Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

How does Zignature automate vendor onboarding?

Connect Zignature to your ERP or procurement platform. When a new vendor record is created, a webhook triggers the vendor onboarding package — NDA, MSA, supplier code of conduct — pre-filled with vendor data. Only fully-signed vendors are activated as approved suppliers.

Can Zignature track vendor contract expiry dates across a large supplier base?

Yes. Set expiry dates on vendor agreements in Zignature. Automated alerts fire at 90/60/30 day intervals — sending renewal documents to vendors automatically. Never let a critical supplier contract lapse.

How do we handle annual vendor compliance re-acknowledgements?

Schedule annual re-acknowledgement workflows in Zignature. On the anniversary of initial signing, vendors receive updated code of conduct, anti-bribery policy, and compliance form for re-signing — maintaining current compliance documentation.

Can different vendor tiers have different onboarding requirements?

Yes. Configure Tier 1 critical suppliers to sign full NDA + MSA + DPA + code of conduct. Tier 3 spot suppliers might only receive a simplified PO terms acknowledgement. Template selection logic routes vendors to the appropriate tier package.

How does Zignature integrate with SAP Ariba or Coupa for vendor management?

Zignature integrates with Ariba and Coupa via REST API and webhooks. Supplier registration approval in Ariba or Coupa triggers Zignature onboarding document dispatch. Signed status returns to the procurement platform record.

Can we require vendor insurance certificate acknowledgements via Zignature?

Yes. Insurance requirement acknowledgement templates — where vendors confirm they hold required coverage levels and agree to maintain coverage — can be collected via Zignature as part of onboarding and annual compliance processes.
