The Print-Sign-Scan Era Is Over
96% of businesses in Qatar are SMEs. And the vast majority still rely on wet-ink signatures for everyday documents. That means printing, signing, scanning, and emailing — for documents that could be signed in 2 minutes online.
Here are the five document types you should digitize first, starting today.
1. Employment Contracts & Offer Letters
Every new hire means an offer letter, an employment contract, and usually an NDA. For a company hiring 10 people a year, that's 30+ documents manually processed.
Why digitize: Offer letters need to be signed quickly — top candidates won't wait 3 days for a printed contract to arrive. Send it via SahlSign and get it signed the same day.
Template available: SahlSign includes a pre-built Arabic/English employment offer letter template.
2. Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)
NDAs are the most common business document that still gets printed unnecessarily. Whether you're sharing a pitch deck with an investor or briefing a contractor, the NDA needs to be signed before work begins.
Why digitize: NDAs should take 5 minutes, not 5 days. Send a signing link, get it done, move on to the actual work.
3. Vendor & Service Agreements
Every supplier relationship starts with a service agreement. For SMEs working with 10-20 vendors, that's a significant volume of contracts — each requiring signatures from both parties.
Why digitize: Vendor agreements involve two parties who are often not in the same building. E-signatures eliminate the back-and-forth.
4. Lease Agreements
Whether you're leasing office space, a retail unit, or a warehouse — the tenancy contract is one of the most frequently signed documents in Qatar business.
Why digitize: Qatar's rental market processes over 100,000 lease contracts per year. Every one of them can be legally signed electronically under the ECTL.
5. Policy Acknowledgments & Compliance Forms
HR departments collect dozens of signed acknowledgments: IT security policies, code of conduct, health and safety, data privacy consent. For a company with 50 employees, that's 200+ signed forms per year.
Why digitize: Bulk send the same policy document to all employees at once. Track who has signed and who hasn't from a single dashboard. Keep the audit trail for compliance reviews.
