Success Story PÖTTINGER

Oberegger: "PÖTTINGER is involved in digital agricultural technology and is a pioneer in digital solutions. We already put out feelers in the area of digital signatures years ago. The final trigger for the "digital signature" project was clearly the Corona situation.
At PÖTTINGER, there are five managing directors: two signatures are always required for a valid signature. In times of home office and restriction rules, this was not always easy. Therefore, a faster and more convenient solution had to be on the table."

During the requirements analysis, we looked at the main use cases at our company. In the process, we also received requests. For example, the signature process should be able to be started directly from a SharePoint library or any integration into processes with SAP should also be possible. We can map all this via the API provided by sproof sign.
Crucial for sproof sign as a cloud solution was also the location in Austria and a certain proximity to the company itself. As a family business, PÖTTINGER prefers direct contact.

Oberegger: "In daily use, the digital signature replaces the signature folder that travels through all departments every day. This makes us independent of the current location of our managing directors and department heads.
The driving department was our treasury. The daily work with banks also required the introduction of a digital solution.
We will also be using Sproof to process large signature packages in the future. The Corona crisis required the amendment of service contracts in relation to home offices. This required hundreds of documents to be signed by two managing directors each. With the sproof API, we can process this in the future via a kind of mass letter and save the management hours of work."

Oberegger: "Staying digitally on the ball as a company in this day and age requires the support of additional software. Additional software on-premise (editor's note: hosting software on own servers) also means additional demand for human resources. It was important for PÖTTINGER to find a cloud service with a European office that can offer high availability and, in an emergency, fast remedial action in the event of any problems.
Staying on the ball also means always evolving. With sproof sign's approach that new developments are available to all customers at no extra charge, an important point in our requirements was met."

Oberegger: "PÖTTINGER attaches great importance to data protection compliance. It was important that the data is only stored in the EU on the one hand, but that there is also a clear regulation of responsibilities over data. Since both our employees and customers are invited to sign, we want to make sure that this data is kept safe."

Oberegger: "What we like about sproof sign is not only the location in Austria and the user-friendly interface, but also the basis for discussion when it comes to support and customer friendliness. At sproof sign, no matter who you talk to, you can clearly see the motivation of the entire team, which makes it easy to get hooked."
