This estimate assumes e-signatures reduce per-document handling time by approximately 75% compared to a manual print-sign-scan process. Actual savings depend on your specific workflow, team size, and adoption rate. This calculator does not account for WoltSign subscription costs. Visit /pricing to factor those in.
Where the time goes in manual document signing
Print and scan cycles
A document that needs three rounds of corrections takes three print-sign-scan cycles. E-signatures handle corrections with a new document version.
Follow-up emails
Most signing delays come from signers who have not acted on an emailed PDF. WoltSign sends automated reminders on a schedule you control.
Processing time before the signed document is usable
A scanned signed document needs to be named, filed, and shared. WoltSign produces a completed signed PDF with audit trail immediately after the last signature.
FAQ
- How accurate is this calculator?
- The calculator uses a 75% time reduction assumption based on published studies of paper-to-digital document signing transitions. Your actual savings may be higher or lower depending on your existing process, document complexity, and how consistently your team uses e-signatures.
- Does the calculator include WoltSign subscription costs?
- No. The calculator estimates gross time and cost savings from eliminating manual signing steps. To see net savings, subtract your WoltSign plan cost from the estimated savings. WoltSign plans start at /pricing.
- How do I use these numbers in a business case?
- Copy the annual savings estimate and use it as the 'current cost of manual process' line in your business case. Add WoltSign's annual subscription cost as the 'new cost.' The difference is your net annual savings.
- What is included in 'minutes spent per document'?
- Include time to print the document, physically sign or obtain a physical signature, scan the signed document, email it back, wait for the other party to return it, and file the completed copy. For multi-party documents, multiply by the number of signing rounds.
