Digital signatures from any device
Clients sign from phone, tablet, or laptop. No printing, no scanning, no DocuSign round-trip. Countersigning is built in.
Get contracts signed without leaving the browser.
Send contracts for digital signature, issue change orders when scope shifts, and keep every signed document attached to the client, project, and invoice it belongs to.
Contracts & E-Signature
What's included
Change orders for scope shifts
Scope changed mid-project? Issue a change order that adjusts the original contract. Clients approve the delta instead of re-signing everything.
Audit trail on every signature
Timestamps, IP addresses, and signer identity captured for every signed document. Exportable evidence when you need it.
Reusable contract templates
Save master service agreements and SOW templates once. Start from a proven structure instead of rewriting from scratch per client.
Attach to proposals or send standalone
Bundle the contract into a proposal for a single review-and-approve link, or send it separately. Both flows are first-class.
Client portal visibility
Signed contracts live in the client portal. Nothing gets buried in email — your client can always find what they signed.

Frequently asked questions
Does Ratio support e-signature for contracts?
Yes. Clients sign digitally from any device. Countersigning, timestamps, IP address capture, and signer identity verification are all built in.
Can I issue change orders for mid-project scope changes?
Yes. Change orders adjust the original contract and generate a delta invoice. Clients approve the change without re-signing the entire agreement.
Is Ratio e-signature legally binding?
Yes. Ratio's e-signature meets U.S. ESIGN Act and UETA requirements for electronic signatures. Signed documents include full audit trails suitable as evidence of agreement.
Can I bundle contracts with proposals?
Yes. Attach a contract to a proposal so clients review, approve, and sign in one flow. Or send contracts standalone — both patterns are first-class.
Where do signed contracts live for clients to reference?
Signed contracts appear in the client portal so your clients can always find what they signed. Copies are also stored on the project timeline and emailed to both parties.
