Why Our Scan On Demand Service Is So Attractive

Traditional file storage methods, whether in-house or offsite, can lead to loss of time, money, and compliance risks related to GDPR. Although these solutions provide an immediate fix, recurring monthly costs and lengthy file retrieval times make them less viable as long-term solutions. Additionally, these methods provide no backup, no guarantee of data confidentiality, and no contingency for any errors once the files have been shredded.

With our scan on demand solution, storage and retrieval costs decrease each month, and there is no cost for retrieval if you request the same file again. Our service eliminates the risk of files being lost in transit, and once a file has been scanned, there are no further storage costs or need for re-collection. It’s easier to manage access control when files are stored digitally, and the service offers complete peace of mind for disaster recovery. Furthermore, it is much easier to sort files for document retention when stored digitally.

5 Key Reasons Why Businesses Should Choose Our Scan On Demand Service

  • Cost-Effective: Instead of bearing the costs of large-scale scanning projects, businesses can scan documents as needed, ensuring they only pay for what they use.
  • Efficient Digital Access: With our service, businesses no longer have to wait for physical documents. Any document can be converted to a digital format swiftly upon request.
  • Multiple Access, Zero Extra Cost: Once a document is scanned and available digitally, it can be accessed multiple times without incurring additional fees, unlike requesting and paying for physical files repeatedly.
  • Seamless Transition: Our Scan On Demand service makes the shift from physical to digital documentation smooth, bridging the gap between traditional storage and digital accessibility.
  • Space Saving: By opting for selective scanning, businesses can gradually reduce physical storage needs, freeing their up valuable office space.
