The challenge:

emonitor aims to digitise the entire rental and purchasing process, so the integration of electronic signatures into the company’s software offering was a logical and necessary next step.

The security and simplicity of the electronic signatures were particularly important, as well as a good, fast and successful integration of the eSigning solution into the melon.sale sales solution.

Both the privacy-first approach of Certifaction’s electronic signatures, which protects documents and data in particular through local processing on the customer side and end-to-end encrypted transmission, and the team convinced emonitor.

The development and product teams worked closely and efficiently together to successfully complete the integration in just a few weeks. In the process, emonitor was able to fully rely on Certifaction – the team was always obliging and supportive in the event of problems.

The results

Happy emonitor clientele

The advantages for emonitor’s customers are obvious: digital signatures in the property sector speed up the letting and sales process and make life easier and less complicated for everyone involved, both prospective tenants and property marketers and managers.

Digital contracts can usually be signed within a day, whereas the analogue process can take weeks. This is because the contracts have to be sent by post to several parties involved, signed by them, sent again, then scanned and finally archived.

Sign quickly, easily from everywhere

Cost savings on labor, postage & paper

At the same time, emonitor reaffirmed its role as a driver of digitalisation in the property market with the new feature.

With the software extension, emonitor remains attractive and offers existing and new customers another – innovative – digital solution. This creates user loyalty and gives it a clear advantage over the competition.

FAQs

Our answers to the most frequently asked questions

Are Certifaction's eSignatures legally valid?

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).

What is the Zero Document Knowledge technology and what are the advantages?

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.

Is there a white-labeled version of Certifaction?

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.

How much integration work is involved?

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.

Why should I choose Certification over an on-premises solution?

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.

What makes Certification stand out from the competition?

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:

maximum security through Zero Document Knowledge
innovative features such as the Digital Twin (making digitally signed documents verifiable even when printed out), bulk signing, Teamspaces (rooms with shared signature processes) and guest signatures without registration
Signature requests in under a minute and smooth onboarding in just 15 minutes thanks to intuitive operation
smooth identifications without app download within a very short time
a recommendation score (NPS) of +90
