“We chose Certifaction because of the good product portfolio, the friendly contacts and the fabulous pricing.”
André Sola, Association Board, APSCo Germany
The challenge:
APSCo used to sign all membership applications by hand, which was time-consuming and hard to manage. Membership applications contain sensitive data that should be treated confidentially and comprehensively protected.
On the other hand, the association sets itself the goal of being a role model for the recruitment industry and being able to talk to its members competently about topics such as digitalization. When the legal framework changed, APSCo began looking for a digital signature solution.

The solution
The APSCo team looked at several eSignature tools and opted for Certifaction.
Certifaction stands out with its special security, thanks to the local processing of documents on the customer side and full end-to-end encryption. Document content and the identities of the signatories are therefore optimally protected.
The association was also impressed by Certifaction’s user-friendliness, great customer service and attractive offer.

FAQs
Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions
How is Certifaction different to simple PDF solutions?
The biggest difference is that Certifaction doesn’t rely on simple PDF solutions that have been manipulated and hacked time after time:
- You benefit from blockchain’s superior security has no single point of failure and is virtually impossible to hack.
- You stay in full privacy control, with a solution that is built on privacy-by-design, where your documents don’t have to be uploaded to the cloud but can be locally processed on your device.
In addition, your documents can be instantly verified – in an intuitive way that doesn’t require an instruction manual. And thanks to our Digital Twin solution, you can now also verify printed documents – on any smartphone – and download their digital originals.
Are Certifaction's eSignatures legally valid?
Yes. Our blockchain-based eSignatures are legally valid and support all major global standards (incl. eIDAS, ZertES, UETA, ESIGN).
In addition, you can select the right signature type for your needs: from our cost-effective blockchain eSignature all the way up to qualified blockchain eSignatures (QES).
And did we already mention that they come with a full audit trail that is immutable?
Will my documents be uploaded to the cloud?
No, not necessarily: Certifaction is built on privacy-by-design. This means that all documents can be locally processed on your device – or, if they need to be shared via the cloud (e.g., for eSignature invitations or the Digital Twin), then they are protected with end-to-end encryption and hosted on ISO 27001 certified servers in Switzerland. And as an Enterprise customer, you also have the option to host your documents on your own server.
Is it free to verify a document?
Yes. The verification of both your electronic & printed documents is free.
And did you know that you could also make our verification tool your own (on the Enterprise plan) and embed it in your own web page?
Can I keep my branding throughout the whole process?
Yes, in our Enterprise plan. There you have the option to customize the branding of all signing, certifying, and verifying processes and stay within your brand identity. That also includes our WebApp and your document footers.
