ZertES and eIDAS-compliant Signing and Sealing

The Trust Layer for Your Digital Business

Expand your portfolio with scalable electronic signatures, seals, certificates and trust-service infrastructure.

Enable your customers to sign, seal and automate legally valid digital processes directly inside your platform, application or service offering.

Expand your portfolio. Grow your revenue. Delight your customers.

Software providers, system integrators, resellers, consultants and platform providers are under increasing pressure to offer more value to their customers.

Across industries, organisations want to digitise contracts, approvals, customer journeys, compliance processes and document workflows. But building and operating a compliant trust-service infrastructure requires legal expertise, certificate management, identity handling, security architecture and long-term scalability.

SIGN8 gives partners the infrastructure to offer ZertES- and eIDAS-capable signing and sealing processes without building their own trust-service stack.

With SIGN8, partners can integrate electronic signatures, qualified signatures, electronic seals, certificates and trust workflows directly into existing platforms, portals, CRM, DMS, ERP, HR, legal, industry or workflow systems.

Your customers stay in your environment. SIGN8 powers the trust layer in the background.

The challenges for software providers and digital service partners

Digital trust is becoming business-critical across every industry

Building trust where digital processes create value

Whether your customers operate in finance, insurance, public sector, healthcare, legal, HR, real estate, energy, manufacturing or professional services, the same challenge appears again and again:

Important processes are still interrupted by manual signatures, disconnected tools, unclear legal requirements and fragmented trust-service providers.

For partners, this creates a major opportunity. But it also creates complexity.

Compliance complexity

  • Different legal standards apply depending on country, document type, risk level and industry.
  • Swiss and EU processes require different trust-service approaches.
  • Customers need legally reliable workflows without having to understand every regulatory detail.
  • You need a solution that can support ZertES- and eIDAS-processes.

Technical integration effort

  • Customers do not want another standalone signing tool.
  • Platform switches reduce conversion, adoption and user satisfaction.
  • Disconnected systems force manual data transfers and create errors.
  • Integrations into CRM, DMS, ERP, HR, legal, public-sector or industry systems are often complex.
  • Building signing, sealing and certificate workflows from scratch requires specialist expertise.

High operational costs

  • Developing your own trust-service infrastructure is expensive.
  • Certificate management, identity handling, auditability and support create long-term operational effort.
  • Scaling from low-volume signing to high-volume transactions can become unpredictable.
  • Maintaining multiple providers increases cost and technical overhead.

Missed revenue potential

  • You own the customer relationship but cannot monetise trust-service demand.
  • Generic tools take the customer out of the partner ecosystem.
  • Separate tools weaken the customer experience and reduce process control.
  • You lose upsell potential around workflows, compliance, certificates, integrations and managed services.
  • Customers increasingly expect trust services as part of modern digital platforms.

One infrastructure for all signature and trust-service needs

We enables partners to extend their offering with electronic signatures, qualified signatures, electronic seals, certificates and trust-service workflows from one scalable infrastructure.

Instead of sending customers to a third-party signing platform, partners can embed trust services directly into their own applications, portals and service offerings.

With a Trust Center Infrastructure, partners can offer secure certificate management, identity-related trust processes and high-volume signing or sealing workflows, including deployment options for controlled and high-performing environments.

Then let’s discuss what a collaboration might look like in practice. We look forward to learning about your needs and working with you to develop the right partnership model.

Use cases for software providers, system integrators and platform partners

Embedded signing for SaaS platforms

Problem: Your customers need legally valid signatures inside your software, but external signing tools interrupt the user journey and weaken your platform experience.

Solution: Embed signing workflows directly into your SaaS platform using APIs.

Result: Your customers sign documents inside your application, while you add a valuable trust-service feature to your portfolio.

Trust services for system integrators

Problem: Clients ask for digital signature and sealing capabilities as part of larger transformation projects, but building compliant trust infrastructure is complex.

Solution: Use the trust-service infrastructure as layer for client portals, enterprise workflows, DMS, ERP, CRM or industry-specific applications.

Result: Deliver complete digital processes faster and create additional revenue through integration, implementation, support and consulting.

Embedded partner offerings

Problem: Resellers and platform providers want to offer signature services without sending customers to generic third-party tools.

Solution: With the Signing APIs you can use signing, sealing and certificate workflows as part of your own service or platform experience.

Result: Keep the customer relationship, strengthen your brand and create recurring revenue from trust services.

Digital approval and workflow automation

Problem: Customers still rely on manual approvals, email attachments, printed documents and disconnected workflow steps.

Solution: Integrate advanced and qualified electronic signatures into approval chains, role-based workflows and multi-party signing processes.

Result: Faster decisions, fewer manual steps, better traceability and stronger process control.

Automated document sealing

Problem: Organisations need to prove authenticity and integrity of documents, records, datasets, certificates, reports or platform-generated outputs.

Solution: Use electronic seals and qualified electronic seals to automatically protect documents and data records at scale.

Result: Reliable proof of origin, stronger auditability and automated trust for recurring digital processes.

Identity-based trust workflows

Problem: Customers need structured management of digital certificates, identities, roles and permissions, but often lack the infrastructure to do so.

Solution: Use the trust-service infrastructure to support certificate-based processes, organisational verification and role-based trust workflows.

Result: Partners can offer advanced trust services beyond simple e-signatures.
