- Record your drives automaticallyLet your Android phone or iPhone record your business drives for your mileage log — setting it up, when it records, your working hours, recording a drive yourself, and filing what it couldn't match.
- Close out a signing and get paidWhen the last page is signed — your journal lines, the fees you actually charged, then the invoice, a card, or a payment marked received, and the receipt.
- Send your first orderHow a title, escrow, lending or law office sends a notary a signing — through the notary's order link or from your desk — and follows it to the signature.
