How Electronic Signatures Improve Contract Completion Efficiency

Securely Capture Payments From Clients Upon Document Completion

Electronic signatures already make document sending extremely efficient and cost effective. However, when it comes to contracts and the need for payment, the process has generally been a separate transaction, with a unified process becoming more widely adopted.

Why is a fully digital payment solution more beneficial to your business?

65% of businesses experience payment delays or failure to collect and 20% of businesses spend more than 10 hours per week chasing payments. Research has also revealed that over three quarters of UK businesses suffer from late and non-payment of invoices.

The cost of late and non-payment to SME’s runs in to billions

The payment giant BACS, which processes millions of electronic business payments every day, found that an astonishing 76% of businesses are being affected by late payments of up to 6 months beyond agreed contract terms.

‘The additional costs directly related to late and non-payment are £8.2 billion annually, or £677 each month for every SME affected. Just under two thirds of this money, 63% is spent on administration chasing late and non-paying customers, costing businesses £5.2 billion every year.’ www.debtadvocate.co.uk

Debt collection can be an unexpected cost contributing to a strain on cash flow and budgets resulting in less efficiency and productivity. This can also take the focus off core business work snowballing into even more loss of time and money.
