“We were tired of DocuSign’s inconsistencies, the escalating costs, an account rep that changed every ninety days, and the lackluster customer service. The moment we switched to BlueInk, we experienced immediate benefits – a 45% cost savings, a dedicated support dream-team responding in minutes, and a more efficient business with 58% productivity improvement, 70% faster document turnaround, all in just 3 days."
Bryan Jenkins Principal Broker, AHI Properties
"BlueInk’s reasonable cost and multiple document-sharing options is the fastest and simplest way to get parent signatures, and the cost is unbeatable. Our favorite feature is the text message option, allowing us to effortlessly obtain consent for various forms. We were impressed not just by the functionality but also by the affordability. It's a fraction of the cost compared to other solutions. With BlueInk, we save time, money, and paper.”
Shauni Vaughn Director of Student Services
"Serving workers' comp statewide, signatures were a pain. We tried DocuSign and HelloSign, but they weren't efficient. BlueInk's SMS feature changed it all. Patients sign instantly, mistakes are rare. Our document processing time went from a frustrating 10 days down to less than an hour. Plus, it's a budget-friendly choice, and that's been a real game-changer for our pharmacy!”
