document scanning solutions for managing office documents

BETTER DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT WITH INNOVATIVE SCANNING AND DATA SOLUTIONS:
ACCESS DOCUMENTS IN SECONDS AND MAXIMISE BUSINESS ROI

Tired of wasting hours sifting through stacks of paperwork on a Friday afternoon just to find that one document that your boss urgently needs before the weekend? Frustrated by how much valuable office space is wasted on hundreds of filing cabinets? Annoyed about a disorganised filing system that just doesn’t get the job done fast enough?

If any of those scenarios hit close to home, you’re not alone. 

Picture this: all your valuable documents, blueprints, plans, and archives can be accessed with a simple keystroke, where the labyrinthine corridors of file cabinets and dusty archives are swapped for a sleek, organised digital haven. 

A dream come true? Definitely! 

Yet, the reality for many businesses still revolves around stacks of paper, misplaced files, and the arduous task of sifting through a sea of documents just to find that one crucial piece of information. The challenges posed by traditional paper document systems have been felt by businesses of all sizes, resulting in lost time, wasted resources, and a notable drag on productivity.

Physical Filing Systems Are No Longer Cutting It

Some businesses continue to cling to the familiar comfort of physical filing systems, unaware of the many pitfalls that this choice presents. Relying on stacks of paper in a world driven by bytes and bits poses significant challenges. 

First, accessibility becomes an ordeal. Finding a single document amid stacks of files can take hours. Second, storage demands spiral out of control, devouring valuable office space. Third, security vulnerabilities remain a threat, with the risk of loss, damage, or unauthorised access. And, finally, businesses that resist change often find themselves trailing behind more nimble, tech-savvy competitors. 

Without realising it, small inefficiencies build up and the hidden costs of manual document management start to take a tangible toll. Valuable man-hours are squandered for a single file, when it could have been retrieved in seconds with a well-organised digital system.

The cost of paper, ink, storage space, and the often-overlooked price of lost opportunities all chip away at a business’s bottom line. The document management dilemma is real, and it’s high time to make some changes.

Industry-Leading Document Scanning and Data Processing Solutions for Optimal Document Management

With over 38 years of unwavering commitment to accessibility, security, and efficiency, and a practical understanding of the bottlenecks that paper systems impose, Scan2Archive’s services help revolutionise document management for all.

We have dedicated ourselves to unlocking the true potential of your documents, offering not just digitisation but a seamless transition to well-organised and accessible digital filing systems. 

Our expertise encompasses a wide range of solutions designed to complement diverse document management needs, including these 7 sought-after services:

1. Document Scanning Services

A renowned historical museum holds an extensive collection of rare manuscripts, historical documents, and vintage photographs. These artifacts are invaluable pieces of history, and the museum is dedicated to preserving them for future generations. However, managing and preserving these fragile paper documents has become increasingly challenging.

Scan2Archive’s professional and scalable document scanning services are designed to transform any paper documents into easily accessible digital files. Our meticulous approach to the entire scanning process is underscored by our Quality Accreditation, which complies with the AS/NZS ISO 9001:2015 standard, ensuring the highest level of precision, care, and quality.

With Scan2Archive’s document scanning solutions, you’re not just upgrading from paper to digital. You’re fundamentally enhancing the efficiency, accessibility, and security of your document management processes.

2. Book Scanning Services

A prestigious university library houses a vast collection of rare and historical books, manuscripts, and academic journals. These valuable resources are essential for both researchers and students, but the library faces challenges in ensuring their preservation, accessibility, and long-term usability.

Recognising the need to modernise its library services and cater to the evolving demands of the digital age, the university library is looking to digitise its extensive collection, making it accessible to a global audience while preserving the original books. As you can see, book scanning isn’t just about digitisation; it’s about transforming the way you manage and access information in a smarter, more efficient manner.

Scan2Archive offers reliable book scanning services that can transform your books and bound documents into multipage, searchable PDF/A eBooks. We have engineered specialised book scanning equipment and processes that enable the high-quality scanning of a wide range of materials, including books, minutes, brochures, ledgers, and programs, up to A1 in size.

3. Plan Scanning Services

An established architectural firm has been operating since the early 1970s. Over the years, they have amassed a vast collection of architectural drawings, blueprints, and construction plans, which are essential for their ongoing projects, client references, and legal compliance.

