eSign, and Approve Orders Electronically

It was a cold winter night, and the streets were deserted. Harsh, the dairy store owner decided to close the store for the day. So, he sat down to place the milk order for the following day. He called up the local milk vendor and placed an order for 120 liters of milk.

The local vendor listed it. He called up the county milk vendor and forwarded the order to him. The county milk vendor accepted the order and forwarded the same to the zonal owner. The order somehow slipped his mind and the zonal owner forgot to inform the production unit about the same while placing the order for the other stores.

Unaware of this, Harsh opened the store at 3 a.m. the following morning and waited for the delivery van to deliver the milk. The dawn broke but the van never arrived. As usual, individual milk sellers turned up at 4 a.m. to collect milk from his store. On seeing that there was no stock, they went to another store and purchased milk from there.

What a bad reputation for Harsh and his store! Harsh had to suffer financially too for no mistake from his side.

To bring such problems to an end, Signulu, the advanced cloud-based eSignature platform, has brought forth an excellent solution by facilitating the vendors to get approvals electronically. The vendor can invite multiple stakeholders to sign and approve the order. And the best part is, the vendor can track the progress of the document. Meaning, the vendor can specifically know if the document is signed by all the recipients or if it is pending or if it is being under review.

Speaking of Harsh’s case, had the vendor used Signulu, he would have understood that the zonal owner forgot to inform the production unit about his order. At this point, the vendor would have intervened and reminded the zonal owner.
