Use case
KwikSign needed a seamless, scalable signing solution to launch its blockchain-backed document validation platform without delaying its go-to-market timeline.
Challenge
- Lack of a ready-to-use signing tool: Without an integrated signing solution, KwikSign couldn’t bring its product to market.
Solution
- Instant access to signing capabilities: Nutrient Web SDK provided a fully functional, out-of-the-box signing solution, allowing KwikSign to launch without development delays.
Result
- KwikSign launched six months faster: By integrating Nutrient, KwikSign avoided long development cycles and immediately offered digital signatures to users.
KwikSign is a digital signature platform that allows users to sign contracts online. It also offers features like document validation and multisignature functionality. All signatures are recorded on a blockchain, creating a permanent and tamperproof record.
Finding a reliable signing solution for launch
Simon Read, CEO of KwikSign, knew from the start that a reliable digital signing tool was a fundamental requirement for launching the product. While KwikSign’s vision extended beyond digital signatures to blockchain-backed document validation, the company needed a seamless, scalable solution to provide essential signing functionality from day one. “We needed something that just worked — seamlessly, reliably, and at scale,” Read said.
KwikSign initially considered building much of the document functionality in-house. However, the company quickly realized it would have taken its development team more than six months to build all of the necessary features from scratch. This realization prompted KwikSign to evaluate using an SDK to accelerate time to market. In particular, the company was in need of a scalable solution that could adapt to its unlimited signing model. After looking into possible partners, Read decided that Nutrient Web SDK was the only one that fit all its needs, including easy integration, scalability, and support for an evolving product plan.
“You had a solution that we could just take and integrate very easily, and it solved the problem for us, very quickly as well. So, that was quite a simple decision for us.”

Seamless integration of Nutrient Web SDK
As an early-stage company, KwikSign needed to go to market quickly. After finalizing the validation component, the only remaining element for the product was the digital signature field. This is where Nutrient stepped in. The process began by integrating the Web SDK into KwikSign’s application, focusing on enabling electronic and digital signatures. KwikSign allows customers to sign a contract by either drawing their name, typing their name, or uploading an image file. Read shared that Nutrient “works extremely well for signing documents very, very quickly.” With clear documentation and support, the integration process was straightforward, allowing KwikSign to incorporate signing functionality efficiently.
“We are happy. Nutrient is doing its job — it’s integrated, it’s smooth, and it hasn’t failed us.”

Faster launch, smoother workflows, and future innovation
After implementing Nutrient’s solution, KwikSign was able to launch on schedule, offering a seamless signing experience to the market. The integration was smooth and fit perfectly within the company’s business model, and with Nutrient’s technology in place, KwikSign could focus on expanding its platform’s capabilities rather than troubleshooting a signing solution.
With a solid signing foundation in place, KwikSign is well-positioned to continue growing and adapting to market needs. The company’s development team is now in the process of making freeform text boxes available to its users. This wasn’t an initial need Read was searching for, but since Nutrient is an out-of-the-box solution, it’s easy to add these features. Having the ability to mark on documents was always a vision on KwikSign’s roadmap, but now it’s a reality.
Speed
KwikSign accelerated its go-to-market timeline by at least six months by integrating Nutrient Web SDK instead of building a signing solution from scratch.
Growth
KwikSign’s unlimited signatures model, powered by Nutrient, has allowed the company to attract and retain thousands of users while monetizing through scalable storage solutions.
Expansion
KwikSign is expanding its functionality beyond signatures, now working to allow users to add text fields for job titles, company names, and dates.
KwikSign’s path forward
With Nutrient’s proven technology, KwikSign was able to solve its biggest roadblock — bringing a reliable signing solution to market — without delaying launch or diverting resources to in-house development. KwikSign is also well-positioned to meet evolving market demands, ensuring a seamless, secure, and flexible signing experience for its users now and in the future.
