Fluidra, a multinational company listed on the Spanish stock exchange, specializes in innovative products for pools and wellness. Founded in 1969, Fluidra operates in more than 47 countries, constantly evolving to meet market demands.
To improve efficiency and sustainability, Fluidra adopted Signaturit Group’s electronic signature solution in 2020. We tell you how.
The challenge
With rapid growth, Fluidra faced challenges in managing the increasing volume of legal documents. The traditional process of printing, signing, scanning and mailing documents was time consuming and inefficient.
Fluidra needed a solution to optimize document management and compliance with various legal regulations.
“For Fluidra, the incorporation of Signaturit Group has marked a before and after in operational efficiency. The electronic signature platform not only ensures us compliance with various legal regulations, but has also been a fundamental pillar in our sustainability strategy, reducing the use of paper and CO2 emissions.
With the electronic signature we have achieved faster, more secure and efficient document management, allowing us to focus our efforts on areas of greater added value for the company.”
Andrés Botella, Global Legal & Tax Director
Solution
Fluidra chose Signaturit Group’s electronic signature platform after an exhaustive selection process. Signaturit was selected for its legal security, ease of use and competitive offering. The platform was initially piloted in the legal and tax teams at Fluidra’s headquarters, and quickly expanded to other departments and international subsidiaries.
Currently, more than 200 users in more than 20 companies and 15 countries use the platform.
