Signing documents electronically on a signature pad or tablet closely replicates the traditional handwritten signature on paper.
The advantages of handwritten electronic signatures

It's also one of the most widely familiar forms of electronic signing—most of us have already experienced signing multiple documents electronically when getting car insurance, subscribing to telecommunications services, opening a bank account, or taking out quick financing to buy something we desire but perhaps couldn't afford upfront.

In these processes, speed is crucial. By quickly fulfilling customer's needs, you genuinely place them at the heart of the experience, clearly showing that you value their time and satisfaction.

Let's explore some of the key benefits that handwritten electronic signatures can offer your business.

1. Faster transactions = happier customers

Customers appreciate swift and efficient service. Every second spent waiting could lead them to reconsider—or choose a competitor instead.

With handwritten e-signatures, you can:

  • close agreements immediately, right on the spot;
  • avoid unnecessary printing, scanning, and mailing;
  • deliver a signed document even before shaking your customer's hand;
  • quickly move on to serving the next customer.

2. Overcoming limitations

There are environments—such as logistics or manufacturing—where employees may not have easy access to a work phone or computer.

In these cases, you can obtain the necessary signatures through devices that allow handwritten signatures with a finger or stylus. Immediately after signing, the document is securely sent to both your and your signer's inbox.

3. Say goodbye to paper piles

Paper kills creativity: managing physical documents wastes time, risks damage or loss of documents, occupies space, and involves redundant steps like printing, scanning, and digital archiving.

Electronic signing eliminates this confusion, creating a clean and efficient workflow that frees you from paperwork headaches and allows you to focus on client interactions instead.

4. Robust legal compliance

Every business transaction begins with an agreement that must benefit both parties—and, above all, comply fully with legal regulations.

Electronic signatures via a platform like BetrSign are protected by encryption, compliant with both domestic and international legislation (such as eIDAS ), and leave a secure audit trail that records who opened and signed the document and when.

5. Superior customer experience

In direct, face-to-face interactions with clients, it's crucial to balance personal contact with paperwork demands.

Handwritten e-signing will help you:

  • significantly reduce administrative tasks;
  • decrease the likelihood of errors;
  • serve more customers in less time;
  • provide a superior user experience overall.

Using handwritten electronic signatures on tablets or mobile devices gives you a competitive edge whenever you meet customers face-to-face or when remote e-signing simply isn't feasible.

Who doesn't want faster deals, optimized document workflows without manual labor, guaranteed legal compliance, happier customers, and empowered employees?
