Mothership feature

Signed on a phone. Filed. Chased if not.

Staff and parent documents go out, get signed on any phone, and come back as signed PDFs with a full record of who signed what, and when.

How it works

Step by step

Green steps happen on their own. Terracotta steps are the only ones that need a person, usually one click.

In detail

What happens

  1. Many documents are sent for signing automatically by the other features: contracts for new staff, childcare contracts for new families, and updated policies from the guidance tracker. You can also send any document yourself.

  2. Staff documents include contracts and changes, job descriptions, policies and suitability declarations. Parent documents include childcare contracts, fee changes, consents, and medicine and care forms.

  3. Each person signs on their phone. Anyone who hasn't signed is chased until they do.

  4. The result is a signed PDF, signed by both sides, with a record of who signed what and when. It is saved straight into the right file, ready when you need it.
