Digitizing Your Signing Process

We configure the Odoo Sign App for legally valid electronic signatures, including Austrian and German requirements under the eIDAS Regulation.

Paper-based contracts slow approvals down. We configure the Odoo Sign App so your team can move away from that, without giving up legal certainty. Here's what the process looks like once it's set up:

  1. Build the document — automated layouts with drag-and-drop fields handle even detailed, multi-field forms without manual redesign each time.

  2. Send for signature — reusable templates and envelopes let you manage documents that need multiple signatures at once, instead of chasing signers one by one.

  3. Verify the signer — multi-factor authentication confirms who actually signed, so the signature can't be disputed later.

  4. Store it as legally valid — depending on your region, the signed document can carry the same legal weight as a handwritten signature.

That last step is where regional rules matter most — a generic setup isn't automatically valid everywhere:

Region

Standard we align with

EU-wide

eIDAS Regulation

Austria

Same trust level as ID Austria / A-Trust

Germany

Same trust level as D-Trust

In practice, this means signatures collected through Odoo can qualify as a Qualified Electronic Signature — legally equivalent to a handwritten signature anywhere in the EU.
