Pharma-Care, Inc. streamlines its contracting processes with eSignLive electronic signatures

 electronic signature provider for 21st Century, Liberty Mutual, the US Army, and many other leading financial services and government organizations. The independent consulting firm has recently subscribed to e-SignLive, Silanis’ cloud-based electronic signature service, in order to provide its clients and consultants with the ability to electronically negotiate, sign and renew yearly contracts over the web.

“Eliminating paper from our contracting and document delivery processes will significantly reduce the time, cost, and need to travel in order to negotiate and execute business agreements with our nearly 400 clients, while also creating a comprehensive audit trail of our agreements and correspondence with clients,” said Scott Blumberg, Chief Financial Officer at Pharma-Care.

Ranked as one of the fastest 5000 growing companies by INC. Magazine, Pharma-Care provides a wide range of services to its 365 private and 27 government-sector clients in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. This includes educating clients on how to properly store and administer medication in long-term care and assisted living healthcare facilities; monitoring the efficacy, adverse reactions and side effects of drug regimen programs; medication therapy management (MTM); and developing cost containment and formulary management programs. Pharma-Care is also expanding its work with corporate and municipal clients on a medication risk avoidance program.

“While savings on postage and travel will be in the thousands, the real benefit of using e-SignLive will be to free up our consultants to spend more time generating new business locally and supporting a new service offering that we plan to launch nationally in 2011,” said Blumberg.  “Moving to paperless processing will effectively enable us to increase our revenues and client base at a much lower cost.”

 e-SignLive subscription. Because e-SignLive is integrated with IBM LotusLive, Pharma-Care will also have access to many online collaboration and social networking features that it can use with clients and prospects during the negotiation of contracts and agreements. In order to avoid situations like seasonal mail delays, lost mail or misplaced invoices, the consulting firm also plans to present correspondence and monthly invoices to clients using the e-SignLive service This will also allow Pharma-Care to better service customers that require expedited billing. And because e-SignLive records the entire web process from start to finish, including all web pages and documents that were presented to users, how long customers spent reviewing information, and all actions that that were taken, Pharma-Care will capture and reproduce stronger audit trail information and legal evidence than is possible with pen and paper.

“The value of our client contracts range from a few thousand dollars to millions of dollars,” said Blumberg. “The electronic evidence captured by the e-SignLive service will help us to mitigate risk during our yearly contracting processes, as well as keep accurate records of our business agreements throughout the year.”
