Survey Data Capture
We offer survey scanning and data capturing services, that are quick, cost effective, secure and confidential.
Survey data capture
Our survey data capture service benefits from both automated and semi-automated driven processes which provides complete freedom over the design, format and choosing data types on any types of surveys.
The design flexibility enables our clients to focus on the end user instead of designing the survey for the scanning and data capture process in mind. This in return provides our clients greater chance of increasing their user engagement, interactivity and return response rate.
Survey data capture process
Setting up
We work with you to tailor our data capture process to suit your needs including survey design service if you are still in the early stages of your project.
We can collect your surveys from anywhere in the UK within a 24-hour notice. This can be from your office or your preferred location.
The surveys will be prepped for scanning with the removal of any staples, binding etc. as well as sorted into categories where needed.
Capturing data
Once all surveys have been prepared and sorted into the required categories, the scanning process begins which includes producing high resolution digital images of surveys. We use state-of-the-art survey scanners to create digital images which in particular are suitable for the data capture process.
Depending on the data type of your surveys (e.g. printed text, barcode, QR code, handwritten text, illustrations, check boxes, etc.), we apply combination of the OCR, ICR. OMR, Barcode, Manual data entry etc. technologies to capture the survey data.
We are dedicated to provide accurate and high-quality data capture and conversion service. Our quality control processes are certified to ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 27001 (Information Security) and Cyber Essentials (Cyber Security).

Typically, digital images are supplied in a PDF format relating to a scan of each survey and responsive data is supplied in Microsoft Excel, CSV or SPSS format.
Your data can be delivered to you upon completion of the entire project or it can be drip fed in daily, weekly or as suitable batches.

Comments from our clients
Thanks for completing the job on time and with so much care and attention. These are our archive documents that told the Anglian Water story from over 40 years ago; it was really important that they were scanned well and returned to us in the same condition. Pearl kept me up to date with progress of the project and return dates.
Anglian Water Services
I was very happy with the service provided by Pearl Scan. Their whole approach was very professional. I could easily contact them if I had any questions and the turnaround of the work was good. A quality service.
Peel Group
An excellent service, at an affordable rate. We often inherit old hand drawings of churches and spend considerable time digitising them for our use. To be able to send those to someone else to do saves us time and money and enables us to focus on what we are appointed to do – the design elements.
