Why has eSignature become essential in retail?
Retail players manage a high volume of contracts: suppliers, distributors, franchisees, seasonal employees and temporary workers. Paper-based signing delays slow down the opening of new outlets, product shelving and HR management.
Electronic signature allows retailers, franchise networks and distributors to accelerate their commercial relationships, secure their contractual commitments and centralise their documents.
"Youtrust is really well thought out, very easy to use — sending a contract to be signed electronically has become a pleasure."

Simplify every step of your retail operations
Which documents can be signed electronically in retail?
Tailored to every retail role
Why is electronic signature valid in retail?
Electronic signature benefits from a legally recognised framework in Europe. When it allows the signer to be identified, guarantees document integrity and ensures reliable retention, it produces legal effects comparable to those of a handwritten signature.
In retail, it can be used to formalise commercial contracts, supplier agreements or employment contracts, subject to adapting the signature level to the stakes of the document.
The available levels (simple, advanced, qualified) allow the security level to be adjusted to operational needs.
Secure your commercial relationships against fraud
Retailers and distribution networks are exposed to the risks of contractual fraud and disputes. Electronic signature strengthens the traceability of commitments and protects the integrity of exchanged documents.
Secure retail operations
