Docufi3d: Simple, Secure, and Compliant Digital Signing for Everyone

Our browser-based solution at www.docufi3d.com enables high-security, legally compliant digital signing for individuals, SMEs, and enterprises. No technical setup or complex infrastructure is required. Here’s how Docufi3d makes digital signing easy and accessible:

1. Simple Registration: Users register with email verification for basic digital signatures. This setup is quick and requires no technical expertise.
2. Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES) with Biometric Verification: Users needing more secure authentication can link a digital wallet for AES, secured by a biometric feature for added convenience and security.
3. Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) for Highest Compliance: For legally binding signatures equivalent to a notary, we offer QES through Swisscom Trust Services. This level is ideal for regulated sectors such as finance and government, where top compliance standards are mandatory.
4. AI Contract Review & Real-Time Tracking: AI-driven contract review flags potential risks before signing, while users can track the signing process, send reminders, and archive documents directly from their dashboard.
5. Flexible, Transparent Pay-Per-Use Model: Users pay only when they sign, with various payment options (e.g., Euros, Dollars, credit cards, and cryptocurrency tokens), making Docufi3d affordable and accessible.
