Project management made easy with e-signatures
Handling multiple projects and tasks simultaneously is challenging enough. Add in piles of paperwork, wet signatures, and manual approvals, and this work becomes even more cumbersome.
Your digital-first team already uses Zoho Projects to improve productivity and efficiency. Now, use Zoho Sign's widget to incorporate e-signatures into your project management workflow. Send, approve, and track documents directly inside Zoho Projects.
Challenges of manual paperwork in project management
Disorganized collaboration
Projects often involve collaborative work across departments. With manual paperwork, these documents typically have to be processed, sent, and tracked individually. This creates security concerns, increased room for error, constant manual intervention, and scattered workflows.
Scattered workflows
Tracking a high volume of physical documents increases your team's mental load, increases gaps in communication, and can even lead to loss of information.
Slower task progress
A project's progress largely depends on your team's speed. Without automation, the project can stagger, resulting in a much lengthier timeline. This can lead to higher costs and slower document turnaround time.
Increased manual labor
A lack of digitization means human intervention is required at every step to prevent errors. Apart from the increased need for manual labor, this raises major security concerns, especially when working with sensitive information and confidential documents.
