eSignature

What eSignature does

eSign.AI is a Hong Kong-headquartered electronic signature and contract execution platform provider serving enterprise and SMB customers globally. The platform combines traditional eSignature capabilities (digital signatures, template management, bulk send, scheduled sending, member management, seal management, identity verification, and signing notifications) with an AI-powered contract lifecycle layer that includes AI risk identification, agreement summarization, AI translation, AI contract drafting, and an AI agent for end-to-end contract execution. The product is available in 16+ language versions and is supported by three data centers located in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Frankfurt for enterprise-grade reliability and data residency.

The company serves a diverse enterprise customer base across technology (HP, OPPO Group, Micron Technology, BeyondSoft), real estate (Greenland Hong Kong, Goldlion, Qingduan Cloud), retail and consumer goods (Canada Goose, Mixue, Meiying Home), manufacturing (Winner Medical), construction (CSCEC International), and financial services (Far East Horizon), among others. Identity verification is anchored to government-grade regional digital identity systems including Singapore Singpass and Hong Kong iAM Smart, and the platform integrates with Microsoft SAML, Google Login, Okta, WhatsApp, Lark, and Beisen HRIS.

Revenue is generated through a freemium SaaS subscription model differentiated by unlimited users and no per-seat fees, with Free, Basic, and Professional tiers. The Professional plan includes native API functionality at no additional cost. Distribution is hybrid: direct enterprise field sales for large deployments, self-serve product-led growth (PLG) for SMBs, cloud marketplace listings on Alibaba Cloud, AWS, and Huawei Cloud, and a partner referral program. Compliance posture is comprehensive, covering ISO 27001, ISO 27018, GDPR, the EU Trusted List (eIDAS), ESIGN/UETA, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
