CONTRACT DOCUMENT SCANNING
CLEAR CONTRACT ACCESS WITHOUT THE PAPER BURDEN
Paper-based contracts create bottlenecks, increase storage pressure, and slow down everyday decision-making. Digital contract files allow agreements to be located quickly, shared easily, and managed with greater consistency.

A STRAIGHTFORWARD APPROACH TO STORING AND ACCESSING DOCUMENTS
Managing paper contracts is no longer necessary with a compliant, quality-controlled approach suited to modern organisations.

A structured move from paper-based contract storage to organised digital records, completed through a single, controlled process.
“Support throughout the transition from paper contracts to digital records was consistent and well coordinated. Communication was clear, and the outcome aligned with our operational requirements.”
Daniel Fraser, Contract Administration Manager – COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION FIRM
WHY ORGANISATIONS RELY ON SCAN2ARCHIVE
Moving contracts into digital formats is simpler than many organisations expect and provides reliable data protection. Whether managing confidential agreements or reducing routine admin, contract document scanning supports an organised, secure, and compliant way to handle records.
STARTING THE PROCESS IS SIMPLE
1. Requirements Review and Planning
The process starts with a clear review of contract volumes, indexing requirements, timeframes, and how digital files will be supplied at completion.
2. Secure Collection and Handling
Paper contracts are securely packed and collected through a nationwide transport network operated by trained and approved personnel.
3. Document Intake and Preparation
Contracts are registered, sorted, and prepared for scanning under controlled handling conditions to maintain order and accuracy.
4. Contract Scanning and Capture
Each contract is scanned using high quality equipment to produce clear, consistent digital records suitable for ongoing reference and compliance.
5. Quality Checks and Final Approval
All scanned files are checked against agreed standards to confirm accuracy, structure, and completeness before final delivery.
“Moving our supplier and lease contracts into digital files has simplified how we manage agreements across multiple locations. Documents are now easy to find and review when required.”

DOCUMENT SCANNING PROCESS
- Consultation and Scope of Works
All scanning projects should commence with a consultation between the customer and the scanning provider. Every customer and project have specific requirements and it’s important for the vendor to understand the individual needs for each project. A detailed quotation and scope of work document should be developed to articulate how the project will be executed including the costs, time, naming, and metadata requirements.
- Document Security and Transportation
Document security and confidentiality is often the most important consideration for any digitisation project. Secure transportation of the materials from the customers premises to the scanning facility is of paramount importance. The manner in which the materials are boxed prior to transportation plays a critical role in protecting the materials during transportation. Boxes should be appropriate for the weight and size for the materials and be made from durable cardboard or other material as necessary.
- Receipt of Materials and Document Preparation
Once the materials are received at the scanning facility they should be stored in a secure area with consideration for temperature and humidity, light, air quality, pest management and the area should comply with workplace health and safety requirements. Materials are then ready to be prepared. This process should include the removal of any plastic sleeves, paper clips and staples. Documents should then be dusted and cleaned, sorted, ordered and any paper tears repaired ready for scanning.
- Professional Scanning Specialists
A professional outsourced scanning solution will include the use of high speed, state-of-the art production scanners. The use of high-speed production scanners enable sophisticated image quality and enhancement features whilst producing high definition colour images.
- Quality Assurance
The quality assurance process should ensure that each step in the preparation and scanning process has a specific quality check. This should include every image being checked and that file outputs match the customers’ requirements as part of our quality assurance program.
