Scrive integration

Through the interface to the signature service provider Scrive you send documents out of projectfacts for signature, from the quotation to the framework agreement. Signed, they come back to where they came from.

Can projectfacts have documents signed through Scrive?

Yes. Since version 2024.1 there has been an interface to the signature service provider Scrive: from projectfacts you send a document for electronic signature, the recipient signs online, and the signed PDF then sits back in projectfacts, in the very place it was sent from.

Any PDF can be sent. With business documents the route is built into the process, so with a quotation it sits directly in the quotation; beyond that, any document from the file module takes the same route.

What the Scrive integration is good for

Sent from projectfacts

The document goes out where it was created, with no export and no second application.

Any PDF at all

Not just business documents: contracts and agreements from the file module go out for signature too.

Several Scrive accounts

Where divisions or companies work with their own accounts, permissions govern who uses which one.

From the quotation to the signed order

The most common case is the quotation, and that is where the waiting time sits that nobody needs: the PDF has gone out, and then it lies in the customer's printer.

The quotation is created in projectfacts

Items, prices and texts come from the master data, and the PDF is produced from your template, see quotation preparation.

Send it for signature

Instead of emailing the quotation and waiting for the scanned reply, it goes to Scrive for signature. The recipient signs online and needs no access to projectfacts for that.

Signed and back, then on to the order

The signed document sits on the business document. The accepted quotation becomes the order, with the project, the times and the billing behind it, the familiar route through order management and invoicing. What is still open you see in offer tracking.

Beyond business documents too

Not every document that needs signing is a business document. That is why the second route runs through the file module.

Any PDF from file management

Framework agreements, maintenance agreements, non-disclosure agreements, handover records: whatever sits in file management can be sent for signature. Signed, it sits back there and can be linked to QM documents.

You can see what is in transit

The document shows that it has been sent for signature. That saves the question of whether the contract has gone out yet, and the look into someone else's outbox.

Everything stays with the customer

Because the signed document sits in projectfacts, it is there on the process and on the contact in CRM. Anyone who wants to check months later what exactly was signed does not have to search a colleague's mailbox.

Two routes to a signature: the quotation from the business document and any PDF from the file module go through Scrive and come back signed to projectfacts | projectfacts

Set-up and requirements

The integration is part of the standard and is set up in the configuration.

Through the interface configuration

Scrive is connected in projectfacts through the interface configuration. After that, sending for signature is available on business documents and in the file module.

Several accounts, cleanly separated

If several divisions or companies use their own Scrive accounts, permission settings govern who uses which account. That has been possible since version 2024.2 and is the reason the integration also works in organisations with several clients or brands.

Your own Scrive account

Scrive is an independent service that you obtain from its provider. projectfacts brings the interface, not the signature service itself. Which signature level and which identification method you use, what it costs and where it is recognised depends on your contract with Scrive.

Which editions include it

The Scrive interface is included in the Enterprise and projectfacts editions. The full comparison is in the overview of functions, the prices under prices.

Scrive or Skribble?

projectfacts connects to both signature services. Which one it becomes is not decided by the software.

In projectfacts the route is the same

Both services are connected through the interface configuration, in both cases the document goes out for signature from the business document or from the file module and comes back signed. If you already have an account with one of the two, you connect that one. The differences, meaning signature levels, identification, prices and countries, are answered by the respective provider. For the second integration see Skribble.

Frequently asked questions about the Scrive integration

Is there an interface between projectfacts and Scrive?
Yes, since version 2024.1. Through the interface to the signature service provider Scrive you send documents out of projectfacts for electronic signature. Scrive is connected through the interface configuration.
Which documents can I have signed through Scrive?
Any PDF. With business documents, sending is built into the process, so with a quotation the option sits directly on the business document. Beyond that, any document from file management can be sent for signature.
Does the recipient need access to projectfacts?
No. Signing happens at the signature service. The recipient needs neither access to projectfacts nor an installation.
Can I see whether a document has already been sent for signature?
Yes. The document shows that it has been sent. The signed PDF then comes back to the same place, to the business document or into file management.
Can several departments use their own Scrive accounts?
Yes. Since version 2024.2, the use of several Scrive accounts is supported through permission settings. Different divisions or companies can therefore each work with their own account.
Do I need my own account with Scrive?
Yes. projectfacts brings the interface, while you obtain the signature service itself from Scrive. Signature levels, identification methods and prices depend on your contract there.
Is the Scrive interface included in my edition?
It is included in the Enterprise and projectfacts editions. You will find the full comparison in the overview of functions.
What is the difference to the Skribble integration?
In day to day use, none: both services are connected through the interface configuration and both send documents for signature from the business document or from the file module. The differences lie with the services themselves. For the second integration see Skribble.
