Creating a digital signature - we offer the right solution.

Create digital signatures: In many corporate fields, business processes can be significantly simplified through the use of electronic signature procedures. Depending on the area of application and industry, the use cases and workflows differ. A digital signature is particularly efficient when it is optimally integrated into the workflow. StepOver’s decades of experience in a wide range of industries enable digital signatures to be precisely tailored to your requirements and individual needs.

Contracts and claims in the insurance industry

Simple & fast with digital signatures

Many insurance companies are increasingly using digital signatures. Not least because the electronic signature enables legally secure processing of contract conclusions and claims settlement. With the digital signature, contracts can be signed quickly and without cumbersome scanning or mailing. Customers sign their contract on their smartphone, tablet or computer – paperless and convenient. In the event of a claim, the policyholder is obliged to provide the insurance company with authorized documents and cost items relevant to the claim. For a long time, this was a time-consuming and nerve-wracking process. With the use of digital signature processes from StepOver, the exchange of documents between the insurance company and the policyholder becomes simple, fast and efficient.
StepOver’s signature solutions have proven themselves many times over in the insurance industry and are used, among others, by these providers:

AXA Insurances uses the eSignatureOffice software with approx. 8,500 signature pads in exclusive sales. At the same time, AXA also relies on the use of mobile devices such as tablet PCs and iPads as well as remote signatures, where the customer and advisor do not have to be in the same place. Signatures can be made conveniently and easily during the online consultation or flexibly and efficiently at home after the consultation. For this purpose, the StepOver cloud solution webSignatureOffice was integrated into the sales applications.

At Wüstenrot & Württembergische, almost 13,000 signature pads are in use in conjunction with the signature software eSignatureOffice. Since 2020, tablet PCs have also been used for the e-signature.
