Document Infrastructure, Not Just an eSignature Button

FMCG trade runs on thousands of merchant applications, trade term sheets, and distributor renewals a year. The DottedSign API lets your engineering team embed signing, webhooks, and status tracking directly into the systems that already run trade operations, instead of routing users out to a separate signing app.

Manual Trade Agreement Approvals Are Slowing Down Your Trade Operations

Merchant applications and trade term sheets are signed on paper, then re-keyed into ERP and CRM systems by hand
Distributor agreement renewals pile up every cycle, with no automated trigger to route them for signature
Trade terms negotiated over email create version mismatches between manufacturer and distributor systems
Engineering teams have no self-serve way to test signing workflows before committing to an integration
Approval status lives in someone's inbox instead of a webhook your systems can react to
