Meet BDQ’s Real Signature App: Change the Way You Manage Signatures

In today's digital-first workplace, the move to paperless operations isn't just about convenience - it's about compliance, sustainability, and efficiency. Yet for teams who require in-person customer or client sign-offs, digitising that last piece of paper has remained a challenge.

That’s where BDQ’s Real Signature app steps in - a simple, secure solution that enables professionals to capture real, handwritten signatures directly within Jira issues and Confluence pages.

A Simple Tool for Complex, Real-World Needs

Whether you're managing field service jobs, approvals for change requests, or contract sign-offs in Jira or Confluence, Real Signature gives your team the ability to:

✅ Collect physical, in-person signatures via mobile/tablet using a stylus or finger, or on desktop using a mouse

✅ Automatically embed them within the related Jira issue or Confluence page

✅ Store signatures securely for audit and compliance purposes

✅ Go 100% paperless without sacrificing trust or accountability

Available for both Jira and Jira Service Management and Confluence, this app supports frontline industries where real signatures are still critical - from retail and logistics to construction, healthcare, and beyond.

Trusted by Professionals, Rated by Teams

Real Signature currently boasts a perfect 4-out-of-4-star rating on the Atlassian Marketplace with over 45 installations - proof that it’s solving a genuine need for real-world teams.

Go Paperless and Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Companies moving towards sustainable practices know that every sheet of paper - and every physical delivery or archive - adds to their carbon emissions. With Real Signature:

• There's no need to print, scan, or post documents for physical sign-off
• Signed approvals are instantly stored in your Jira or Confluence instance
• You reduce waste, lower costs, and increase operational efficiency

It’s a smart move for organisations that care about sustainability and want to modernise their operations without adding friction.

Seamless for Field and Office Teams

For organisations with teams working on-site - whether installing equipment, conducting audits, or delivering services - capturing accurate data and signatures in the field is critical. BDQ’s Field Service Management for Jira is designed specifically to help field-based operations run more efficiently. It adds powerful features like interactive maps, drag-and-drop scheduling, mobile-friendly views, and technician workload balancing - all fully integrated into Jira Cloud.

When paired with Real Signature, the two apps create a seamless experience: field engineers or reps can be assigned work via the calendar and map view in Field Service Management, then collect in-person signatures at the job site using Real Signature - all without leaving the Jira ecosystem. As soon as the signature is captured, it’s instantly stored within the relevant issue, giving head office and compliance teams immediate visibility and a verifiable audit trail.

No disconnected tools. No uploading PDFs. Just faster, cleaner workflows - whether you're in the field or at your desk.
