Stop filing paper permission slips.
Schools, camps, sports leagues, after-school programs. Collect registrations, waivers, and permission slips digitally. Parents sign on their phones.
The paper form problem in education
Every school year starts the same way: stacks of paper forms sent home in backpacks. Permission slips for field trips, medical information forms, photo release waivers, emergency contact updates. Half come back crumpled. A quarter never come back at all.
Administrators spend hours sorting, filing, and chasing down missing signatures. When a form is needed urgently, like a medical authorization during a field trip, it's buried in a filing cabinet back at the office.
DocOtto eliminates the paper trail entirely. Send a link to parents via email or text, and they complete and sign the form on their phone in under a minute. Every signed form is stored digitally, searchable, and accessible from anywhere. No more lost paperwork, no more filing cabinets, and no more chasing down that last parent who forgot to sign.
