Key Features

jSign offers a variety of key features that help those in transportation streamline document workflows and improve the efficiency of day-to-day operations.

Security is a priority, which is why the jSign platform utilizes several modern security measures to protect your documents from tampering.

jSign lets you draw a digital signature, type a digital signature, select from predefined signatures, or upload an image that contains a handwritten signature. Options are perfect for a team that requires flexibility.

Have documents that are used on every shipment? Create templates to streamline routine paperwork and save time. With templates, you upload a document, add signature lines and more, then save it to use as often as you need. Skip the setup process and get straight to signing.
