He's been in agreement since Tuesday. All he's missing is a printer
The price suits him. To say yes: print, sign, scan, send back. Without a printer, he puts it off until Monday and forgets. Here, he signs with his finger in two clicks.
Tuesday, 9.10 am: Mr Fabre said yes on the phone
Between his yes and the start of the job
He agreed on Tuesday,
he signed on Tuesday.
He never says no, he puts it off until Monday
He agrees on the price, and the only way he can tell you is by printing
He has no printer at home, and the quote waits in his inbox
He photographs the signed page, it comes out crooked, the amount is unreadable
He sends you back page 3 without page 1, and it all has to be done again
He's signing online for the first time and wonders whether it's really worth anything
You decide, step by step, what you hand over
Here's what becomes of Mr Fabre's yes, step by step. For each one, say whether it goes through Atlas® or stays as it is today, then run the simulation to see what he experiences.
He receives a link, not an attachment
A link by text, no attachment: nothing to download, no password.
He reads the quote on his phone
The document displays at the right size: he finds the amount and the line items straight away.
He signs with his finger, and he ticks
A white box, he traces his name with his finger, he ticks that he accepts the amount and the terms.
He receives his copy and his proof
His copy and the certificate arrive within the minute: who, when, from which device.
The job moves forward, or it waits
The job is booked, the deposit collected, the materials ordered with his money.

Three weeks lost, and nobody hesitated
Mr Fabre said yes on the phone on Tuesday morning. Here's what becomes of that yes.
He opens the quote on his phone
He traces his name with his finger, ticks two boxes. At 9.12 am, it's signed and you're told.
Today: he receives a quote to print. No printer at home, he'll do it at the office. You don't even know whether he's opened the file.
The job has been booked for six days
The deposit is collected, the materials are ordered with his money and not yours.
Today: still nothing. You don't dare chase, he'd think you doubted him. You leave the slot open just in case.
The job is finished and invoiced
You're already on the next one, with the quote signed, time-stamped, findable in two seconds.
Today: he calls back, embarrassed, signed quote under his arm. Your week is full, the work is pushed to the end of the month.
Eighteen days saved per job. Mr Fabre's yes, his quote brought back: twenty-one days lost. Signed with a finger: yes in two minutes, job within three days.
Two minutes, two clicks, no account to create
The question he'll ask you: is it worth as much as a signed piece of paper? Yes, and often more. Here's what each one proves.
Same value as a handwritten one if the process identifies its author, Article 1367 of the French Civil Code.
Time, device and connection address recorded to the second.
The document is locked, any alteration shows.
Decree no. 2017-1416 of 28 September 2017: presumed reliability, qualified signature. eIDAS, Article 25: effect equivalent to handwritten. ANSSI, national trusted list.
The date is the one he wrote by hand.
A signature can be disputed, and expert analysis is expensive.
A page can be swapped after the fact, and the original gets lost.
What can't be signed this way: Article 1174 of the French Civil Code allows electronic documents, Article 1175 excludes family law, inheritance and non-professional guarantees. A quote, no problem at all.
