Following the launch of the new Tractis Contracts website, today we announce the launch of the new Tractis Templates website.

Automate the creation of your contracts

Tractis Templates allows you to automate the creation of contracts using reusable templates. You just have to create your template and specify the details of the contracts that will be generated from it.

Creating and customizing contracts is one of the most tedious commercial tasks there is. Can you imagine your customers doing that for you? Tractis Templates allows you to do just that. Just define once, the text, fields, signature methods and workflows of your template and let your customers do the rest. And, best of all, it is free.

Tractis Templates allows you to invoke contract templates from your own applications or web services. You have two integration methods: via HTML buttons (easy, fast and requires no programming) or via API (more powerful and flexible, but requires programming).

The hidden gem of Tractis

Tractis Templates is often unfairly overshadowed by Tractis Contracts, its service sibling. It is a shame. The opportunities for optimization in contracting processes begin long before the mere formalization (signature) of a contract.

In fact, Tractis Templates is a key service for Tractis daily functioning. It allow us to automate contracting processes, save time and, by freeing us from repetitive low value tasks in creating and customizing contracts, it helps us maintain high productivity and team morale. As an example, all our processes for applying to Tractis ProBono, enrollment in the Tractis affiliation program, purchase of Credit Packs, contracting SLAs,  signing NDAs prior to agreements, letters of proxy voting in general meetings… run on Tractis Templates. Ultimately, Tractis Templates enables us to do more (quotations, purchases, partnerships…) with less (emails, hours, employees…).

We hope this new website will help raise the awareness of the major features and main functionalities of this “hidden gem” of the Tractis platform.

Put your contracts on autopilot. You will not regret it. You will only regret not having done it before.

Most on-line contracting processes comprise three steps:

1. Users introduce their data on a form.
2. Users review the contract form customized with their data.
3. Users sign and send their application.

In processes involving signing with an electronic certificate, it is often required to check that the ID number entered on form matches the ID number stored in the certificate used for signing.

Until now, such testing had to be performed manually. Starting today, Tractis enables this check to be performed in a completely automatic fashion. If the numbers do not match, signing is not allowed and the user receives an error message.

In short, it is now much easier to ensure that the person signing is the same person for whom the contract has been customized.

To use this new functionality, just add a new parameter, called “validate_cert_dni_attribute” to your Tractis Contracts API call to “Create contract”.

Automatic validation of ID numbers works not only for the Spanish DNIe, but for all certificates supported by Tractis.

The competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all, but goes on making his own business better all the time.

We are most pleased and proud to announce that ECIJA and Tractis have entered into an agreement to collaborate in the development and marketing of joint “techno-legal” solutions.

ECIJA is an unusual law firm. To almost everyone they are not a reference but “the” reference firm in Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) and Information Security. Their list of awards in these areas speaks for itself. However, what not everyone knows is that this avowed focus on TMT is not a mere declaration of intent or marketing posturing, but has a real impact on the company. As an example, their team is made up of 50% technologists and 50% lawyers. It is this company DNA that allows them to tackle complex projects involving technical and legal angles, at a high level of quality that has earned them the success they enjoy today.

We believe ECIJA is an ideal partner and that this agreement is both a recognition and a reinforcement of the Tractis platform and the level it has attained. On the one hand, it strengthens our service offering, especially for those clients making an intensive use of authentication and signature methods offering lower assurance levels, and on the other hand, gives us the opportunity delve deeper in the development of new solutions and explore new uses of our technology hand in hand with one of the top experts in the industry.

At Tractis we started by offering electronic signature for contracts, we went on to identity verification, next we added electronic certification services in the cloud and then solutions for the massive deployments of smart card readers.

As the number of services we offer increases, it becomes increasingly evident the need to organize them so we can communicate, as clear as possible, the value of each service.

The main page of our new website offers you a summary of all our services. You will see there that each “Product Family” and each “Product” have their own section.

Today we are launching the new website for Tractis Contracts. There you will find a wealth of additional information, both in English and Spanish, about our most veteran service. From a description of the main characteristics, to a tour describing the most important features, different integration methods to add Tractis Contracts to your website and pricing.

We encourage you to visit and share with us any questions or suggestions for improvement.

From day one all our product families (Identity, Signatures, Webservices and Hardware) have been available in three languages: Spanish, Catalan and English.

From today you can also visit the Tractis commercial website in English. All you have to do is to use the language selector you will find on the top right corner of some pages (see image below) or the one at the bottom of all pages.

As we mentioned in November, when bringing out the English version of the Tractis Terms and Policies, we are working to have full multi-language functionality, not just for our products, but also for our commercial website and other marketing materials. Likewise we are working to expand the information and make more of languages available on our website.

Any comment or suggestion for improvement will be most welcome.

You only have power over people so long as you don’t take everything away from them. But when you’ve robbed a man of everything he’s no longer in your power — he’s free again.

At Tractis we are working in an internationalization project to make our website, and not only Tractis services, accesible in several languages​​.

We have started our translation work with the legal documentation. Starting today, you can see the following documents, in Spanish and English:

• Terms of use: Spanish | English.
• Legal notice: Spanish | English.
• Privacy Policy: Spanish | English.
• Validation Policy: Spanish | English.
• Timestamping Policy: Spanish | English.
• Long Term Archive Policy: Spanish | English.

Soon, we will be enabling English translations for the rest of our commercial web site.

This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember’d;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

- Enrique V. Act IV. Scene III. William Shakespeare.

We have decided to make our monthly subscription Plans still more attractive. Besides enjoying fees up to 30% lower, free clickwrap signatures, unlimited users and APIs, as of today, you will get free readers also when you contract your Plan.

The number of free readers that you will get varies with the Plan you contract:

• Basic Plan (9,99 €/month): 1 courtesy reader.
• Startup Plan (49 €/month): 3 courtesy readers.
• Business Plan (199 €/month): 10 courtesy readers.
• Enterprise Plan (599 €/month): 30 courtesy readers.

This promotion applies only to new Plans and is limited to one Reader Pack per client and Plan. The reader model you will receive will be the Tractis Slim Reader , a reader compatible with all operating systems, ultra slim design and with an extremely low error rate (0,07%). The procedure for getting the readers is simple: once you contract your monthly subscription Plan, you will get an email with a link to place your order and enter the address where you want your courtesy readers delivered. You will receive them within 24-48 hours.

As always, there is no time commitment to the Plan. You may cancel when you want. For example, it is perfectly acceptable to contract your Plan just to try it, get the free readers and discontinue it the next month. Easy, immediate and no questions asked.

We are aware that, in many cases, the value of the readers exceeds the first month fee. No problem. We are confident that, once you experience the advantages of operating on-line, with zero paperwork, zero to and from, zero queuing and zero waiting, you will not go back.

We encourage you to try the Tractis Plans. You will get everything you need to start benefiting from the DNIe, using the most advanced e-commerce platform and without risking anything.
