Seamless Digital Workflows: How Scan2x Integrates with Digital Signatures for Effortless Document Approval
Businesses today are moving away from paper-based processes in favour of fully digital workflows that enhance efficiency and security. A key aspect of this transformation is the adoption of digital signatures and digital document sealing, which allow organisations to approve documents quickly while ensuring legal validity.
By integrating seamlessly with digital eSignature solutions, Scan2x simplifies approvals, reduces administrative workload, and helps businesses maintain compliance without unnecessary delays.
This article explores the integration of Scan2x with digital signing solutions and how it optimises business operations through automated approvals.
Two Signing Methods: eSeal and eSignature
Scan2x offers two types of digital signing methods: eSeal and eSignature. These methods cater to different signing needs, ensuring flexibility for businesses and individuals.
Understanding the Difference Between eSeal and eSignature
eSeal: Organisational Authentication
An eSeal functions as a digital stamp used to authenticate documents on behalf of an organisation. This method is particularly useful for official documents that require validation at a company level rather than an individual’s personal signature.
Benefits of eSeal:
- Automates approval processes, reducing manual intervention.
- Ensures document integrity and prevents tampering.
- Provides a legally recognised method of document validation.
- Helps businesses maintain efficiency and security in high-volume document workflows.
eSignature: Individual Authorisation
An eSignature is a personal digital signature used by individuals to sign documents in their own name. This method ensures accountability and legal validity, making it ideal for contracts, agreements, and approvals requiring personal authorisation.
Benefits of eSignature:
- Provides a secure and legally binding way to sign documents remotely.
- Ensures accountability by linking each signature to an individual.
- Enables structured signing workflows, ensuring approvals follow a predefined order.
- Increases efficiency by eliminating the need for in-person signings.
How Scan2x Enhances eSignature Workflows
- Automated Approval Process
Scan2x streamlines document processing by integrating digital signing directly into workflows. Documents can be scanned, processed, and sent for approval automatically, reducing manual intervention.
- Security & Compliance
Digital signatures meet stringent legal standards, ensuring documents remain authentic and tamper-proof. Scan2x ensures that every signed document maintains its integrity and remains compliant with industry regulations.
- Flexibility
Businesses can implement digital signatures without being tied to a single provider, making adoption easy and seamless. This flexibility allows organisations to work with their preferred digital signing solutions without disrupting workflows.
- Time & Cost Savings
By reducing delays caused by physical document handling and manual approvals, businesses can process approvals faster, leading to cost savings and increased productivity.
Real-Life Cases
eSeal: Enhancing Document Authentication with eSeal
One practical application of eSeal is in the authentication of identity documents and contracts. Organisations can scan or upload digital copies of these sensitive documents and apply an eSeal to certify that they are true copies of the original.
This capability is especially valuable in industries that handle contractual agreements, compliance documents, and regulatory paperwork, as it:
- Ensures authenticity without requiring physical document handling.
- Speeds up verification processes by eliminating the need for manual stamping or notarisation.
- Streamlines workflows across sectors such as legal, finance, healthcare, and government.
By leveraging Scan2x’s eSeal, businesses can achieve a faster, more secure, and more efficient approach to managing critical documents while maintaining compliance with industry standards.
eSignatures: Simplifying HR Onboarding with eSignatures
An HR department onboarding new employees can leverage eSignatures to streamline the signing process. Instead of printing contracts and requiring in-person signatures, HR can digitally send the necessary documents to signatories and approvers in a predefined order.
This method:
- Ensures a structured approval flow, where each individual signs in sequence.
- Eliminates the need for physical presence, allowing remote signing from anywhere.
- Maintains traceability, ensuring that each step of the process is logged and auditable.
- Tracks progress, so HR can monitor where the document is in the approval chain.
- Sends alerts and notifications, reminding signatories of pending approvals and preventing delays.
- Reduces administrative workload by removing paper-based processes.
By using Scan2x’s eSignature integration, businesses can speed up onboarding, maintain compliance, and provide a seamless digital experience for both HR teams and new employees.

The integration of Scan2x with digital eSignatures represents a significant step towards fully automated and paperless workflows. By offering both eSeal and eSignature solutions, Scan2x ensures that businesses and individuals can approve documents efficiently, securely, and in compliance with industry regulations.
