Case Study: a major Swiss IT company digitizes ERP contracts with Pdftools PDF Security

From paper contracts to digital-born contracts in the ERP system

A major Swiss IT company sought to digitize its contracting processes, moving from paper to legally valid digital PDF contracts. Faced with the complex challenge of applying electronic and visual signatures, they required specialized software. They chose to implement the 3-Heights® PDF Security shell tool from vendor Pdftools instead of pursuing a costly in-house development.

Pdftools provided a solution that was seamlessly integrated into the company's existing ERP system. A shell script calls the tool in the background to apply up to three signatures to a contract before it is archived. As a result, the company now electronically signs approximately 10,000 contracts per year. Pdftools delivered high performance, met specific customer requirements for signature presentation, and provided professional support throughout the rollout.
