Contracts & e-signature

E-signature software: contracts signed with one link.

With Armiflow’s e-signature software you have any contract signed digitally, created from your template with packages, add-ons and term.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Short, clear answers about this feature. Missing a question? Write to support@armiflow.com.

You create the contract from a template and send your client a link. They read the contract, confirm the consents and sign directly on screen, drawing the signature by hand with a finger, mouse or stylus. With the e-signature software, every contract can be signed without printing, scanning or posting it back. Armiflow stores the evidence and archives the signed PDF automatically.

Your client signs by hand with a finger, mouse or stylus directly on screen, via an online link or in person. Armiflow also stores name, time, IP address, browser, consents and a SHA-256 checksum as evidence and archives the signed PDF. This proves who signed which version and when. Contracts subject to statutory form requirements may additionally need a qualified electronic signature.

It makes sense, for example, for service, maintenance or support contracts between companies for which no particular form is prescribed. There you can have the contract signed digitally with the e-signature software and receive traceable evidence. Your client draws the signature by hand on screen, with no printing or scanning involved.

In addition to the hand-drawn signature, Armiflow records the signatory’s name, date and time, IP address, browser and the consents given. A SHA-256 checksum of the document is added as well. This makes it traceable later who signed which version and when. The signed PDF is archived together with this evidence.

The SHA-256 checksum is a kind of digital fingerprint of the signed document. Even a small change to the content produces a completely different checksum. When you have a contract signed with the e-signature software, this checksum is stored with the evidence so the signed version can be clearly proven later.

Yes. Armiflow bundles several contracts into one link, and your client signs them with a single signature. This is practical when, for example, a main contract and a supplementary agreement are concluded together. The evidence is stored and the signed PDFs are archived, without you having to send documents one by one.

Armiflow’s quote email contains a link labelled “Read & sign”. Your client opens it, reads the quote and contract and can sign the contract digitally without printing anything. Quote and deal are therefore just one click apart, and you do not need to write a second email to get the signature.

Yes. Templates can be stored as Word or PDF files. From these templates, contracts are created with packages, add-ons and term. The template studio can also use AI to create and translate suitable PDF and Word templates. Check new templates yourself before using them for the first time, or have them reviewed legally.

Nothing. Armiflow keeps template versions, so a changed template only applies to new contracts. Contracts already signed stay unchanged and keep their signed PDF with evidence. This lets you develop your terms further without anything shifting retrospectively in earlier deals made with your e-signature software.

Yes. Armiflow is a business platform by Kodlogy Technologies GmbH in Vienna and is aimed at small businesses, agencies and service providers. Its e-signature software is connected to quotes, invoicing and the client portal, so you can have contracts signed digitally without introducing a separate signature tool.

More questions from practice

The EU eIDAS Regulation distinguishes simple, advanced and qualified electronic signatures and also applies in Austria. Anyone researching electronic signatures in Austria therefore usually ends up at eIDAS. In Armiflow your client draws the signature by hand on screen, supplemented by evidence data such as time, IP address and a SHA-256 checksum.

To have a contract signed online, you create it in Armiflow from a template and send the link by email, most easily directly within the quote. Your client opens the link, checks the text, confirms the consents and signs. Afterwards the signed PDF is archived in Armiflow, ready whenever you need it.

Yes. Besides the online link, your client can also sign in person on your device, drawing the signature by hand with a finger, mouse or stylus directly on screen. This suits meetings at the client’s premises or in your office. Here too, Armiflow stores name, time, IP address, browser, consents and the SHA-256 checksum as evidence and archives the signed PDF.

Contracts are created from templates with packages, add-ons and term. This lets you represent, for example, a basic package with optional extras and a fixed contract duration. You do not need to put texts together again for every client, and your client can sign the contract digitally as soon as everything fits.

After signing, Armiflow archives the signed PDF together with the evidence consisting of name, time, IP, browser, consents and SHA-256 checksum. The deal is documented without paper folders and without searching through mailboxes. The contract stays unchanged in this version, even if you adjust the template later.

Armiflow takes clients from quote through order to invoice. The contract with e-signature is part of this flow, because the quote email already includes the “Read & sign” link. This way your client can sign the contract as soon as they have read the quote, with no additional tool and no separate e-signature software.

Yes. Contract templates contain packages, add-ons and term. In Armiflow’s product catalogue, terms from monthly to 3 years are possible, with automatic recurring invoices. Contracts and subscription services complement each other for recurring services such as maintenance, hosting or ongoing support.

Yes. The evidence contains the name, date and time of the signature, IP address, browser and the consents. Together with the SHA-256 checksum and the archived PDF, this creates traceable documentation. If you use e-signature software like Armiflow, you can later prove which version was accepted.

Armiflow stores the consents your client confirms when signing, together with name, time, IP and browser in the evidence. This documents which points your client agreed to. If necessary, have your contract texts and the associated consents reviewed legally before you start using them with clients.

Whatever is to hand: a finger on a smartphone or tablet, a mouse on a computer or a stylus on a touch device. The signature is drawn by hand, just like on paper. This works via the online link just as it does in person on your device. Armiflow stores the evidence and archives the signed PDF.

With e-signature software for businesses, printing, signing, scanning and posting back all disappear. Your client opens the link, reads and signs whenever it suits them. With Armiflow you have a contract signed digitally and the signed PDF with evidence archived immediately, instead of waiting for the post.

Yes, via the template studio. There, the AI creates suitable PDF and Word templates and translates them. Check translated contract texts yourself before using them, or have them reviewed legally, because the exact wording matters in contracts, especially with clients abroad.

Armiflow AI works in the chat with all features of the system on behalf of the signed-in user. You can ask the assistant about a client’s contracts, for example. Actions involving clients, money, deletion or approvals always wait for your confirmation in the chat, so nothing happens without your OK.

Every company has a separate database schema in Armiflow, access credentials are stored encrypted, and there are daily backups. With two-factor sign-in, roles and custom roles, you decide who in your team has access to what. Signed PDFs are archived with evidence and a SHA-256 checksum in the e-signature software.

A signed contract stays unchanged; template versions and the SHA-256 checksum make sure of that. If you need new terms, you create a new contract from the current template and have it signed again. This keeps every version clearly provable, and nobody has to guess which version applies.

Agencies, IT service providers, hosting providers and other companies that regularly conclude similar contracts. They store their templates once and have every new contract signed digitally instead of editing documents individually. This is especially helpful when several contracts are concluded together.

Yes. In the client portal your clients find their contracts, invoices, orders and tickets. Sign-in works via magic link without a password, with two-factor sign-in if required. Nobody has to dig out an old email to reread a signed contract, which saves both sides time and questions.

A pure signature tool only takes care of the signature. In Armiflow, company search, CRM, quotes, contracts, invoicing and the client portal are connected in one system. You do not have to send documents back and forth between programs to get a contract signed and then invoice for it.
