SmartDocs digitizes signatures in trade businesses: quotes and order confirmations are confirmed via a signing link on the customer's phone, and acceptance reports are signed in [kiosk mode](/en/in-person-signing/) right at the job site, even if the customer has no email address.

## Typical documents and signature levels

- Quote and order confirmation: SES, confirmed via signing link before materials are ordered.
- Acceptance report: SES on site in kiosk mode, with documented identity verification. Acceptance of completed work has no form requirement.
- Change order and additional work order: SES, sent straight from the job site.
- Maintenance contract: AES with SMS code for stronger evidential value.

## How it works

1. Send the quote as a signing link; the customer signs on their phone.
2. Create change orders on the go from a template and send them afterward.
3. Acceptance at the job site in kiosk mode on the tablet; the sealed PDF with audit trail is in your account immediately.

## Matching features

Kiosk mode via the Kiosk App on iPad or Android tablets (included in every plan), reusable templates, automatic reminders instead of chasing customers by phone. Sending and status checks run in the browser, even from a smartphone in the van.

## Costs

The Free plan (5 signature requests per month) is permanently free and already includes in-person signing. The Pro plan for €25 per seat per month removes the request limit and adds identification by SMS code (AES), cancel monthly. Details under [Pricing](/en/pricing/).
