FuseSign is a digital signature platform like no other. Send documents for signing and have them back within hours, not days, with granular control of viewing and signing permissions and security levels, including a full audit trail, all for the price of a stamp.

With FuseSign, your clients will be given one link and page to sign all relevant documents, with no need to remember username and passwords, or even needing to use a desktop computer – FuseSign is mobile friendly, so can be accessed while out of the office! Plus your brand and messaging will be shown on the email notifications and signing page, so they feel secure in the whole process.

Electronic signatures have been recognised by law in Australia since 1999 when the Electronic Transactions Act was passed.  In New Zealand, it was 2002 when the legislation was passed. Under Australian law, contracts can be deemed valid regardless of being concluded verbally, electronically or in a physical paper document format.  The Transactions Act confirms that provided certain requirements are met a contract cannot be denied because it has been concluded electronically. The digital signing platform’s primary objective is to authenticate a signature – to confirm who is actually signing the document and protect the information from tampering.

Clients with this feature can create multiple Business Units within an office and assign users to a single Business Unit.

Enables a typeahead search field on Projects and Standalone Quotes, where users can be searched for and added to the project or quote, regardless of whether there is a specific role they can be assigned or not (i.e. Project Manager, Accredited Certifier, etc.).

Allows the client to carry out a revenue recognition process by creating automated journals for invoices where payment is received in advance of services being delivered (accrual-based accounting). When an invoice is raised, users can code line items against liability accounts (whether this feature is enabled or not). The revenue recognition feature then allows clients to automate the raising of journals in BCS to move amounts from liability accounts to revenue accounts. The journals are raised as Draft Journals and must be approved by a user with the Accounts role. If a Xero account is connected, then when approved, these are posted to Xero. BCS tracks the amounts remaining to be recognised as revenue.

This feature can also be used by a user to manually create Journals, but it can integrate with the Workflow Automation feature to do this automatically. For revenue to be recognised automatically, the client must define milestones, then set these milestones at the point they occur in the list of fees. Workflows can then be triggered to recognise all remaining revenue above the milestone when a triggering event occurs.

NOTE: This feature cannot be used in conjunction with User Revenue Allocation

Allows the client to create staged invoices and enables the Accepted Fees tab for tracking staging of invoicing and payments.

Allows client to opt in to showing a line lookup on staged invoices that contain large numbers of staged billing header lines, for the user to pick from and add to the staged invoice. This is to mitigate searching issues on staged invoice pages where many quote/bill etc lines exist.

Allows users to record time against tasks/roles and projects

Users will log work on Timesheets which will calculate the cost of work, based on the user’s Cost Rate. The sum of the cost of Timesheets can determine the cost of a Phase.

Clients can add an Invoice Amount to Timesheet entries including reviewing and invoicing time.
