For insurance applications, where speed often decides whether a deal closes, this is unnecessary friction. That is why 1Tool comes with a built-in electronic signature feature that lets applications and quotes be signed directly in the system – no additional tool and no paper.",[14,15,17],"h2",{"id":16},"two-signatures-one-process","Two signatures, one process",[10,19,20],{},"The signature feature captures both the company's signature and the customer's signature as image data. Both signatures are linked to the respective application or quote, so the entire signing process – company and customer – can be traced in one place. For insurance applications in particular, 1Tool also stores the time the application was sent (sent_at), the time it was signed (signed_at) and the path to the fully signed document. This means you can prove at any time when an application was sent and when it was actually signed.",[14,22,24],{"id":23},"signing-without-an-account","Signing without an account",[10,26,27],{},"A key point in practice: the application is sent to the customer via a public, unauthenticated signing link. The customer does not need to create a user account, log in or install any additional software to sign. They open the link, review the application and sign it right away – a much lower hurdle than many external e-signature solutions that require their own account setup. For brokers and sales staff, this means fewer follow-up questions, fewer abandoned processes and faster closings.",[14,29,31],{"id":30},"no-external-tool-required","No external tool required",[10,33,34],{},"Because the signature feature is built directly into 1Tool, there is no need to connect a separate service such as DocuSign or similar solutions. The application, the signature and the corresponding timestamps all live in one system. This not only saves licence costs for yet another tool, but also the effort of keeping data in sync between two systems.
