Getting Started with GetSign

Imagine your team is working on multiple contracts, purchase orders, or agreements in monday.com, and you need to send them for signatures, track approvals, and maintain compliance. Manually handling these processes—emailing documents, chasing signatures, and updating statuses—creates inefficiencies, slows down operations, and increases the risk of missing approvals.

Why this problem matters?

Without a system like GetSign:

• Teams waste hours manually managing document approvals
• Signatures are delayed and hard to track
• Legal compliance is compromised without audit trails
• Project and deal timelines suffer due to outdated workflows
