Omnichannel
Signhost is omnichannel, and quick and easy to use. Evidos’ electronic signature solution allows your clients to sign documents on a PC, laptop, mobile phone or tablet, or at a reception desk. This can be done at any time and place that suits the client, both remotely and on-site. We guarantee that your transactions will be smooth, regardless of which device you use.
Verification
We support several methods allowing you to verify a signatory’s identity. It is up to you to decide which methods are important to you in authenticating an electronic signature. Identities may be verified with an email, IP address, text message, iDEAL, iDIN and Passport selfie check, as well as with third-party authentication methods, such as PKI, DigiD or eHerkenning.


Legal validity and strength of the electronic authentication
Evidos electronic signatures satisfy the most stringent international legal requirements. The signatures meet the requirements for advanced electronic signatures laid down in Section 3:15(a) of the Dutch Civil Code. In addition, Evidos ensures that the signatures you obtain from Ondertekenen.nl automatically have the right level of authentication. For every document signed, you will receive a receipt showing the audit trail of all the steps taken during the signing process. In addition, we sign documents using an independent timestamp.

Flexible workflow
Which signing process suits you depends on your target group, the risk level of the transaction and the desired workflow.

Requests to sign documents and the signature environment can be personalised and formatted based on your own corporate identity.
Documents can be electronically signed through your own website or an email sent by your company. Just determine the number of signatories for each document and the signing order. Signatures can be collected by means of a single mouse click or a quick scrawl on any desktop computer, tablet or mobile phone.
