The Signature
Cumbersome contract processes such as printing, binding, and stamping can now be completed entirely online.
Streamline operations and reduce costs with electronic contracts.
LX Sign
Global-ready cloud-based e-signature service 「LX Sign」*
The interface, including contract sending and receiving screens, is available in English, enabling smooth cross-border contract procedures even when executing agreements in Japan.
*Implementation of additional electronic signature methods that take into account languages and legal frameworks in APAC regions, including India, is planned to be introduced sequentially in the future.
Do you face these challenges?
Not only direct costs such as postage and revenue stamps, but also indirect costs like storage and labor continue to rise.
Tasks such as printing, binding, and stamping take time and disrupt focus from core business activities.
Paper contracts are scattered after signing, making it difficult to track renewal deadlines and contract parties.
Signed contracts are automatically reflected in the AI Contract Management system, minimizing manual work and improving the efficiency of legal operations.
