What if the customer has no email address?

That is exactly what kiosk mode is for: the signature is given directly on your tablet. The signed copy can then be printed or sent to any email address.

Do my installers need an app or training?

No. SmartDocs runs in the browser. The request is prepared at the office or on the road, and on the job site all that is left is handing over the tablet.

What does it cost for a small business?

The Free plan is permanently free and already includes 5 signature requests per month and in-person signing (kiosk mode). If you need more requests or want to identify signers on site by SMS code, switch to the Pro plan for €25 per seat per month, and you can cancel monthly.

For trade businesses

From quote to acceptance: signatures without the paperwork

Customers confirm quotes on their phone, and acceptance reports (Abnahmeprotokolle) are signed right on the job site. No carbon copies, no lost slips, no follow-up calls.

Typical documents

Which document, which signature level?

Most documents in a trade business have no form requirement. What matters is clean documentation, and the audit trail delivers it at every level.

Document	Signature level	Note
Quote and order confirmation	SES	The customer confirms via signing link before any material is ordered.
Acceptance report	SES in person	In kiosk mode on the tablet, with documented identity verification.
Change order and additional work	SES	Put extra work in writing before the job continues.
Maintenance contract	AES	For ongoing obligations, the SMS code strengthens the evidential value.

Which level for what? See the overview on the page Signature levels, or to dig deeper: How in-person signing works .

Workflow

One job, three signatures, zero paper

Here is how a job runs when the printer gets to stay in the office:

Get the quote confirmed

The quote goes out as a signing link. The customer signs on their phone, and the job is binding before the crew shows up.

Handle change orders on the go

Found extra work? The additional order goes out straight from the job site, created from a template in two minutes.

Acceptance on the job site

The customer signs the acceptance report in kiosk mode on your tablet. The sealed PDF is in your account immediately.

What this looks like in practice: A painting business with four journeymen sends quotes from the office in the morning and has acceptance reports signed at the customer's site in the evening. No quote sits in a mailbox anymore, no report gets lost in the van, and if questions come up, every signature is in the audit trail with a timestamp.

FAQ

Questions from the trades

Yes. Acceptance of work performed has no form requirement, so the simple electronic signature is sufficient. The audit trail documents the time and the parties involved, and in kiosk mode it also records that the identity of the signer was verified on site.
