Digital signature workflows for approval processes

Purpose

1.3 Reduce manual errors, prevent unauthorized edits, streamline approval routing, and integrate digital signature validation with ERP, CRM, or DMS systems specific to aviation parts supply.

2.2 Form submission requesting managerial/supplier approval.
2.3 Workflow step for regulatory paperwork reaches “signature required” stage.
