Let’s be real—admin work is the ultimate productivity killer. You’ve got client deadlines, compliance requirements, and emails piling up. The last thing you need is to spend hours managing signatures, following up on documents, and stressing over where things stand.

We know the struggle. That’s why we’re transforming how document signing works with SuiteFiles. Whether you’re an accountant, a business owner, or anyone dealing with endless paperwork, our latest updates are designed to save time, reduce admin, and bring clarity to your signing workflows.

Here’s what’s new and how it’ll make your life easier.

Document Packs: One Request, Multiple Documents, Zero Hassle

You’ve probably been there—sending clients multiple documents to sign one by one, hoping nothing gets lost or delayed. With our new Document Packs feature, you’ll now be able to send all your documents in a single request.

Let’s say you have an engagement letter, payment authorization, and terms of service that need signatures. Instead of firing off three separate emails, you can bundle them into one, making it faster for you and your clients.

But that’s not all. Document Packs also let you:

  • Assign roles: Need both the business owner and CFO to sign? No problem—you can define who signs each document.
  • Control the signing order: Want a partner to review and sign before the manager does? You’ve got full control over the order of signatures for each document.

It’s all about reducing the back-and-forth and keeping things on track.

Your New and Improved Signing Dashboard

Managing document workflows shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. We’ve rebuilt the Signing Dashboard to give you the clarity and control you need, with a cleaner, more intuitive interface.

Here’s how it helps:

  • Real-time status updates: See if documents have been delivered, signed, or stuck in a client’s inbox. No more wondering what happened after you hit send.
  • Automatic reminders: Let SuiteFiles handle the follow-ups with recurring reminders that nudge clients to complete their signatures.
  • Clear audit logs: Stay compliant with a full record of all signing activities, making it easy to prove who signed and when.

It’s like having a personal assistant who never forgets a task or deadline.

AI-Powered Document Summaries: Work Smarter, Not Harder

We get it—no one has the time (or patience) to read through long documents over and over again. That’s why we’re introducing AI-driven document summaries.

This feature automatically pulls out the key points of a document, giving you and your clients a quick overview of what’s important. It’s designed to reduce errors and save time, especially when you’re managing multiple requests during busy periods.

Imagine how much easier it’ll be for your clients when they can see a summary of what they’re signing, instead of having to scan every page.

Compliance You Can Count On

The rules around digital signing are always evolving, and staying compliant is a full-time job in itself. That’s why we’ve built these updates to meet today’s corporate standards for secure, compliant document signing. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your processes are aligned with current legal requirements.

But this update isn’t just about compliance—it’s about preparing you for what’s next. This is SuiteFiles’ first step into an AI-powered future, where automation will take more admin work off your plate than ever before.

“Set It and Forget It” Efficiency

The goal of all these updates is simple: make signing workflows something you can set and forget. Imagine sending out documents and knowing SuiteFiles has got the rest—tracking statuses, sending reminders, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

These updates empower you to:

  • Eliminate repetitive tasks like manual follow-ups.
  • Improve turnaround times with faster, more organized signing processes.
  • Focus on high-value work instead of getting bogged down in admin.

We’ve built these tools to help you conquer the year ahead with less stress and more productivity.

Why Now Is the Time to Switch to SuiteFiles Super Suite

Whether you’re handling dozens or hundreds of signing requests each month, these updates are game-changers. It is important to note that digital signing is exclusive to our Super Suite plan, but unlike other digital signing providers who make you limit the amount of document signing you can do per month, we offer unlimited digital signing to all users on our Super Suite plan. If you’re not already using SuiteFiles, now’s the perfect time to explore what our document management workspace can do for your business.

With features like document signing, client portals, bulk folder generation, and advanced PDF tools, Super Suite helps streamline your entire workflow—not just signing. And with new features like document packs and AI summaries, you’ll be better equipped to tackle 2025 without admin holding you back.

Why leave it there?
