WQ3

Procurement solutions

Move procurement documents from internal approval to supplier signature

Give requests, reviews, approvals, and signatures a clear sequence with one status procurement can follow.

Where work stalls

Replace scattered follow-up with a clear workflow

Connect each recurring problem to a practical step the team can follow.

Challenge 01

Requests stall between several departments.

With WQ3

Define the reviewers and approvers before the document reaches the supplier.

Challenge 02

Suppliers work from different locations.

With WQ3

Send the agreement to the external party for remote signature after approval is complete.

Challenge 03

Multiple copies make the approved version unclear.

With WQ3

Keep the document journey and completed copy connected to one workflow.

A practical example

Documents to include in your procurement process

Plan for the supporting documents as well as the main agreement. For each document, identify the participants, signing requirements and evidence your team will need later.

01

Purchase requests and purchase orders

Define the required reviewers and authorized approvers before preparing the document for signature.

02

Supplier agreements, NDAs and amendments

Assess signing requirements for each document separately, including amendments that need their own review.

03

Delivery acknowledgements

Include acknowledgements in your document planning, with the intended signers identified before sending.

04

Supply, driver and courier contracts

Use remote or token signing for supply contracts where required. Driver and courier contracts can use bulk send.

A practical checklist for each signing request

1. Establish requirements. Decide who must sign, confirm signing authority separately, and identify any requirement for account verification or a particular signing level.

2. Prepare the signing setup. Use a reusable template where useful, then check the document’s details, intended recipients and information each recipient should receive.

3. Check the sequence. Confirm that the configured participants and order reflect the required internal decisions before external signature. Select each signer’s level before sending.

4. Review before release. Documents are locked once sent, so check the version and recipients first. Each signer receives an individual, private signing link.

5. Prepare the handover. After completion, review the recorded actions and keep the final file, completion certificate and verification reference together as your team’s filing practice.

Match the signing level to the document’s requirements

WQ3 has exactly three signing levels. Choose according to the agreement’s requirements, not its title alone; different signers can use different levels in the same document.

01

Electronic signature

Suitable for everyday agreements. Consider it for routine supplier agreements, NDAs or delivery acknowledgements when their requirements allow. Signers use a secure invitation link on any device.

02

Remote signing

Choose for formal or high-value supplier agreements and supply contracts where remote signing meets the required signing form.

03

Token signing

Choose for formal or high-value supply contracts where token signing is required. Confirm the receiving organisation’s requirements before selecting this level.

Follow deadlines and review the evidence

As an internal working practice, assign responsibility for reminders and record the deadlines your procurement team needs to follow. Use document status to guide follow-up; these are procedural recommendations, not claims about automated reminder or deadline features.

Keep identity requirements separate: eKYC is an optional account-verification add-on that can be required with any signing level. It is not a fourth level.

Review the audit trail to see who did what and when, from sending through final signature. Every completed document includes a completion certificate.

To verify a signed contract, scan the QR code on the final file or certificate. The public check page needs no account and shows signer names, signing levels and timestamps. Compare the file’s SHA-256 fingerprint with the stored fingerprint; investigate a mismatch before relying on the copy.

WQ3 is aligned with Egypt’s E-Signature Law No. 15 of 2004. Verification supports review but does not establish signing authority or replace assessment of applicable legal conditions.

Frequently asked questions

How should we choose a signature level for a supplier agreement?+

WQ3 offers three levels: electronic signature, remote signing, and token signing. Use electronic signature for everyday agreements, and consider remote or token signing for formal or high-value contracts, according to their requirements. You can assign a different level to each signer in the same document.

Does verifying a supplier representative's identity prove their authority to sign for the company?+

The eKYC add-on verifies the account holder's identity and can be required with any signature level; it is not a separate signing level. Authority to bind the supplier company is a separate question, so procurement should review the appropriate authorization documents.

What if the supplier requests changes after the document has been sent?+

WQ3 locks documents once sent, so treat changed terms as a revision requiring review rather than a silent edit to the sent copy. Route the revised terms back to the relevant approvers before sending them for signature, so internal approval covers what both parties will sign.

What evidence can we retain for a later procurement review?+

Every completed document includes an audit trail and completion certificate recording actions, participants, and timing. Keep these with the final contract and relevant purchasing records to support internal review, rather than relying on the signature page alone.

How can finance or an auditor verify a supplier contract copy?+

Every contract signed through WQ3 has a public verification page accessible without an account, using the QR code and reference on the final file and completion certificate. Verification compares the file's SHA-256 fingerprint with the stored fingerprint to reveal changes, and displays signer names, signature levels, and the timestamp of each step.
