Embracing the Digital Revolution: Manufacturing Industry's 
Paperless Pursuit 
In an era defined by rapid technological advancements, the manufacturing industry is 
marching steadfastly toward digital transformation. The quest for efficiency, productivity, 
and sustainability has propelled companies to reimagine their traditional processes and 
embrace innovative solutions. Unik PolyPack, a trailblazer in the manufacturing sector, 
stands as a shining example of this transformative journey. 
During our conversation with Siddhi Kabra, Business Manager at Unik PolyPack, we gained 
invaluable insights into their digital transformation voyage. With her keen oversight of 
procurement and customer satisfaction, Siddhi witnessed firsthand the profound impact of 
digitalization and automation on the industry. 
Much like other sectors, the manufacturing landscape is rapidly adapting to new 
technologies. Automation has emerged as a powerful tool, eliminating redundancies and 
reducing dependence on manual labor. As Siddhi emphasized, this shift has not only fueled 
growth but also enhanced efficiency and profitability. 
Moreover, the industry is increasingly embracing environmental consciousness. Businesses 
are taking significant strides toward sustainability by adopting digital invoicing and 
documentation. Going paperless has become a top priority, enabling companies to minimize 
their environmental footprint while streamlining processes. 
Unik PolyPack's commitment to digital transformation and sustainability exemplifies the 
manufacturing industry's collective aspiration. The relentless pursuit of efficiency, cost 
reduction, and environmental responsibility has positioned the manufacturing industry at the 
forefront of the paperless revolution. 
Unik PolyPack's Journey to Paperless Efficiency with DrySign Electronic Signatures  
Unik PolyPack, driven by its unwavering commitment to sustainability and efficiency, 
embarked on a transformative path in 2022 by adopting DrySign eSignatures. What initially

seemed like a means to sign documents online quickly evolved into a comprehensive solution 
for secure and legally compliant digital signatures. DrySign captured their attention, offering 
the perfect blend of document integrity, reduced paper consumption, and enhanced 
efficiency. 
Before embracing DrySign, Unik PolyPack heavily relied on paper-based processes for their 
invoices, vendor contracts, and agreements. The staggering volume of paper used, averaging 
thousands of invoices per year and consuming paper ream after paper ream, posed 
significant challenges. The printing and physical signing of documents not only consumed 
time but also incurred substantial stationery expenses. 
DrySign revolutionized these cumbersome processes by eliminating the need for printing and 
physical signatures. Unik PolyPack could digitally sign and securely transmit invoices, slashing 
paper consumption and related costs. Moreover, the cloud-based storage of signed 
documents eliminated the burdensome physical filing and storage requirements, optimizing 
operational efficiency. 
The implementation of online signatures by DrySign brought significant economic benefits 
for Unik PolyPack. They experienced substantial savings in paper and stationery costs, but 
postage and courier expenses were reduced. The transition to digital processes streamlined 
document management, reducing filing, storing, and handling charges. Siddhi emphasized 
that these savings were just the tip of the iceberg, with even more significant economic 
impacts anticipated as digital adoption and awareness continue to rise. 
Unik PolyPack's shift to paperless efficiency with DrySign exemplifies the power of digital 
transformation in the manufacturing industry.  Listen to the full podcast

Overcoming Barriers to Digital Adoption: What are the problems 
with going paperless?  
In the manufacturing industry's journey toward digital transformation, several reasons can 
hinder companies from fully embracing tools like eSignatures and transitioning to paperless 
offices. However, these barriers can be overcome with proper education and proactive 
solutions. Let's explore the key reasons that prohibit manufacturing companies from going 
digital and moving towards paperless offices: 
1. Resistance to Change: 
o Fear of Change and Disruption: Businesses may hesitate to adopt new 
technologies due to a fear of disrupting existing processes. Change can be 
perceived as risky and may require significant adjustments in workflows and 
employee training. 
 
o Learning Curve and Implementation Challenges: The learning curve associated 
with new digital tools can be a deterrent for some businesses. Implementing and 
integrating these tools into existing systems may require time, resources, and 
expertise that companies might be reluctant to invest in. 
 
2. Safety and Compliance Concerns: 
o Data Security: Worries about data security and unauthorized access to sensitive 
documents and data can prevent companies from fully embracing digital 
solutions. Businesses need reassurance that their information will be protected 
from potential breaches and cyber threats. 
 
o Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with industry regulations and 
legal requirements is paramount. Companies must ensure that digital solutions 
meet all necessary standards, certifications, and legal obligations to maintain 
the integrity and legality of their documents. 
 
3. Lack of Awareness and Understanding: 
o Limited Knowledge: Some businesses may lack awareness of the benefits, 
features, and functionalities of digital tools like eSignatures. Companies must 
understand the potential advantages to be willing to explore these solutions or 
fully comprehend their transformative potential.

o Cost and Efficiency Benefits: Companies may be unaware of the significant cost 
savings, improved operational efficiency, and time savings that come with going 
paperless. Educating businesses about the tangible advantages of digital tools 
can help overcome this barrier. 
 
4. Legacy Systems and Processes: 
o Dependence on Traditional Paper-Based Workflows: Companies relying heavily 
on traditional paper-based processes may need help transitioning to digital 
workflows. Adapting legacy systems and processes to incorporate new digital 
tools can be complex and require careful planning and resources. 
 
o Integration Challenges: Integrating new digital tools with legacy systems and 
workflows can pose technical and logistical challenges. The need for seamless 
integration without disrupting ongoing operations can deter businesses from 
switching. 
 
Overcoming these barriers requires proactive efforts from solution providers, such as 
DrySign, to address concerns, educate businesses about safety measures and compliance 
standards, and highlight the robust protection of company documents. With proper support 
and understanding, manufacturing companies can unlock the full potential of paperless 
offices, streamline operations, and embrace the benefits of digital transformation. 
During our conversation with Siddhi, her appreciation for DrySign was evident. The intuitive 
dashboard emerged as a personal favorite feature, providing a comprehensive view of all 
invoices and documents. This user-friendly interface facilitated easy access to information, 
streamlined checks, and ensured accuracy, enhancing the overall user experience.
