If you use Xero, the value of an e-signature tool is not just signing. It is what happens after signing: does the completed document file itself into Xero, against the right contact, in the right organisation? Here is what to look for, and how SignAndGo measures up.
The difference between a generic e-signature tool and one that genuinely works with Xero comes down to these.
The signed PDF should attach itself to the matching Xero contact on completion. No manual download and re-upload.
If you onboard people, the tool should create a Xero contact for someone who is not in Xero yet, and file against it.
If you run more than one entity, you need to connect them all and route each document to the right one.
For Australian businesses, documents and audit trails hosted in Australia keep you aligned with the Australian Privacy Principles.
Signatures must be valid under the Electronic Transactions Act 1999, with an audit trail and verification.
Flat, predictable pricing in Australian dollars beats USD enterprise quotes and per-signer fees.
The main e-signature tools Australian businesses weigh up alongside Xero are SignAndGo, DocuSign, Adobe Sign and Annature. They are all capable signing platforms. The right choice for a Xero user usually comes down to data residency, pricing model, and how automatically a signed document ends up in Xero.
SignAndGo is built in Australia, with all data hosted in Sydney and pricing in AUD with no annual lock-in. Its Xero integration is deliberately focused: when a document is signed, the PDF files itself into Xero against the contact, a contact is created automatically for a new signer, and businesses with several entities can route each document to the correct organisation. It accesses only contacts and attachments in Xero, never your invoices or financial data.
If your priorities are Australian data residency, predictable AUD pricing, and signed documents that file themselves into Xero without manual handling, SignAndGo is built for exactly that.
