How We Scan Records

Secure Nationwide Collection- We can collect your records from anywhere in the UK the same, or next day as required. We can also provide A3 size boxes to hold your records securely during transportation.

Preparation- Prior to scanning records, we will remove all fasteners such as paper clips, staples etc to ensure a smooth scanning process while keeping your records in the correct order.

Record Scanning- We will scan records using our high quality, super fast scanners and produce digital records in your required format such as PDF, TIFF or JPEG. We can scan records as small as a till receipt right up to A3 large format drawings and plans in full colour or black and white.

File Indexing (for record archiving)- Once we have scanned your records, they can be indexed by your required field/s. Common choices are file name, date, client name, address and reference number. This enables easier file retrieval.
