Every signature your trade business needs

From the first quote to the final sign-off, TradePlanr captures a signed record at every stage of the job.

Job Sign-Offs

Customers sign on your phone when the job is done. Signed sign-off certificates are generated as PDFs and stored against the job — no more disputes about completed work.

Quote & Estimate Approval

Send quotes and estimates with a signing link. Customers approve and sign from any device, and you get notified the moment they do.

Variation Acknowledgments

Scope changed mid-job? Capture a signed acknowledgment for every variation so extra work is agreed in writing before you do it.

Legally Binding in the UK

Electronic signatures are legally recognised in the UK under the Electronic Communications Act 2000 and eIDAS. Every signature is stored with the signed document.

Works On Site, Even Offline

Capture signatures on your phone or tablet at the property. TradePlanr is offline-first, so signatures save even with no signal and sync later.

Faster Payments

A signed job sign-off removes the most common excuse for late payment. Invoice on the spot with the signed record attached.

How digital signing works

Three steps from finished job to signed certificate.

1

Open the Document

Open the sign-off, quote, or variation in the app — or send the customer a secure signing link.

2

Customer Signs

The customer signs with their finger on your phone, or on their own device from the link.

3

Signed PDF Stored

TradePlanr generates a signed PDF, stores it against the job, and shares a copy with the customer.

Digital signature FAQs

Are digital signatures legally binding for trade work in the UK?

Yes. Electronic signatures have been legally recognised in the UK since the Electronic Communications Act 2000, and UK eIDAS regulations confirm they are admissible as evidence. A signed digital job sign-off or quote approval carries legal weight, and because it is stored with the document and a timestamp, it is often easier to rely on than a paper signature.

How do customers sign a job sign-off?

When the job is complete, you open the sign-off in the TradePlanr app and hand your phone or tablet to the customer. They sign with their finger, and TradePlanr generates a signed PDF certificate stored against the job. You can share a copy with the customer instantly.

Can customers sign quotes and estimates remotely?

Yes. You can send a secure link by email or message. The customer opens it in their browser on any device, reviews the quote or estimate, and signs to accept — no app download or account needed on their side.

What happens to the signed documents?

Every signed document is generated as a PDF and stored against the job in TradePlanr. You can view, share, or download it at any time, and it stays available for your records even if you are offline.

Do digital signatures work without an internet connection?

Yes. TradePlanr is built offline-first, so you can capture a customer's signature on site with no signal. Everything syncs automatically as soon as you are back online.
