The challenge:

Blinno GmbH wanted to offer its clients the best and most secure solution for electronic signatures on the market. Blinno also uses Certifaction for itself in order to organise its own contract process completely digitally and to avoid the back and forth and legal uncertainty of processing by e-mail.

The integration into the accounting system (Bexio) and CRM monday.com should take place via an interface and be as uncomplicated as possible.

Customer requirements at a glance

  1. Security of electronic signatures is important
  2. Intuitive and versatile for various industries
  3. Quick and easy integration via interface

"The implementation went smoothly, the interface was built in just 3 weeks. We have never had a system failure since go-live. For us as technology enthusiasts, it's also great that new features are constantly being added."

Simon Blickenstorfer, Co-Founder, Blinno

The solution

After thoroughly researching and analysing several eSignature tools, Simon Blickenstorfer and his employees opted for Certifaction. “For us, Certifaction is the best tool on the market. That’s why we use it ourselves and offer it to our customers,” says the co-owner.

Blinno sees the security aspect in particular as being covered by the local processing of documents on the customer side and end-to-end encryption. The zero-document-knowledge approach prevents Certifaction (unlike its competitors’ tools) from gaining insight into the documents. The tool offers Blinno maximum security for both its own contracts and customer projects.

Blinno appreciates Certifaction’s user-friendliness, as the tool is so self-explanatory that it could even be used without training. The construction of an interface with the company’s own system was realised in just a few weeks. Both teams worked closely together as equals. The integration via the API went without any major difficulties.

The Blinno team attaches particular importance to the innovative features, such as the ability to freely define the signature sequence or automatically add signatures on an additional page without having to place all signatures manually beforehand. The Certifaction partner was also impressed by the Teamspaces for holiday and sickness replacements and the digital twin, which makes printed documents forgery-proof and thus builds trust. “We are very satisfied and will remain customers in the long term,” says Simon Blickenstorfer.

FAQs

Our answers to the most frequently asked questions

Yes. Our eSignatures are legally valid and support all major global standards (incl. eIDAS, ZertES, UETA, ESIGN).

In addition, you can choose the signature type that suits you best: from the cost-effective simple eSignature to the qualified eSignature (QES).

Unlike most competing providers, Certifaction offers the option of signing documents without ever seeing their content. The documents are processed locally on the customer side and encrypted when using the web app.

In the case of API integration, a local gateway takes over the encryption. In the event of a hack, the file would therefore be encrypted and unreadable. We also ensure that the documents are stored on ISO 27001-certified servers in Switzerland or an EU country.

Yes, Certifaction offers a customised white label option for partners. This enables the seamless integration of own products such as eIDs and certificates. The white label solution gives partners complete control over the platform. As an integration partner, we help open up new revenue streams and maximise business potential by providing tailored solutions for individual needs.

The Certifaction WebApp can be used immediately in the browser. The eSignature solution can also be integrated quickly via an API connection. Alternatively, the solution can be used as a white label product with full personalisation. Depending on the requirements, this is ready within a few weeks.

Certifaction is a hybrid solution without a complex infrastructure. The connection is established via API or by installing the CLI client. This makes our eSignature solution more flexible and cost-effective than a solution that is operated in your own data centre.

Certifaction is characterised by its innovative technology and clear focus on partnerships. Our customers value us as a trustworthy European partner that not only offers close cooperation and the highest security standards, but also enables the integration of its own products through white label solutions. This opens up new business opportunities and additional revenue streams for our partners. Our solution offers:
