Field Documentation Shouldn't Stall the Line
Capture inspections, maintenance approvals, and outage documentation from any device. DottedSign keeps electric, water, and gas utility field operations and compliance teams moving with mobile-ready, audit-ready workflows — no lost paperwork, no compliance gaps, no waiting on the office, and no guessing where an approval stands.
Paper Forms and Manual Approvals Are Slowing Down Your Field Teams
Paper inspection and maintenance forms get lost or delayed between field crews and the back office.
No real-time visibility into outage restoration status or compliance sign-off leaves supervisors guessing.
Manual approval routing slows down time-sensitive outage and maintenance work when every minute counts.
Inconsistent documentation practices across regions and districts make audits harder than they need to be.
Compliance and audit risk grows when signoffs are missing, delayed, or impossible to trace.
Contractor onboarding paperwork slows down field deployment right when crews are needed most.
When signoffs are missing or delayed, that's exposure — for regulators, insurers, and your own internal safety reviews.

Mobile Field Documentation Capture
Field technicians document inspections, maintenance work, and outage issues directly from a phone or tablet, on-site, without waiting to get back to the depot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can field technicians document inspections and maintenance work from a phone or tablet?
Yes. DottedSign works fully on phones and tablets, so field technicians, inspectors, and contractors can capture and sign documentation directly on-site without returning to an office or depot.
What kinds of utility workflows can be digitized with DottedSign?
Inspections, maintenance approvals, outage restoration documentation, safety checklists, incident reports, and contractor onboarding paperwork can all move through DottedSign's mobile-ready, trackable workflows.
Can we set up multi-step approval and compliance sign-off?
Yes. You can define a routing sequence so a record moves from field technician to supervisor to compliance reviewer automatically, with each step's sign-off captured in order.
Does DottedSign provide an audit trail for regulatory compliance?
Every record signed through DottedSign includes a time-stamped, tamper-evident audit trail showing exactly who reviewed and approved what, and when — ready for regulators, insurers, or internal audit.
Can we standardize documentation across multiple regions or districts?
Yes. DottedSign supports the same workflow template across every region or district your utility operates in, and is available in multiple languages so field teams and contractors can work in the language they're most comfortable with.
How quickly can our field teams start using DottedSign?
Most utility field teams are up and running within days, not months. Existing forms can be uploaded directly, and mobile-ready workflows mean crews and contractors can start documenting from day one.
Do our existing inspection and compliance forms work with DottedSign?
Yes. You can upload your existing PDF inspection, maintenance, or compliance forms directly, with no reformatting required, and add signature, date, and approval fields exactly where you need them.
Do contractors and vendors need a DottedSign account to sign field documentation?
No. Contractors, vendors, and other outside signers you invite can review and sign documentation without creating a DottedSign account, so onboarding new field partners doesn't add extra setup.
Are electronic signatures on utility field documentation legally binding?
Yes. Electronic signatures are legally binding under the U.S. federal ESIGN Act and equivalent electronic transaction laws in most jurisdictions. DottedSign signatures carry the same legal weight as wet-ink signatures for inspection, maintenance, and compliance records.
Does DottedSign integrate with the asset management or GIS systems we already use?
DottedSign supports API integration so you can connect field documentation workflows with your existing asset management, GIS, or work order systems, reducing duplicate data entry between platforms.
