Feature update: It’s a Date! (and we’ll fill it in for you too) 😉

💥 New Feature Update 💥

It’s a Date (and We’ll Fill It in for You Too!)

Let’s be honest: contract signing shouldn’t feel like a chore. Whether you're onboarding a new customer, finalizing a vendor agreement, or getting an internal policy signed off, the last thing you want is to lose momentum at the finish line.

At ROGER, we believe that every part of the signing experience should feel fast, effortless, and intuitive—and that includes the smallest details, like entering a date.

Think about it: how many times have you or someone on your team paused while filling out a contract, wondering if they should write 01/25/2025, 1-25-25, or January 25, 2025? It may seem minor, but inconsistent date formats create friction, confusion, and even potential legal ambiguity.

That’s why we’re rolling out something deceptively simple but super impactful:

Introducing: The Smart Date Field 🗓️

With our new Date Field, ROGER now makes handling dates in contracts a whole lot easier—both for you and your signers. It's designed to solve a problem that almost every business has encountered but rarely thinks about: the messy, inconsistent, and manual task of entering dates.

Here's What’s New:

✅ Consistent, Standardized Dates
Say goodbye to a wild mix of date formats scattered across your contracts. With the Date Field, every date is automatically formatted to be clean, professional, and uniform across all documents. No guesswork. No reformatting. No awkward "wait... which date is this supposed to be?" moments.

✅ Auto-Fill for Signature Dates
When a contract includes a field for the signature date, ROGER will now automatically fill it in the moment a signer completes the document. That means one less field for your signers to worry about and one more way we’re helping you reduce drop-off during the signing process.

Adding a Date Field in ROGER is quick and easy—just click and select “Date” to ensure that signature dates are auto-filled, keeping contracts clean, consistent, and accurate.

Why This Matters

You might be wondering: “It’s just a date—why make a big deal about it?”

Fair question. But at ROGER, we sweat the small stuff. Because small stuff adds up.

✨ More Clarity, Less Confusion

Inconsistent dates can lead to misinterpretations, especially across countries or departments. For example, 04/05/2025—is that April 5th or May 4th? Depends on where you are. Standardizing the format eliminates ambiguity, which is especially important for legal documents.

⏱️ Less Work for Everyone

When the system auto-fills dates or keeps them consistent, that’s time saved—not just for your signers, but also for your legal team, admins, and customer support who won’t have to double-check or clarify things later.

📈 Higher Completion Rates

Every time a user has to stop and manually fill something out, it’s a potential point of friction—and friction slows down conversions. By removing even the smallest barriers, like typing in a date, we’re helping you close deals faster and smoother.

🎯 Accuracy

Who remembers what day it is anymore? ROGER does, that’s who. By auto-filling the date for your Signer, you ensure that the information is correct and accurate 100% of the time.

Real Talk: Signing Shouldn’t Be This Hard

Let’s face it: most e-signing tools are good… but clunky. You’ve probably seen it yourself—confusing layouts, required fields that don’t make sense, and weird little speed bumps that interrupt the signing flow.

At ROGER, our mission is to make signing feel invisible—like it just happens, intuitively and instantly. That means removing every little annoyance, even ones you’ve gotten used to tolerating. The Date Field is just one of the many micro-fixes we’re rolling out to make your entire contract process seamless from start to finish.

What This Means for You

If you’re a ROGER user (or thinking of becoming one), here’s what you’ll get out of this update:

For Teams and Admins:

• You won’t have to double-check if signers filled out the date.

• You’ll spend less time editing contracts post-signature for formatting issues.

• Your contracts will look more professional and polished every time.

For Signers:

• No thinking. No typing. Just sign, and ROGER fills in the rest.

• Less cognitive load = faster signing = higher completion rates.

• One more reason to enjoy working with your brand.

For Legal and Compliance Teams:

• Uniform formatting makes auditing easier.

• Automatic date capture ensures legal timestamping accuracy.

• Fewer errors and discrepancies to clean up later.

What’s Next?

The Date Field is part of a larger initiative to fine-tune the ROGER signing experience. Over the next few months, we’ll be releasing a series of updates—some big, some small—but all focused on the same goal: making contract signing truly frictionless.

Keep an eye out for:

• Smarter pre-filled fields

• Conditional logic enhancements

• Even tighter integrations with tools you already use

• ...and a few surprises we’re not ready to reveal yet 👀

We believe every update—no matter how small—should move you one step closer to a world where contracts don’t slow you down but power you forward.