By digitising these large format documents, they can instantly retrieve them from their network or portable devices. This accessibility not only saves time but also enhances collaboration within the organisation.

The specialists at Scan2Archive offer expertise in digitising large format plans, diagrams, and drawings, providing businesses with a valuable tool to streamline document management. Our commitment to quality and precision ensures that your valuable reference documents are transformed into accessible digital assets.

Our state-of-the-art scanning equipment allows us to capture high-resolution images of large format plans efficiently. Even better, our experienced staff can repair aging and fragile plans using archival materials and techniques. The result is a digital archive that minimises the time spent searching for plans and maximises your office space.

Whether you need to reference architectural plans, engineering diagrams, or any large format documents, our plan scanning services empower your business with efficient document management.

4. Microfilm Scanning Services

A local government office that has been archiving hundreds of thousands of vital records, land deeds, property records, and historical documents on microfilm. While microfilm has been a reliable archival medium, accessing specific information has become a cumbersome and time-consuming process for both government employees and the public.

When stored properly (as in constantly making sure that temperature and humidity levels are just right) microfilm can last a long time. But to keep the master copy in perfect condition, it needs to be stored in specially sealed containers and have at least five back-ups or “working copies”. If you have thousands of master copies, you’ll probably be running up storage bills just to make room for their working counterparts.

Microfilm scanning services provide solutions to the challenges posed by traditional microfilm and microfiche records. With Scan2Archive’s expertise in microfilm scanning, businesses can digitise 16mm and 35mm microfilm, aperture cards, and microfiche efficiently. The resulting digital files can be stored as single or multi-page PDFs with text recognition and search capabilities, or high-resolution TIFF images, making retrieval and reference effortless.

Scan2Archive has a track record of over 20 years in converting microfilm and microfiche into digital files, working with various sectors such as councils, hospitals, financial services providers, state government departments, engineering firms, and mining companies

By investing in microfilm scanning services, businesses can enhance their document management processes, ensuring quick access to valuable historical data and improving overall efficiency without compromising data integrity.

5. Professional Services Scanning

A well-established accounting firm has decades’ worth of financial records, tax documents, client files, and receipts stored in numerous filing cabinets and boxes. Retrieving specific documents for auditing, tax season, or client queries had become a time-consuming and error-prone process, impacting the firm’s overall efficiency.

Professional services scanning plays a pivotal role in enhancing document management for a wide range of businesses, including accountants, financial planners, law firms, medical practices, consultants, marketing firms, and architects. 

It enables these professional service providers to streamline their operations by transitioning from paper-based records to digital formats. This shift simplifies document retrieval, sharing, and safeguarding, ultimately boosting efficiency and productivity.

Scan2Archive stands out as a trusted expert in professional services scanning with over two decades of experience. Our ISO-accredited solution offers a secure and straightforward path to document digitisation.

6. Data Entry Services

A busy healthcare facility maintains extensive patient records in physical files. Each day, administrative staff spend hours manually inputting patient information into the electronic health record (EHR) system. Not only is this a time-consuming and repetitive task, but it also poses the risk of data entry errors.

In a nutshell, data entry is the process of inputting data into a computer system for organisation and management purposes. This service helps businesses ensure quick and accurate data access, sharing, and retrieval. Like many of Scan2Archive’s services that allow the transition from paper to digital, data entry not only saves valuable time but also eliminates the risk of manual data entry errors.

Scan2Archive excels in providing expert data entry services that seamlessly integrate with scanning projects, ensuring minimal downtime and reliable project deliverables. Our services offer a cost-effective alternative to hiring and training temporary staff for short-term data entry contracts. We achieve this by leveraging internally developed character recognition technology, coupled with a team of highly skilled professionals, to guarantee precise and swift data entry.

7. Data and Document Conversion Services

A law firm with decades of historical case records, contracts, and legal documents is drowning in a sea of paper documents. The partners and associates spend significant amounts of time manually searching for specific documents, resulting in inefficiency and delays in client service. Additionally, the risk of misplacing or damaging critical files is a constant concern.

Data and document conversion involves the transformation of paper-based, microform, and digital archives into easily accessible electronic documents to improve searchability and retrieval times, reduce physical storage requirements, and lessen the risk of loss or damage.

Scan2Archive boasts extensive expertise in data and document conversion services, employing cutting-edge technologies and industry know-how to achieve optimal text conversion results.
