How Vantage Point Software Replaced DocuSign's Overkill with Right-Sized E-Signatures
About Vantage Point Software
Vantage Point Software is a 50-person software company based in Austin. They use e-signatures for vendor contracts, NDAs, and contractor agreements—standard business documents, not complex enterprise workflows. They send 30-40 documents per month.
The Challenge
Paying for a Ferrari to Drive to the Grocery Store
DocuSign is built for enterprises processing thousands of documents. Vantage Point sends 30-40 documents a month. They were paying for features they never used: advanced workflows, enterprise integrations, and API access.
At $25/user/month for 8 users, they were spending $200+/month for basic signatures. Worse, contractors complained that DocuSign's signing process was confusing—they had to create accounts and navigate a complex interface just to sign an NDA.
- $25/user/month × 8 users = $200+/month
- Advanced workflow features never used
- Complex interface for simple NDA signing
- Contractors complained about account creation
- Overkill for 30-40 documents monthly
The Solution
Right-Sized E-Signatures for Actual Needs
VP of Operations Colin Merriweather evaluated Formfy for its streamlined approach. Simple NDA template: 2 signers, 3 fields, done. No account creation required for signers.
They rebuilt their workflows: NDAs sent and signed in minutes, vendor agreements with basic sequential signing, and contractor onboarding combining form, agreement, and W-9 in one flow. Clean interface meant contractors signed without complaints.

The Results
80% Cost Reduction and 24-Hour Turnaround
The results exceeded expectations. Cost dropped from $200+/month to $49/month—an 80% reduction. But the bigger win was speed: contract turnaround went from 5 days (waiting for people to navigate DocuSign) to 24 hours.
Vendor onboarding became 60% faster. Zero complaints from signers—the simple interface meant everyone could figure it out immediately. The tool finally matched their actual needs.
- 80% cost reduction ($200 → $49/month)
- Contract turnaround: 24 hours vs 5 days
- 60% faster vendor onboarding
- Zero complaints from signers
- Simple interface matches simple needs
We used DocuSign for NDAs and vendor contracts. It was like using a sledgehammer to hang a picture frame. Formfy is right-sized for what we actually need.
