Use case overview

A procurement department receives a request for a specific service or piece of equipment. A procurement professional then uploads a service agreement to their pdfFiller account and turns it into an online fillable form. Next, an employee easily shares the agreement with a service provider or vendor via email or direct link. The provider can then fill out and sign the agreement anytime on their smartphone. Once finished, the signed agreement is securely saved to pdfFiller.
Benefits for education institutions include:
Saved up to 40 employee hours per month
Reduced printing costs by 70%
Eliminated document errors and lost files
Complete visibility into the signing process

For every outing that we go on, the boys have to fill out a permission slip. I made it fillable using pdfFiller so now parents can sign it online. If somebody forgets a permission slip, they can just send it to me electronically, they don’t have to go to the venue or whatever and I don’t have to follow up.

pdfFiller cuts down on the cost of mailing documents and eliminates the time cost of downloading, printing, scanning, and uploading documents. I save about $20 a month with pdfFiller, but when extrapolated across an entire staff, the savings would be exponentially greater.
