eSignature is a feature in Rubex that allows users to request electronic signatures, initials, and other approvals from any individuals on specified documents. This can be used for documents that require the signature of multiple parties such as tax documents, lease agreements or Business contracts

This feature is available in both the Rubex Web Interface, and the Rubex Desktop App.

**Please Note** eSignature is available as part of several feature packages within Rubex. If you would like a quote, please contact your account rep here at eFileCabinet. asksales@efilecabinet.com
