The nationwide lockdown to stem the flow of coronavirus has brought almost all business activity to a standstill. Most people are working remotely and it is causing problems across verticals–from vendor onboarding, hiring new employees, drawing up contracts to even getting approvals from top bosses.
Digital signature and electronic documentation startups are looking to leverage these disruptions. Companies have gone remote for more than a week now and are using Slack, Zoom and Hangout to stay connected, but signatures and approvals continue to be a challenge.
