A Workflow Platform Built for Where Your Work Actually Happens

DottedSign is more than an e-signature tool — it's a mobile-first workflow platform that keeps approvals, documentation, and collaboration moving between job sites and back-office teams, without waiting for anyone to be at a desk.

Mobile Workflow Challenges Field Teams Face Every Day

  • Approvals stall in email while crews wait in the field

  • Paper forms get lost, damaged, or delayed on the way back to the office

  • No visibility into where a document is stuck in the approval chain

  • Office-centric e-signature tools weren't built for spotty jobsite connectivity

  • Manually re-keying field data creates errors and compliance gaps

  • Disconnected tools leave audit trails incomplete across distributed teams

Frequently Asked Questions

How is DottedSign different from Adobe Sign for field service teams?

-

DottedSign is built as a mobile-first workflow platform, not just an e-signature tool. Field crews can sign, approve, and route documents directly from a job site, while automated workflows keep the office in sync — without waiting for anyone to be back at a desk.

Can field technicians sign documents without a reliable internet connection?

+

Yes. DottedSign's mobile experience is designed for field conditions, letting technicians complete signatures and forms on-site even with limited connectivity.

Does DottedSign support multi-step approval workflows across field and office teams?

+

Yes. You can configure sequential or parallel approval routing between field supervisors, project managers, and back-office reviewers, with automatic reminders at every step.

Is switching from Adobe Sign to DottedSign difficult?

+

No. DottedSign works with the PDF forms and templates you already use, so most teams can switch without rebuilding their document workflows from scratch.

Are DottedSign approvals and signatures legally binding?

+

Yes. DottedSign meets recognized e-signature standards, and every action is time-stamped and recorded in a tamper-evident audit trail.

What kinds of field operations documents can DottedSign handle?

Service reports, inspection forms, customer sign-offs, compliance documentation, work authorizations, and project approvals are all commonly managed through DottedSign workflows.

Can DottedSign scale across multiple job sites, crews, or business units?
