DocuSign® is the Global Standard for eSignature™, helping customers securely collect information and payments, automate workflows, and sign anything anywhere, anytime. The Box for DocuSign integration enables joint customers to seamlessly send documents stored in Box for digital signature with DocuSign. Easily create a document, red-line it, share it, send it out for signature with DocuSign, and save it back to Box for secure storage and sharing. And you can initiate all of your document signing activity from directly within Box. There's no need to open up DocuSign separately.
Use DocuSign and Box for any document that requires a signature, such as offer letters from recruiting teams; sales contracts; and signatures for lease agreements, reports, and NDAs. Other examples include:
Some specific use cases include:
- Contracts: Red-line or edit drafts. Collect signatures on the clean copy.
- HR paperwork: Send templated NDAs or extend customized offer letters.
- Field service: Complete checklists and gather signatures from customers.
- Internal approvals: Sign off on marketing collateral, purchase orders, or product management documentations.
