The digital paperwork platform helps our customers savetime and avoid the hassle.Save moneyIf you offer the customer the option of signing the document kit fromhome, and they have a smartphone, then they will prefer that optionalways.

So, thedigital paperwork process saves them money and not going to thebranch is a great option for them.
