How Our Document Scanning Process Works

We have a tried-and-tested document scanning process that ensures your documents are digitised accurately, efficiently, and securely. Here is a brief overview of our document scanning process:

  1. Collection: We can collect your documents from your offices in London or from anywhere in the UK, using our secure and dedicated transportation services.
  2. Preparation: We remove any staples, paperclips, or bindings to ensure that each document is flat and ready for scanning. We can also assist you in boxing up your documents if required.
  3. Scanning: Our state-of-the-art scanning equipment captures your documents at high resolution, producing clear and accurate digital images. We use OCR (optical character recognition) technology to convert your documents into searchable text, allowing you to quickly and easily locate the information you need.
  4. Indexing: We can index your documents using a range of criteria such as date, name, and reference number, making it easy for you to organise and retrieve your digital documents.
  5. Quality Control: Our experienced team of quality control specialists review every scanned image to ensure that they meet our high standards of accuracy and legibility.
  6. Delivery: We can deliver your digitised documents to you in a range of formats, such as PDF, TIFF or JPEG. We can also upload your digital documents to our online document management system, Pearl Cloud, if you choose that option.
  7. Shredding: If you choose our shredding service, we can securely shred your original paper documents once you have received your digital copies.
