Document Scanning Benefits

Free up valuable space

With our document scanning and digitisation expertise, you can unlock your valuable, revenue-generating office space by converting physical paper documents into digital searchable records. Say goodbye to filing cabinets and cluttered paper storage.

Securely protect your information

Store documents securely in the cloud with controlled access levels and fully auditable traceability. Reduce the risk of document loss, damage or theft. Simplify regulatory compliance through improved access to information.

Centralise access

Bring all of your information together in one place - ingest documents from other locations, such as other cloud repositories, enterprise content management systems (ECMs) and file shares - for enhanced visibility, connection and access.

Quickly search all documents

Using optical character recognition (OCR) technology, your document contents will be fully indexed and text searchable giving fast access to your information where and when you need it most. Suitable for most file types and available in 50+ languages.

How it works

Removal

Documents are packed and collected from your location via tracked, unliveried vehicles. For large-scale, multi-site projects, a collection schedule will be arranged.

Preparation

On arrival, documents are booked onto internal tracking systems, then each document is manually prepared for scanning by sorting, removal of paperclips and staples.

Scanning

Documents are scanned in B&W or colour to your preferred format, with OCR if required. They are then indexed and structured as per your requirements.

Delivery

Electronic documents are returned to you via cloud portal access, integrated with your document management system, SFTP or encrypted hard drive.
