Great Progress on Digital Signatures This Week! – Vacation Rental Software Blog

Spent most of the week tweaking and testing the new Digital Signatures Module that (fingers crossed) should finally be launched next week. We overcame some User Interface and API obstacles this week and are well on our way to the last phase of testing.

Digital signatures will be an optional, additional monthly fee module. Some subscribers don’t use contracts and even those who do, may not want to have them signed digitally. Digital signatures are not free. We have to buy the signatures and user accounts in bulk and leverage a third party platform (RightSignature) to issue the signing credentials to assure that the document and the signature are valid, legal documents.

Additionally we leverage RightSignature to provide the cross platform embedded signing technology that allows a guest to sign and submit the rental agreement online and on any browser or mobile platform.

Here are some additional screenshots to generate some excitement as we approach launch:

sig-request — Screenshot showing how a subscriber would manually request a signature of a rental agreement.

Area of guest control panel showing whether the rental agreement was signed or not. If signed, an onmouseover event displays who signed it and on what day and time. If not signed, the icon will show as either pending or it will provide a link to open a window to send a signature request.

This screenshot shows the signed rental agreements stored in the documents tab for each invoice (hyperlinked to PDF of signed rental agreement).

Testimonials

Tried a couple – subscribed to Lodgix.com
Pros: - Customer Services: Soon after registering for my free 30 day trial, the President of the company jumped in and started helping me configure the app. to fit me specific needs (pricing model, etc..). I was surprised, impressed and thankful! He was obviously engaged and willing to spend the time necessary to ensure I was successful with his solution. I knew then that I would be able to pick up the phone or e-mail to get a question answered, quickly. - GUI: Seems to be the most up-to-date one in my price range. - Price: STRONG value. - Intuitive: Obviously, you have to move through various screens to manage different aspects of the application and customer information ¿¿¿ however, all in all pretty easy navigation. - Functionality: everything ¿¿¿ and then some ¿¿¿ that I need. Cons: There is a learning curve. However, I got through it with some quick responses from tech support. Overall: Yes - I have and will continue to recommend this product. It's a lot of value for $19.95 per month. I also like the fact that I don't feel like any old customer. Being in the technology business I hear a lot about partnering. However, I had never really experienced it until I started working with Lodgix.com. even though this is a micro business - it is my business and it is important to me. it's good to know I have a "partner" i can reach out to for help in this area. Additionally, I think the leaders of Lodgix,.com have built - and will continue to build - their business on their genuine commitment to help VR owners be successful - rather than building a business on sales - which frankly, I see too much of in today's ultra competitive business environment. Lastly, I am not a relative of one of the owners. Just found these folks through and internet search on Google less than 30 days ago. As a matter I have not even paid them yet
