Some contracts are concluded with both parties present: in the showroom, at the practice, at the handover. If your customers sign directly on a tablet, you close the deal while everyone is still in the room. The SmartDocs Kiosk App for iPad and Android tablets turns your tablet into a signing station, including documented identity verification. Your customers need no app of their own, no account and no email address. Kiosk mode is included in every plan, including the Free plan, which costs nothing; the additional confirmation by one-time SMS code is available from the Pro plan.

## Three steps

1. Open the request and verify identity: your employee opens the request in the Kiosk App and checks the signer's identity, for example by looking at their ID. The note goes into the audit trail.
2. Hand over the tablet: the signer reads the document and signs with a finger or stylus directly on the screen.
3. Done: the sealed PDF is in your account immediately. If they wish, the customer gets a copy by email or as a printout.

## Legal validity

A signature made on the tablet is an electronic signature under the eIDAS Regulation; it is sufficient for contracts with no form requirement, which are the vast majority in everyday business. SmartDocs logs every step in the audit trail and cryptographically seals the finished PDF.

## What sets it apart from other providers

SmartDocs records the identity verification by your staff as a separate event in the audit trail. In a dispute, you can prove not only the signature but also that the signer's identity was verified on site.

## Use cases

Car dealerships (purchase contract and handover report at the vehicle), medical practices (consent forms and patient information sheets at the front desk), real estate (viewing reports on site), HR onboarding, branches and retail (service orders and financing at the counter), and consulting and agencies (getting quotes approved during the meeting).
