Policy management

Every policy,
signed off.

Publish a policy from the admin. You see exactly who has read it and who has signed.

Pro

Read it. Sign it.

A new policy arrives as a push notification. Crew read it through to the last page on their own phone, then sign with a finger to acknowledge it.

The signature is saved under the crew member’s name, with the time and the version it was signed against.

Publish the controlled copy.

Upload the document, choose who signs, and publish. Every policy lives in one library, version by version.

PDF or Word

Upload the file you already hold. A Word file is rendered to PDF, and that version becomes the controlled copy.

Everyone, a department, or a role

Set the audience when you publish. It is fixed against that version, so a crew change later does not change who was asked to sign it.

Versions

Re-issue and everyone in scope signs again. Each earlier signature stays attached to the version it covered.

Who has signed, and who has not.

Every policy carries a signed count. Open it to see where every person got to.

SignedThe name, the time, and the signature they drew.
Read, not signedThey reached the last page and stopped there.
Not openedThey have not opened this version yet.
RemindOne push to whoever is still outstanding.

For an audit, download the PDF certificate or a CSV: every name, where they got to, and the version they signed.

What the signed receipt records.

The receipt keeps what an auditor asks for.

Tied to the exact file

The receipt stores a hash of the file’s contents at the moment it was signed. If the document is replaced later, the signature still shows what that person actually read.

Name and rank on the day

Signer name and rank are recorded as they were when they signed, so a promotion or a departure later does not change the record. The signature itself is kept as an image.

Written once

A signed receipt cannot be edited or removed, in the admin or anywhere else. It is the compliance record.

You do not do the chasing.

A new joiner gets one push that covers everything they owe, then a weekly reminder until it is signed. Never one per policy, so the crew do not learn to ignore them.

When you want it sooner, the Remind button pushes whoever is still outstanding.

Before you publish.

Who has to sign?

Everyone on board, a single department, or a single role. You set it when you publish, and it is frozen against that version.

What does the crew member see?

The document itself on their own phone. The sign step opens once they reach the last page, and the signature is locked to that exact version.

What happens when a policy changes?

Upload the new file and re-issue it. The new version becomes the controlled copy and starts with no signatures, so everyone in scope signs again.
