GATE's e-signing sends any PDF for signature: your agent places each signer's boxes, emails a link and a six-digit code, and reminds whoever waits every third day, up to three times. When the last person signs, you get a sealed PDF with a Certificate of Completion listing every signer, method and time, filed where you can find it.
Your agent does the paperwork around the signature. Your signers only open a link.
Send your agent the document and who should sign it: a contract, an NDA, a quote or board minutes.
Your agent puts a signature, name, date or text box for each signer where it belongs, previews the page and checks that nothing covers the text before anything goes out.
Each signer gets an email with a link and a code. No account and no password: they open the document, draw or type their signature and confirm, in any order.
Anyone who hasn't signed gets a reminder every third day, up to three times, and you can nudge someone yourself at any time.
Every signature goes onto the document, followed by a Certificate of Completion. Everyone who signed gets an email, and the sealed PDF lands in your files.
GATE's server enforces them for every request, whether your agent sends it or you do.
If a rule stops a request, it says why.
For contracts, NDAs, quotes and company papers.
The certificate lists each signer's name, email, method and time, plus the SHA-256 fingerprint of the original file, so anyone can confirm which document was signed.
Signers log in with an email link or a six-digit code, see everything waiting for them, sign or decline, and download the sealed copy later.
Open the document mid-way to see the signatures collected so far, stamped NOT FINAL so nobody mistakes it for the signed copy.
Set your logo, your color and a short message for signers. The emails carry your company's name.
Every sealed PDF lands in your files and is indexed, so you or your agent can find a signed agreement by what it says.
Send board minutes from your company papers, and the sealed PDF comes back as a new version of the same document.
Three ways to get a document signed, side by side.
| What you compare | Print, sign and scan | A standalone e-signature service | GATE's e-signing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preparing the document | Print it, sign it, scan it, email it | You place the boxes yourself | Your agent places each signer's boxes and checks that nothing covers the text |
| The signers | Need a printer and a scanner | Open an email link | Open an email link with a six-digit code, no account, in any order |
| Chasing | You follow up by hand | Reminders you set up | A reminder every third day, up to three times, on by default |
| The result | A scanned copy | A signed PDF | A sealed PDF with a Certificate of Completion and the SHA-256 of the original, filed and searchable |
| Stronger signatures | Wet ink | Varies by service | Not yet: BankID, SMS and eIDAS methods are refused rather than swapped for a weaker one |
Tell your agent who signs what, in plain words. It prepares the document, sends it, and tells you who has signed whenever you ask.
Meet your agentsGATE's agent uploads the PDF, places a box for each signer, checks that nothing covers the text and sends it. Each signer gets an email with a link and a six-digit code, opens the document without an account, and draws or types a signature. When the last one signs, GATE seals the PDF and adds a Certificate of Completion.
No. The email link opens the document, and a six-digit code works if the link does not. Signers can come back later to a small GATE portal that lists every document waiting for them, where they sign, decline with a reason or download the sealed copy once everyone has signed.
Under the EU's eIDAS regulation, a signature cannot be refused as evidence just because it is electronic. GATE's drawn or typed signature is the simple kind, which works for most everyday agreements. Some documents need a stronger kind, such as BankID, which GATE does not offer yet, so check what the document requires. This is not legal advice.
Not yet. Drawn and typed signatures are what GATE's e-signing does today. A request that asks for BankID, an SMS code or an eIDAS signature is refused when it is created, instead of quietly collecting a weaker signature than the sender asked for, so nobody ends up with a signature they did not intend to accept.
Each signer gets an unguessable link of their own, and sending a new link cancels the old one. GATE keeps documents separate per company, records every step in an audit trail, including whether each email was accepted, and the certificate carries the SHA-256 fingerprint of the original file, so anyone can check which document was signed.
GATE reminds whoever has not signed every third day, up to three times, and the sender can nudge a signer at any time. If a signer declines, the request stops there, nobody else can sign, and the reason is on the record. A cancelled request that was already sealed stays sealed.
The sealed PDF lands in the company's files in GATE, indexed so a person or the agent can find a signed agreement by what it says. Everyone who signed gets an email when it is done, and board minutes sent from the company papers come back as a new signed version of the same document.
GATE's e-signing does not offer BankID, SMS or eIDAS signatures yet, and the sealed PDF is drawn marks plus a certificate page, not a cryptographic PDF signature. There is no signing order: everyone signs whenever they open the document. The agent does not get a notice when signing completes; it checks the request when asked.
GATE is invite only while GATE Intelligence onboards a small number of businesses at a time. After the invite, hand the agent a PDF and say who signs; a contract drafted in GATE's legal documents tool can be sent straight to signing as a draft request. Set a logo, a brand color and a message for signers if you like.
