What is a Digital Mailroom?

How Does It Work?

We receive your incoming mail on a daily basis either via a dedicated PO Box or mail forwarded to us. The mail is then opened, sorted, digitised and distributed to your users.

Any original documents such as passport, driving licence, personal documents, etc. are returned to the sender after the scanning process.

Any junk mail is temporarily stored and then securely shredded.

How Will I Access My Digitised Mail?

The digital mail can be delivered to your email inbox and accessed via your Outlook or any other Email application.

We can also import/upload the digital mail directly to your document management system such as Microsoft SharePoint, Office 365, Case Management or a Workflow system.

Whatever your requirement we can tailor the output!
