Electronic signatures speed up agricultural business by 50%.
The industry is transforming with the adoption of scalable solutions that significantly reduce wait times for document signing and allow them to reduce administrative costs by up to 25%.
Faced with the new wave of technological offerings, the business models of Argentine agricultural producers have been changing. At the same time, the demand for tools to facilitate operational issues also responds to a specific need: the 2025 Report on Digital Security Perception, prepared by CertiSur in collaboration with D’Alessio IROL, indicates that 94% of users expect companies to invest more in fraud and identity theft prevention, and only 4 out of 10 truly believe they are protected by the organizations with which they interact.
In this sense, digital trust is today a strategic value for the agricultural sector, where operational times, information integrity, and contractual traceability are critical factors. Furthermore, the need for sustainability is also paramount. Organizations are under pressure to reduce their environmental impact, and digitalization offers a tangible solution by reducing dependence on paper and minimizing the carbon footprint associated with the physical transport of documents.
“Document management in companies, especially in the agricultural sector, faces significant challenges. Physically sending documents is inefficient and prone to errors, which leads to delays in decision-making and increases operating costs. Lack of visibility into signature processes can lead to the loss of important documents and operator dissatisfaction due to delayed responses. Furthermore, increasing regulation in the industry demands greater transparency and traceability in processes. Companies need solutions that not only optimize document signing but also comply with legal and security regulations. The opportunity lies in digitizing these processes, enabling more agile and efficient management that meets the demands of today’s market,” says Néstor Markowicz, COO of CertiSur.
According to the report, 75% of users know what an online contract is, but only 27% have used it effectively. Furthermore, 81% of those who signed digitally would not know how to detect if the contract was altered, and 59% do not know how to file a claim if it is not properly validated. These figures show a clear opportunity for solutions tailored to agriculture that not only optimize time and reduce costs, but also provide trust, legal traceability, and simplicity in critical business environments.
