The Success Story

New Jersey’s largest clinical pharmacy consulting firm has made it faster and more convenient for healthcare providers to sign up for its services with e-SignLive™. Clients and consultants can now negotiate, sign and renew yearly contracts quickly and easily over the web.

“Eliminating paper from our contracting and document delivery processes has significantly reduced the time, cost and need to travel in order to negotiate and execute business agreements with our nearly 400 clients,” says Scott Blumberg, Chief Financial Officer at Pharma-Care.

By replacing its manual, pen-and-paper processes with e-SignLive™, Pharma-Care’s more than 50 consultants no longer need to travel to each of the client offices or mail documents to clients in order to have yearly contracts renewed or monthly invoices addressed. Instead, clients can easily review and sign contracts online, from anywhere at anytime.

“While savings on postage and travel is in the thousands, the real benefit of using e-SignLive™ is to free up our consultants to spend more time generating new business and supporting a new services,” says Blumberg. “Moving to paperless processing effectively enables us to increase our revenues and client base.”

To further support new business development, Pharma-Care also uses e-SignLive™ for IBM LotusLive which gives them access to many online collaboration and social networking features that it can use with clients and prospects during the negotiation of contracts and agreements.

And because e-SignLive™ patented Process Reviewer™, Pharma-Care can 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 helps us to mitigate risk during our yearly contracting processes, as well as keep accurate records of our business agreements throughout the year.”
