Annotations and signing

No more downloading, printing and scanning: sign online, and place comments in the right place in a document

As a builder, you know how important efficiency and clear communication are on the shop floor. With the annotation and signing feature within Prostream, that’s exactly what you get. Annotations allow you to add comments, feedback and instructions directly to specific locations on construction drawings or in project documents. No more ambiguity about what exactly a comment is about, which reduces errors and increases efficiency. Because you can sign documents for approval directly in Prostream, you speed up the approval flow and save a lot of paperwork. Annotating and signing therefore make your work much more efficient.

The benefits of annotating & signing

Post targeted comments

Place comments directly where they pertain in a document.

Sign documents directly online

Sign documents directly online. No more printer and scanner needed.

Communicating without interrupting work processes

Communicate about document content without interrupting the rest of the workflow.

Easily add stamps

Stamping a document with final? Or do you want to add a date stamp? No problem!

In Prostream, you place comments, feedback and instructions directly where they pertain in a document. Add them to specific locations on drawings or attach them to a particular sentence in a document. This way, there is no more ambiguity about what exactly a comment is about. That saves search work, confusion and time.

Downloading a document, perhaps also printing it, signing it and then scanning and uploading it again… That is a thing of the past. In Prostream, you sign documents digitally. That saves a lot of time, hassle and paper.

With annotations in Prostream, you communicate about the content of documents, without interrupting the rest of the work process and its communication. That way, you avoid confusion.

Is a document final and should it be labelled as such? Or do you want to put your own stamp on it? That is no problem in Prostream. You simply place standard or custom stamps on documents.
