Construction procurement is already challenging enough without the frustration of chasing down signatures. Whether it's design revisions, delayed tenders, or pricing complexities, the last thing you need is contracts stalled by outdated signature processes.
We've all been there — contracts printed, emailed back and forth, signed late (or not at all), then buried in someone's inbox. One delay and suddenly a subcontractor starts work without insurance coverage or a signed contract.
Some contractors already use DocuSign, adding extra costs to stretched budgets. Others still rely on wet signatures, wasting valuable hours driving across town just for a scribble.
It's unnecessary admin, and it adds needless risk (side note: learn how ProcurePro's built-in analytics helps manage procurement risks more effectively).
DocuSign and its various competitors have undeniably done wonders for operational efficiency (they've got over 1 million paying customers and almost a billion users as of writing).
ProcurePro even integrates with DocuSign to make it simple for existing DocuSign customers to streamline contract review and signing within ProcurePro.
However, with contractors seeing margins squeezed more than ever before, we decided to give our users all the convenience of e-signatures, without the added cost of a third-party service.
Meet ProcurePro eSign — a cost-free alternative to DocuSign, built seamlessly into your procurement workflow.
Contract signing in construction is rarely simple. Digital tools help, but the process remains slow, disjointed, and costly.
Teams wait. Projects stall. Paper and email trails pile up.
Unsigned contracts often lead to subcontractors working without insurance or agreed terms — leaving head contractors exposed.
Even with digital signature platforms, delays occur from uploading documents, managing signers, and waiting for responses.
Sending contracts in one system, tracking in another, and following up manually wastes admin hours. Confusion spreads as signed copies scatter across emails and folders.
Platforms like DocuSign charge per user or envelope, quickly escalating annual costs. And that's just for signatures — not drafting, approvals, or storage.
When systems don't integrate, gaps appear. Contracts get stored differently by different people. When asked who signed a contract and when, you're left digging through various folders.
This fragmented approach — the Old Way — isn't built for how construction works today.
ProcurePro eSign integrates electronic signatures directly into your procurement workflow, powered by Dropbox Sign.
No separate logins. No uploading contracts to another platform. No added licence fees. Just click, send, sign, and store — right within ProcurePro.
You get the core functionality of DocuSign: digital fields, signer order, timestamps, and audit trails, streamlined specifically for construction.
Send the contract from the procurement package. The subcontractor signs securely from their phone. The signed version automatically saves into your project.
Imagine finalising a plumbing subcontract. Rather than exporting and uploading a PDF elsewhere, you send it directly from ProcurePro.
The subcontractor gets a secure email link, signs from their phone, and the signed contract — with timestamp and audit trail — is automatically stored. If the signer changes, reassignment is easy and immediate.
This isn’t a workaround — it’s the New Way.
Contract administrators want contracts signed fast, properly, and easily accessible. Speed, efficiency, and avoiding extra costs matter most.
Feature comparison:
Already using DocuSign? No problem. ProcurePro supports both, giving you options without extra tabs, admin, or fees.
If you're still paying for external eSign licences, you're effectively paying twice. Most contractors spend thousands annually without accounting for lost admin time.
With ProcurePro eSign:
ProcurePro eSign isn't designed merely to compete — it’s built to simplify procurement. Flipping between systems wastes time, fragments data, and increases risks.
Our aim is clear: a streamlined workflow — from scope creation and tendering, to comparisons, recommendations, and contract signatures.
Everything connects, ensuring nothing slips:
Integration with tools like Procore, Aconex, Power BI, Jobpac, and Cheops further enhances efficiency.
Stop paying extra for signature tools. If you use ProcurePro, eSign is already there — no setup, no extra costs.
Next time you prepare a contract, skip the export. From your package, simply review and hit 'Send with eSign'. The subcontractor signs securely on their phone, and it's automatically stored, timestamped, traceable, and simple.
