workflow automatically, with no double handling.

Q.03Can I create workflows with automatic escalations?

Absolutely. You can configure rules such as: "If the Head of Legal declines, automatically escalate to the CEO" or "If there is no approval within 3 days, also send the reminder to the supervisor".

Q.04How long does a signature workflow take?

Without a dedicated tool, a signature process often takes around ten days. With our workflows and smart reminders, it can drop to 2 or 3 days. For standard contracts with escalations, it's often 1 day.

Q.05Do you provide audit reports for regulatory compliance?

Yes. The full audit trail (who approved, at what time, from which device, with which proof certificate) is available for export.
