Workspace
Mail, files, documents, chat, meetings, calls and signatures: the day-to-day tools, with the difference that each one can attach what it produces to the customer or order it concerned.

Rutba Sign on film: understand the paper, then draft it for the place it is for
A five minute film walks through the public Rutba Sign site as a person holding a document would: the guides on what can be signed electronically and what makes a signature hold up, then a drafting wizard that starts from the place a document is for.

What the evidence behind an e-signature should contain
When a signed agreement is disputed, nobody argues about the picture of the signature. They argue about who signed, what they saw, when, and whether the document has changed since. Here is what a good evidence record holds, and what to ask any provider.

Every app in the suite now opens at rutba.io
Since 6 October all 46 apps in the Rutba suite run in production, each at its own address under rutba.io, such as pos.rutba.io or books.rutba.io. Your sign-in says whose data you see, so no business needs addresses of its own.

Rutba Sign now comes in smaller sizes
A landlord who signs three leases a year and an office that sends forty agreements a month do not need the same plan. Rutba Sign now has four rungs, the first five envelopes each month are free, and every rung costs less an envelope than the one below it.

Where was that decided? Asking the conversations around a record
Somebody back from leave asks what they missed, where a decision about an order was made, and why a new phone number will not ring. What Rutba Assistant reads across mail, chat and calls to answer, only in the conversations they are part of.

What is waiting for my signature, and what did we send this customer?
A director asks what is waiting for them to sign, what the business has sent a customer and where each agreement stands, and whether a stamp or a notary is needed in the other party’s country. What Rutba Assistant reads in Sign and Workspace to answer.

Stamps, seals and notaries: arranged at cost, and never faked
Some agreements need more than signatures before a court will look at them. The formality is declared on the agreement and has to be satisfied before it is sent or sealed. Arrange it yourself for free, or have a person at Rutba arrange it at cost.

A receipt in your hand before anybody else has signed
In an agreement with five parties, the first to sign may wait weeks for the last. Until now they held nothing for it. Each party now leaves with proof of their own act, countersigned by Rutba the moment they acted.

The documents we refuse to draft, and why that is the product
A flatshare agreement that is not a tenancy, a letter of authority that is not a power of attorney, and wills last of all and on paper. Where a document generator draws its lines says more about it than what it generates.

Answer the questions, and the agreement drafts itself
Eleven everyday agreements, fifteen jurisdictions, and a rule we hold to: a guided document is not a template. It asks what is true, composes the agreement from the answers, and arrives with its parties and fields already in place.

An agreement does not end when it is signed
Signature software treats the signature as the finish line. For the business that sent it, that is the moment an agreement starts costing attention: renewals, notices, formalities, and proof somebody asks for years later.

Anyone can put a picture of a signature on a page
What decides a dispute two years later is whether you can still show what happened: who opened it, from where, what they accepted, in what order, and that not one byte has moved since. That record is the product.

Every business email tool gives you an inbox at your domain
That is the commodity half. The half worth building is an inbox that knows your business: a message from a customer filed against the person, contact, customer or order it concerns, and a To box that knows your CRM contacts.

Every business runs on spreadsheets that were accurate once
The export was correct on the morning somebody ran it. Then stock moved, invoices were paid, and the file kept looking authoritative. Binding a cell to live data is a smaller idea than it sounds, and it fixes the whole class.

Team chat keeps every decision somewhere nobody can find it
Six months later, the reason you discounted that order is in a channel, ninety messages up, phrased in a way nobody would search for. Some conversations belong in a channel. That one belongs on the order.

We built the whole meeting and you still cannot buy it
Rooms, lobby, breakouts, polls, whiteboard, attendance reports: built and tested. The media server all of it talks to is not deployed, so the product is listed as coming soon. Also: why we refuse end-to-end encryption.

Phone calls are where the business happens and the least gets recorded
So we built the record-keeping half first and the telephony second. That is backwards from how phone systems are usually built, and it means you cannot buy this yet, but the half that exists is the half that was missing.

Rutba Drive is running. There is just nowhere to visit it
Folders, versions, sharing, quotas and a published SDK all work today, as the layer underneath Rutba Docs. The standalone interface is not built, so the product is marked coming soon rather than early access.
