Get to know the customer

Goldenkey is a cloud-based CRM software for estate agents and property managers that was developed in Switzerland. Speed and efficiency in letting and sales as well as intuitive operation are the cornerstones of the software developed in-house by the company, which was founded in 2010.

At a glance

Goldenkey introduced Certifaction as an eSignature solution at the beginning of 2024 and integrated it into its own property software. This enabled them to make letting processes much faster and 100% paperless.

The challenge:

Goldenkey wanted to integrate a digital signature solution for rental processes that would allow rental agreements, initial rent forms and the digital handover protocol to be signed 100% paperless. They also wanted to speed up sales transactions with digital signatures. The solution needed to be secure and easy to use. It was important that the solution could be seamlessly integrated into the company’s own software. The good price-performance ratio was also convincing.

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:
