Introduction
Hold points and witness points can slow down your projects - and cost you time and money waiting for sign-off. But hold points and witness points are not the problem. They are necessary for maintaining quality and quality assurance between parties and stakeholders.
The problem with hold points and witness points is how they're handled. Managing approval signatures and cross-party communication with paper, rigid word and excel documents and emailing back and forth is time-consuming and ineffective when you're trying to deliver a project.
Dashpivot makes managing your hold and witness points process easy through simple workflow automations and digitisation. Using Dashpivot, completing hold points and witness points and signing them off digitally is easy no matter where you are or what device you are using. Once filled in or completed and signed off, Dashpivot workflows automatically notify the next person responsible for signing it off - whether they are an internal or external party.
Managing your witness points and hold points with Dashpivot speeds up and simplifies the entire process, making it professional and fast - meaning less time spent waiting on approvals and more time spent moving projects forward.
