Bids, warranties, subcontractor agreements: there’s A LOT of paperwork you need completed every day on the job. And while handshakes and head nods can set work in motion, they’re not the most reliable when it comes to disagreements.
This is why we launched CompanyCam Signatures to help you get your important documents signed and your butt covered without ever leaving the job site or the CompanyCam app.
What are CompanyCam Signatures?
CompanyCam Signatures is a new add-on that allows you to request, track, and collect electronic signatures on documents in CompanyCam.
The add-on enables you to add things like signature, initial, and date fields to the documents you have in your CompanyCam account and send for signatures in a few clicks.
The Signatures add-on is $49 monthly for Pro and Premium accounts for unlimited users and signatures.
How to Use CompanyCam Signatures
First, you need to get access. To do that, reach out to your customer success manager or success@companycam.com.
Then, you need a document! Navigate to your Documents tab and select the document you want to sign. You’ll need to upload one if you don’t have the document you want to be signed in your CompanyCam account yet.
Once you find the document you want signatures on, you’ll open it, click the blue Request Signatures button, and enter the information of the people you need signatures from.
From there, you can add a signature and initial fields, date and name, and areas for open text. Then, click next and format the email that will send on your behalf from CompanyCam.
How Signatures Compares to the Competition
There are a lot of others in the electronic signature game. After some research and interviews with our users, we decided that a per-account charge made the most sense.
That way, everyone who needs access can have access, and you don’t have to stress over adding/removing someone to stay under a limit.

And there’s no pressure (or even an option) to sign up long-term — if you decide Signatures isn’t for you, you can drop it from your account without affecting any other features.
If you are a one-person operation, you may save some money by going with a different option. But if you have a handful of employees who need signatures each day or want to keep everything streamlined in one app, you’ll start saving immediately with Signatures.
Where to Use Signatures in Your Business
There are many ways to use Signatures to your business’ advantage and cover your butt
Bids. If a client accepts the conditions of a work order, a signature and a check get the project started.
Change Orders. When a client wants something changed mid-project, you can add it to the contract and require the client to sign off on the price increase.
Collaborators. If you work with subcontractors, you both should sign off before and after work is completed
Warranty. Customer sign-offs on completed warranty work.
Cover Your Butt. After you document pre-existing damages or complete a job, request a signature from a client.
