Quality & Compliance Archive Digitised for Craigavon Pharmaceutical Manufacturer
A pharmaceutical contract manufacturing organisation based in Craigavon had accumulated a substantial archive of quality and compliance documentation spanning more than a decade of operations. The archive included batch manufacturing records, validation protocols, change control documentation, deviation reports, and SOP revision histories – all subject to strict GMP retention requirements and liable to be requested during regulatory inspections by the MHRA or FDA.
Physical retrieval of specific batch records during audits was time-consuming and introduced the risk of documentation gaps. The organisation required a digitisation solution that would preserve document integrity, support their quality management system taxonomy, and deliver a fully auditable digital archive accessible to their QA and regulatory affairs teams.
Pearl Scan conducted a detailed scoping exercise with the client’s quality and document control teams before agreeing an indexing structure aligned to their existing QMS. All documents were collected under full chain-of-custody procedures, scanned to archive-quality resolution, and indexed by document type, batch number, product code, and effective date. The completed digital archive was delivered via secure encrypted transfer and integrated directly into the client’s document management system.
Outcome: Regulatory inspection preparation time was reduced dramatically — batch records previously requiring hours to locate and compile were retrievable in seconds. The organisation eliminated the risk of documentation gaps during MHRA inspections and now maintains a complete, auditable digital quality archive compliant with GMP documentation requirements.
Bulk and Archive Records Digitised for Armagh Public Sector Organisation
An organisation in Armagh City was managing a large archive of documents, historic records, and administrative correspondence accumulated over several decades. Many records were stored in deteriorating physical form across both active filing systems and off-site storage, creating challenges for Freedom of Information compliance, subject access request handling, and day-to-day casework. The organisation’s document management obligations under ICO guidance required a structured approach to the digitisation and disposal of legacy paper records.
Pearl Scan carried out a full scoping exercise of the archive before proposing a phased scanning programme that aligned with the organisation’s operational schedule and budget. Documents were carefully catalogued, collected under full chain-of-custody procedures, and scanned at image resolutions appropriate to each document type – from standard A4 correspondence to oversized planning maps and drawings. All files were indexed to the organisation’s own record classification system and delivered to their internal secure servers via encrypted transfer. Legacy paper records were subsequently destroyed under Pearl Scan’s BS 15713-certified shredding service, with full certificates of destruction provided to support the organisation’s ICO compliance reporting.
Outcome: The organisation freed significant storage space, reduced FOI and SAR response times from days to minutes, and now holds a fully searchable digital archive of decades of historic records – accessible to authorised staff and fully aligned with ICO records management guidance.

Document Scanning Services Across Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon
The ABC borough is Northern Ireland’s most economically productive non-Belfast council area – the second highest GVA contributor in the region, home to over 8,000 businesses, and a globally recognised hub for agri-food, pharmaceutical, advanced manufacturing, and life sciences. It sits strategically on the Dublin – Belfast Economic Corridor, giving its businesses direct access to two of Ireland’s largest economic markets. Major employers generate significant document volumes here – Almac Group’s global pharmaceutical operations in Craigavon, Moy Park’s food manufacturing facilities, and Kingspan’s manufacturing and engineering documentation are just three examples of the complex, compliance-critical archives that require professional digitisation. Pearl Scan serves all of these requirements – alongside the daily document management needs of the borough’s thousands of SMEs, legal practices, councils, and healthcare providers. We cover the entire ABC borough, including Armagh City, Craigavon, Portadown, Lurgan, Banbridge, Dromore, Richhill, Tandragee, Gilford, and surrounding towns and villages.
